Normality and shared sets of meromorphic functions
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the normal families and shared sets of meromorphic functions. The results obtained complement the related results due to Fang, Liu and Pang.

We prove some normality criteria for a family of meromorphic functions and as an application we prove a value distribution theorem for a differential polynomial.
Let ℱ be a family of meromorphic functions defined in a domain D, let ψ (≢ 0, ∞) be a meromorphic function in D, and k be a positive integer. If, for every f ∈ ℱ and z ∈ D, (1) f≠ 0, ; (2) all zeros of have multiplicities at least (k+2)/k; (3) all poles of ψ have multiplicities at most k, then ℱ is normal in D.
Let ℱ be a family of zero-free meromorphic functions in a domain D, let n, k and m be positive integers with n ≥ m+1, and let a ≠ 0 and b be finite complex numbers. If for each f ∈ ℱ, has at most nk zeros in D, ignoring multiplicities, then ℱ is normal in D. The examples show that the result is sharp.
