Normal families of meromorphic functions and shared functions

The paper is devoted to the normal families of meromorphic functions and shared functions. Generalizing a result of Chang (2013), we prove the following theorem. Let h (≠≡ 0,∞) be a meromorphic function on a domain D and let k be a positive integer. Let F be a family of meromorphic functions on D, all of whose zeros have multiplicity at least k + 2, such that for each pair of functions f and g from F, f and g share the value 0, and f^(k) and g^(k) share the function h. If for every f ∈ F, at each common zero of f and h the multiplicities m_f for f and m_h for h satisfy m_f ≥ m_h + k + 1 for k > 1 and m_f ≥ 2m_h + 3 for k = 1, and at each common pole of f and h, the multiplicities nf for f and nh for h satisfy n_f ≥ n_h + 1, then the family F is normal on D.
