Unicity of meromorphic solutions of partial differential equations

In this survey, results on the existence, growth, uniqueness, and value distribution of meromorphic (or entire) solutions of linear partial differential equations of the second order with polynomial coefficients that are similar or different from that of meromorphic solutions of linear ordinary differential equations have been obtained. We have characterized those entire solutions of a special partial differential equation that relate to Jacobian polynomials. We prove a uniqueness theorem of meromorphic functions of several complex variables sharing three values taking into account multiplicity such that one of the meromorphic functions satisfies a nonlinear partial differential equations of the first order with meromorphic coefficients, which extends the Brosch??s uniqueness theorem related to meromorphic solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations of the first order.     

On meromorphic solutions of generalized algebraic differential equations

Summary In this paper we investigate the rate of growth of meromorphic functions f which are solutions of certain algebraic differential equation whose coefficients a(z) are arbitrary meromorphic functions. By method based on Nevanlinna's theory of meromorphic functions, it has been shown that if the zeros and poles of f satisfy the condition N(r, f′/f)=S(r, f′/f) then the ratio T(r, f′/f)/(T(r, a(z)), as r → ∞ outside a set of r values of finite measure, is bounded for at least one of the coefficients a(z).

Infinite-order differential equations with analytic solutions

An infinite-order linear differential equation with constant coefficients and characteristic equation of the class [1, 0] is investigated, and a class of solutions is introduced. It is shown that, if the zeros _k = _k+ i _k of the characteristic function satisfy the condition , then all solutions of the class under consideration are analytic functions.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 10, No. 3, pp. 269–278, September, 1971.     

On global meromorphic solutions of second-order linear differential equations with meromorphic coefficients

The main purpose of this article is to study the existence theories of global meromorphic solutions for some second-order linear differential equations with meromorphic coefficients, which perfect the solution theory of such equations.     

On modular solutions of certain meromorphic modular differential equations

Kaneko and Koike gave the “extremal” quasimodular forms of depth 1 for PSL₂(ℤ) and modular differential equations they satisfy. In this paper, we study modular solutions of their modular differential equations.     

On analytic solutions of operator differential equations

We find conditions on a closed operator A in a Banach space that are necessary and sufficient for the existence of solutions of a differential equation y′(t) = Ay(t), t ∈[0,∞),in the classes of entire vector functions with given order of growth and type. We present criteria for the denseness of classes of this sort in the set of all solutions. These criteria enable one to prove the existence of a solution of the Cauchy problem for the equation under consideration in the class of analytic vector functions and to justify the convergence of the approximate method of power series. In the special case where A is a differential operator, the problem of applicability of this method was first formulated by Weierstrass. Conditions under which this method is applicable were found by Kovalevskaya.

The deficiencies of meromorphic solutions of certain algebraic differential equations

We use the spread relation to prove estimates that contain the Nevanlinna deficiencies of values of meromorphic solutions of certain differential equations of the form (1.1) below. We construct examples which show that all of our estimates are sharp, and in most of these constructions we use functions which are extremal for the spread relation. Several other examples are also given to illustrate our results.     

On meromorphic solutions of algebraic differential equations in angular domains

We obtain asymptotic estimates of meromorphic solutions to the differential equationP _n (z, , )=P _n–1 (z, , ,..., ^(m) ) in the angular domain P={z: arg z · }. Here P_n(z, w, w) is a polynomial in all variables, and of degree n with respect to w and w; P_n–1(z, w, w, ..., w^(m)) is a polynomial in all variables, and of degree n –1 with respect to w, w, ..., w^(m) In the particular case, when the solutions are entire functions, these estimates are more precise than the known estimates that are obtained by using the method of Wiman-Valiron, which cannot be applied to meromorphic solutions in the domain P.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 4, pp. 514–523, April, 1992.     

The uniqueness problem and meromorphic solutions of partial differential equations

A general uniqueness theorem is proved for meromorphic functions in Cⁿ which share three distinct small functions with their linear partial differential polynomials. As a consequence, a necessary and sufficient condition in terms of shared values for a meromorphic function to be a solution of a linear partial differential equation of constant coefficients is obtained. All the three authors are partially supported by NSF grants.     

On the growth of meromorphic solutions of the Schwarzian differential equations

We study the properties of meromorphic solutions of the Schwarzian differential equations in the complex plane by using some techniques from the study of the class Wp. We find some upper bounds of the order of meromorphic solutions for some types of the Schwarzian differential equations. We also show that there are no wandering domains nor Baker domains for meromorphic solutions of certain Schwarzian differential equations.     

On meromorphic solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations of first order

We prove a uniqueness theorem in terms of value distribution for meromorphic solutions of a class of nonlinear partial differential equations of first order, which shows that such solutions f are uniquely determined by the zeros and poles of f−cj (counting multiplicities) for two distinct complex numbers c₁ and c₂.

Estimates on the growth of meromorphic solutions of linear differential equations

We give a pointwise estimate of meromorphic solutions of linear differential equations with coefficients meromorphic in a finite disk or in the open plane. Our results improve some earlier estimates of Bank and Laine. In particular we show that the growth of meromorphic solutions with ()>0 can be estimated in terms of initial conditions of the solution at or near the origin and the characteristic functions of the coefficients. Examples show that the estimates are sharp in a certain sense. Our results give an affirmative answer to a question of Milne Anderson. Our method consists of two steps. In Theorem 2.1 we construct a path (₀, , t) consisting of the ray followed by the circle on which the coefficients are all bounded in terms of the sum of their characteristic functions on a larger circle. In Theorem 2.2 we show how such an estimate for the coefficients leads to a corresponding bound for the solution on z = t. Putting these two steps together we obtain our main result, Theorem 2.3.
