Borel and Julia directions of meromorphic Schröder functions II

Let R(w) be a non-inear rational function and s be a complex constant with | s | > 1. It is showed that for any solution f (z) of the Schr?der equation f (sz) = R(f (z)), Julia directions of f (z) are also Borel directions of f (z). Received: 2 May 2005; revised: 22 December 2005     

Unicity of meromorphic functions and their derivatives

In this paper, we prove that if a transcendental meromorphic function f shares two distinct small functions CM with its kth derivative f^(k) (k>1), then f=f^(k). We also resolve the same question for the case k=1. These results generalize a result due to Frank and Weissenborn.     

Value sharing of meromorphic functions and their derivatives

In this paper, we estimate the size of ρn's in the famous L. Zalcman's lemma. With it, we obtain some uniqueness theorems for meromorphic functions f and f^′ when they share two transcendental meromorphic functions.     

Hayman directions of meromorphic functions

In this paper, we shall prove the existence of the singular directions related to Hayman's problems^[1]. The results are as follows.

1. Suppose that f(z) is a transcendental integral function in the finite plane, then there exists a direction H: argz= θ₀ (0≤θ₀>2π) such that for every positive ε, every integer p(≠0, ?1) and every finite complex number b(≠0), we have $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{r \to \infty } \left\{ {n(r,\theta _0 ,\varepsilon ,f' \cdot \{ f\} ^p = b)} \right\} = + \infty $$
2. Suppose that f(z) is a transcendental integral function in the finite plane, then there exists a direction H:z= θ₀ (0≤θ₀>2π) such that for every positive ε, every integrer p(≥3) and any finite complex numbers a(≠0) and b, we have $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{r \to \infty } \left\{ {n(r,\theta _0 ,\varepsilon ,f' - a\{ f\} ^p = b)} \right\} = + \infty $$
3. Suppose that f(z) is a meromorphic function in the finite plane and satisfies the following condition $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{r \to \infty } \frac{{T(r,f)}}{{(\log r)^3 }} = + \infty $$ then there exists a direction H:z= θ₀ (0≤θ₀>2π) such that for every positive ε, every integer p(≥5) and every two finite complex numbers a(≠0) and b, we have $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{r \to \infty } \left\{ {n(r,\theta _0 ,\varepsilon ,f' - a\{ f\} ^p = b)} \right\} = + \infty $$

The singular directions in Theorems I–III are called Hayman directions.     

The size of the Julia set of meromorphic functions

We give a lower bound of the hyperbolic and the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set of meromorphic functions of finite order under very general conditions (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Uniqueness of meromorphic functions concerning sharing two small functions with their derivatives

In this paper, we study the uniqueness of meromorphic functions that share two small functions with their derivatives. We prove the following result: Let $f$ be a nonconstant meromorphic function such that $\mathop {\overline{\lim}}\limits_{r\to\infty} \frac{\bar{N}(r,f)}{T(r,f)}<\frac{3}{128}$, and let $a$, $b$ be two distinct small functions of $f$ with $a\not\equiv\infty$ and $b\not\equiv\infty$. If $f$ and $f"$ share $a$ and $b$ IM, then $f\equiv f"$.

Non-real zeros of derivatives of meromorphic functions

A number of results are proved concerning non-real zeros of derivatives of real and strictly non-real meromorphic functions in the plane.     

A note on meromorphic functions that share a set with their derivatives

In this paper, we study a problem of meromorphic functions that share an arbitrary set having three elements with their derivatives. A uniqueness result is derived which is an improvement of some related theorems given by Fang and Zalcman (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 280 (2003), 273–283) and Chang, Fang, and Zalcman (Arch. Math. 89 (2007), 561–569). As an application, we generalize the famous Brück conjecture with the idea of sharing a set.     

Uniqueness of meromorphic functions whose derivatives share four small functions

In this paper, we will prove some uniqueness theorems of meromorphic functions whose derivatives share four distinct small functions. The results in this paper improve those given by R. Nevanlinna, L. Yang, G.D. Qiu, and other authors. An example is provided to show that the results in this paper are best possible.     

Uniqueness and set sharing of derivatives of meromorphic functions

We prove some uniqueness theorems concerning the derivatives of meromorphic functions when they share two or three sets which will improve some existing results.     

Uniqueness results of meromorphic functions whose derivatives share four small functions

We prove an oscillation theorem of two meromorphic functions whose derivatives share four values IM. From this we obtain some uniqueness theorems, which improve the corresponding results given by Yang [16] and Qiu [10], and supplement results given by Nevanlinna [9] and Gundersen [3, 4]. Some examples are provided to show that the results in this paper are best possible.     

Normality of meromorphic functions whose derivatives have 1-points

Let k be a positive integer and let ${\mathcal F}Let k be a positive integer and let F{\mathcal F} be a family of functions meromorphic in a plane domain D, all of whose zeros have multiplicity at least k + 3. If there exists a subset E of D which has no accumulation points in D such that for each function f ? F{f\in\mathcal F}, f ^(k)(z) − 1 has no zeros in D\E{D\setminus E}, then F{\mathcal F} is normal. The number k + 3 is sharp. The proof uses complex dynamics.     

Normality and curvilinear limits of meromorphic functions and their applications

The paper contains two parts. In the first part, the behavior of meromorphic functions along arbitrary Jordan curves ending at a single boundary point is studied. The second part describes applications of the results of the first part to the study of the value distribution of meromorphic functions in terms of P-sequences.     

Derivatives of meromorphic functions and exponential functions

We take up a new method to prove a Picard type theorem. Let f be a meromorphic function in the complex plane, whose zeros are multiple, and let R be a Möbius transformation. If \({\overline {\lim } _{r \to \infty }}\frac{{T\left( {r,f} \right)}}{{{r^2}}} = \infty \) then f′z) = R(e ^z ) has infinitely many solutions in the complex plane.
