Abstract: | We study the zero distribution of meromorphic functions of the formf(z)=Σ
k=1
∞
a
k/z−z
k
wherea
k
>0. Noting thatf is the complex conjugate of the gradient of a logarithmic potential, our results have application in the study of the equilibrium
points of such a potential.
Furthermore, answering a question of Hayman, we also show that the derivative of a meromorphic function of order at most one,
minimal type has infinitely many zeros.
