Meromorphic Solutions of Linear Difference Equations with Polynomial Coefficients

We study the growth of the transcendental meromorphic solution f(z) of the linear difference equation:where q(z), p0(z), ..., pn-(z) (n ≥ 1) are polynomials such that p0(z)pn(z) ≢ 0, and obtain some necessary conditions guaranteeing that the order of f(z) satisfies σ(f) ≥ 1 using a difference analogue of the Wiman-Valiron theory. Moreover, we give the form of f(z) with two Borel exceptional values when two of p0(z), ..., pn(z) have the maximal degrees.

Fixed Points of Difference Operator of Meromorphic Functions

Letfbe a transcendental meromorphic function of order less than one. The authors prove that the exact differenceΔf=fz+1-fzhas infinitely many fixed points, ifa∈ℂand∞are Borel exceptional values (or Nevanlinna deficiency values) off. These results extend the related results obtained by Chen and Shon.

Milloux Inequality ofE-Valued Meromorphic Function

The main purpose of this paper is to establish the Milloux inequality ofE-valued meromorphic function from the complex planeℂto an infinite dimensional complex Banach spaceEwith a Schauder basis. As an application, we study the Borel exceptional values of anE-valued meromorphic function and those of its derivatives; results are obtained to extend some related results for meromorphic scalar-valued function of Singh, Gopalakrishna, and Bhoosnurmath.

Characteristic Functions and Borel Exceptional Values ofE-Valued Meromorphic Functions

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the characteristic functions and Borel exceptional values ofE-valued meromorphic functions from theℂR={z:|z|<R}, 0<R≤+∞to an infinite-dimensional complex Banach spaceEwith a Schauder basis. Results obtained extend the relative results by Xuan, Wu and Yang, Bhoosnurmath, and Pujari.

Equi-Distribution of Values for the Third and the Fifth Painlevé Transcendents

We show equi-distribution properties of values for the third and the fifth Painlevé transcendents in a sectorial domain. For our purpose we define a characteristic function of sectorial domain type by employing value distribution theory in a half plane. Some special cases admit analogues of Borel exceptional values. Similar results are obtained for modified versions of these Painlevé transcendents, which are of infinite growth order.
