In this paper we have studied the growth of meromorphic solutions of higher order homogeneous and non-homogeneous linear difference equations with entire and meromorphic coefficients. We have extended and improved some results of Zhou and Zheng (2017), Belaidi and Benkarouba (2019) by using (p,q)-order and (p,q)-type.
In this paper we investigate the growth of meromorphic solutions of homogeneous and non-homogeneous linear difference equations with entire or meromorphic coefficients. We further extend and improve few results on the order of meromorphic solutions by using (p,q)-lower order and (p,q)-lower type followed by the investigation of Luo and Zheng (2016), Belaidi and Bellaama (2020).
In this paper we wish to prove some results related to the growth rates of entire and meromorphic functions on the basis of relative (p,q) th order and relative (p,q) th type of a meromorphic function with respect to an entire function for any two positive integers p and q.
In this article, we deal with the order of growth of solutions of non-homogeneous linear differential-difference equation \begin{equation*} \sum_{i=0}^{n}\sum_{j=0}^{m}A_{ij}f^{(j)}(z+c_{i})=F(z), \end{equation*} where $A_{ij},$ $F\left( z\right) $ are entire or meromorphic functions and $c_{i}$ $\left( 0,1,...,n\right) $ are non-zero distinct complex numbers. Under the sufficient condition that there exists one coefficient having the maximal lower order or having the maximal lower type strictly greater than the order or the type of other coefficients, we obtain estimates of the lower bound of…
In this article we have studied complex linear homogeneous difference equations where the coefficients are meromorphic functions, having finite iterated p-phi order. We have made some estimations on the growth of its nontrivial solutions. Also we have extended some of the previous results of Zhou-Zheng (2017), Belaïdi-Benkarouba (2019) and Belaïdi-Bellaama (2021).
We give an alternative and simpler method for getting pointwise estimate of meromorphic solutions of homogeneous linear differential equations with coefficients meromorphic in a finite disk or in the open plane originally obtained by Hayman and the author. In particular, our estimates generally give better upper bounds for higher order derivatives of the meromorphic solutions under consideration, are valid, however, outside an exceptional set of finite logarithmic density. The estimates again show that the growth of meromorphic solutions with a positive deficiency at infinity can be estimated …
In this paper we aim to establish some results depending on the comparative growth properties of composite transcendental entire or meromorphic functions and some special type of differential polynomials generated by one of the factors on the basis of (p,q)-th order and (p,q)-th lower order where p,q are positive integers with p greater than or equal to q.
The growth of meromorphic solutions of linear difference equations containing Askey-Wilson divided difference operators is estimated. The $φ$-order is used as a general growth indicator, which covers the growth spectrum between the logarithmic order $ρ_{\log}(f)$ and the classical order $ρ(f)$ of a meromorphic function $f$.
The paper gives a precise asymptotic relation between higher order logarithmic difference and logarithmic derivatives for meromorphic functions with order strictly less then one. This allows us to formulate a useful Wiman-Valiron type estimate for logarithmic difference of meromorphic functions of small order. We then apply this estimate to prove a classical analogue of Valiron about entire solutions to linear differential equations with polynomials coefficients for linear difference equations.
We establish pointwise growth estimates for the spherical derivative of solutions of the first order algebraic differential equations. A generalization of this result to higher order equations is also given. We discuss the related question of when for a given class $X$ of meromorphic functions in the unit disc, defined by means of the spherical derivative, and $m \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{1\}$, $f^m\in X$ implies $f\in X$. An affirmative answer to this is given for example in the case of $\mathord{\rm UBC}$, the $α$-normal functions with $α\ge1$ and certain (sufficiently large) Dirichlet type…
Necessary conditions are obtained for certain types of rational delay differential equations to admit a non-rational meromorphic solution of hyper-order less than one. The equations obtained include delay Painlevé equations and equations solved by elliptic functions.
The $φ$-order was introduced in 2009 for meromorphic functions in the unit disc, and was used as a growth indicator for solutions of linear differential equations. In this paper, the properties of meromorphic functions in the complex plane are investigated in terms of the $φ$-order, which measures the growth of functions between the classical order and the logarithmic order. Several results on value distribution of meromorphic functions are discussed by using the $φ$-order and the $φ$-exponent of convergence. Instead of linear differential equations, the applications in the complex plane lie i…
A crucial ingredient in the recent discovery by Ablowitz, Halburd, Herbst and Korhonen \cite{AHH}, \cite {HK-2} that a connection exists between discrete Painlevé equations and (finite order) Nevanlinna theory is an estimate of the integrated average of $\log^+|f(z+1)/f(z)|$ on $|z|=r$. We obtained essentially the same estimate in our previous paper \cite{CF} independent of Halburd et al \cite{HK-1}. We continue our study in this paper by establishing complete asymptotic relations amongst the logarithmic differences, difference quotients and logarithmic derivatives for finite order meromorphic…
Let $f$ be a meromorphic function on the complex plane $\mathbb C$ with the maximum function of its modulus $M(r,f)$ on circles centered at zero of radius $r$. A number of classical, well-known and widely used results allow us to estimate from above the integrals of the positive part of the logarithm $\ln^+M(t,f)$ over subsets of $E\subset [0,r]$ via the Nevanlinna characteristic $T(r,f)$ and the linear Lebesgue measure of the set $E$. The paper gives similar estimates for the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integrals of $\ln^+M (t,f)$ over the increasing integration function of $m$. The main part of the p…
Scalar-valued meromorphic Herglotz-Nevanlinna functions are characterized by the interlacing property of their poles and zeros together with some growth properties. We give a characterization of matrix-valued Herglotz-Nevanlinna functions by means of a higher-order interlacing property. As an application we deduce a matrix version of the classical Hermite-Biehler Theorem for entire functions.
Let f be a function transcendental and meromorphic in the plane, and define g(z) by g(z) = f(z+1) - f(z). A number of results are proved concerning the existence of zeros of g(z) or g(z)/f(z), in terms of the growth and the poles of f.
Let $U\not\equiv \pm\infty$ be the difference of subharmonic functions, i.e., a $δ$-subharmonic function, on a closed disc of radius $R$ centered at zero. In the preceding first part of our paper, we obtained general estimates for the integral of the positive part of the radial maximum growth characteristic ${\mathsf M}_U(t):=\sup\bigl\{U(z)\bigm| |z|=r\bigr\}$ over the increasing integration function $m$ on the segment $[0, r]$ via the Nevanlinna difference characteristic and the modulus of continuity of the function $m$. The second part of the work gives an explicit view for such estimates, …
Analogues of the key results of Wiman-Valiron theory are proved for a class of functions meromorphic in the unit disc, based on an approach developed by Bergweiler, Rippon and Stallard for the plane setting. The results give local approximations for the function and its logarithmic derivative and, in the case of positive order of growth, for higher order logarithmic derivatives as well.
We show that any dominant meromorphic self-map f of a compact Kaehler manifold X is an Artin-Mazur map. More precisely, if P_n(f) is the number of its isolated periodic points of period n (counted with multiplicity), then P_n(f) grows at most exponentially fast with respect to n and the exponential rate is at most equal to the algebraic entropy of f. Further estimates are given when X is a surface. Among the techniques introduced in this paper, the h-dimension of the density between two arbitrary positive closed currents on a compact Kaehler surface is obtained.
We first study the dynamics of the geodesic flow of a meromorphic connection on a Riemann surface, and prove a Poincaré-Bendixson theorem describing recurrence properties and $ω$-limit sets of geodesics for a meromorphic connection on $¶^1(\C)$. We then show how to associate to a homogeneous vector field $Q$ in ${\Bbb C}^n$ a rank 1 singular holomorphic foliation $\cal F$ of $¶^{n-1}(\C)$ and a (partial) meromorphic connection $\nabla^o$ along $\ca F$ so that integral curves of $Q$ are described by the geodesic flow of $\nabla^o$ along the leaves of $\ca F$, which are Riemann surfaces. The com…
In this article, we study the growth of meromorphic solutions of linear delay-differential equation of the form \begin{equation*} \sum_{i=0}^{n}\sum_{j=0}^{m}A_{ij}(z)f^{(j)}(z+c_{i})=F(z), \end{equation*}% where $A_{ij}(z)$ $(i=0,1,\ldots ,n,j=0,1,\ldots ,m,n,m\in \mathbb{N})$ and $% F(z)$ are meromorphic of finite logarithmic order, $c_{i}(i=0,\ldots ,n)$ are distinct non-zero complex constants. We extend those results obtained recently by Chen and Zheng, Bellaama and Bela\"ıdi to the logarithmic lower order.
In this paper, we introduce certain $n$-th order nonlinear Loewy factorizable algebraic ordinary differential equations for the first time and study the growth of their meromorphic solutions in terms of the Nevanlinna characteristic function. It is shown that for generic cases all their meromorphic solutions are elliptic functions or their degenerations and hence their order of growth are at most two. Moreover, for the second order factorizable algebraic ODEs, all the meromorphic solutions of them (except for one case) are found explicitly. This allows us to show that a conjecture proposed by …
In this paper, we study $q$-difference analogues of several central results in value distribution theory of several complex variables such as $q$-difference versions of the logarithmic derivative lemma, the second main theorem for hyperplanes and hypersurfaces, and a Picard type theorem. Moreover, the Tumura-Clunie theorem concerning partial $q$-difference polynomials is also obtained. Finally, we apply this theory to investigate the growth of meromorphic solutions of linear partial $q$-difference equations.
It is shown that the difference equation \begin{equation}\label{abseq} (Δf(z))^2=A(z)(f(z)f(z+1)-B(z)), \qquad\qquad (1) \end{equation} where $A(z)$ and $B(z)$ are meromorphic functions, possesses a continuous limit to the differential equation \begin{equation}\label{abseq2} (w')^2=A(z)(w^2-1),\qquad\qquad (2) \end{equation} which extends to solutions in certain cases. In addition, if (1) possesses two distinct transcendental meromorphic solutions, it is shown that these solutions satisfy an algebraic relation, and that their growth behaviors are almost same in the sense of Nevanlinna under so…
Let $\{b_{j}\}_{j=1}^{k}$ be meromorphic functions, and let $w$ be admissible meromorphic solutions of delay differential equation $$w'(z)=w(z)\left[\frac{P(z, w(z))}{Q(z,w(z))}+\sum_{j=1}^{k}b_{j}(z)w(z-c_{j})\right]$$ with distinct delays $c_{1}, \ldots, c_{k}\in\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\},$ where the two nonzero polynomials $P(z, w(z))$ and $Q(z, w(z))$ in $w$ with meromorphic coefficients are prime each other. We obtain that if $\limsup_{r\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\log T(r, w)}{r}=0,$ then $$deg_{w}(P/Q)\leq k+2.$$ Furthermore, if $Q(z, w(z))$ has at least one nonzero root, then $deg_{w}(P)=deg…
We investigate the existence of non-trivial holomorphic and meromorphic solutions of Fermat functional equations over an open Riemann surface $S$. When $S$ is hyperbolic, we prove that any $k$-term Fermat functional equation always exists non-trivial holomorphic and meromorphic solution. When $S$ is a general open Riemann surface, we prove that every non-trivial holomorphic or meromorphic solution satisfies a growth condition, provided that the power exponents of the equations are bigger than some certain positive integers.
We study the holomorphic/meromorphic function theory and the fundamental group of Euclidean open neighborhoods of compact subvarieties in homogeneous spaces; building on results of Hironaka, Hartshorne, Napier and Ramachandran in the ample normal bundle case.
By extending the idea of a difference operator with a fixed step to varying-steps difference operators, we have established a difference Nevanlinna theory for meromorphic functions with the steps tending to zero (vanishing period) and a difference Nevanlinna theory for finite order meromorphic functions with the steps tending to infinity (infinite period) in this paper. We can recover the classical little Picard theorem from the vanishing period theory, but we require additional finite order growth restriction for meromorphic functions from the infinite period theory. Then we give some applica…
Let $U\not\equiv \pm\infty$ be a $δ$-subharmonic function on a closed disc of radius $R$ centered at zero. In the previous two parts of our paper, we obtained general and explicit estimates of the integral of the positive part of the radial maximum growth characteristic ${\mathsf M}_U(t):= \sup\bigl\{U(z)\bigm| |z|=r\bigr\}$ over the increasing integration function $m$ on the segment $[0, r]\subset [0,R)$ through the difference characteristic of Nevanlinna and the quantities associated with the integration function $m$. The third part of our paper contains estimates of these quantities in term…
The concept of proximate order is widely used in the theories of entire, meromorphic, subharmonic and plurisubharmonic functions. We give a general interpretation of this concept as a proximate growth function relative to a model growth function. If a function is the proximate growth function with respect to the identity function on the positive semi-axis, then the logarithm of this function is the classical proximate order. Our definition uses only one condition. This form of definition is also new for the classical proximate order.
A class of discrete equations is considered from three perspectives corresponding to three measures of the complexity of solutions: the (hyper-) order of meromorphic solutions in the sense of Nevanlinna, the degree growth of iterates over a function field and the height growth of iterates over the rational numbers. In each case, low complexity implies a form of singularity confinement which results in a known discrete Painlevé equation.
The escaping set I(f) of a transcendental meromorphic function f consists of all points which tend to infinity under iteration. The Eremenko-Lyubich class B consists of all transcendental meromorphic functions for which the set of finite critical and asymptotic values of f is bounded. It is shown that if f is in B and of finite order of growth, if infinity is not an asymptotic value of f and if the multiplicities of the poles of f are uniformly bounded, then the Hausdorff dimension of I(f) is strictly smaller than 2. In fact, we give a sharp bound for the Hausdorff dimension of I(f) in terms o…

Using a new Borel type growth lemma, we extend the difference analogue of the lemma on the logarithmic derivative due to Halburd and Korhonen to the case of meromorphic functions $f(z)$ such that $\log T(r,f)\leq r/(\log r)^{2+ν}$, $ν>0$, for all sufficiently large $r$. The method by Halburd and Korhonen implies an estimate for the lemma on difference quotients, where the exceptional set is of finite logarithmic measure. We show the necessity of this set by proving that it must be of infinite linear measure for meromorphic functions whose deficiency is dependent on the choice of the origin. In…

We consider properties of binomial series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n z^{\underline{n}}$, where $z^{\underline{n}}=z(z-1)\cdots(z-n+1)$ and the convergence of binomial series in the complex domain. The order of growth of entire and meromorphic solutions of some difference equations represented by binomial series are discussed. Examples are given. As an application, we construct a difference Riccati equation possessing a transcendental meromorphic solution of order $1/2$.
This paper establishes a version of Nevanlinna theory based on Jackson difference operator $D_{q}f(z)=\frac{f(qz)-f(z)}{qz-z}$ for meromorphic functions of zero order in the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$. We give the logarithmic difference lemma, the second fundamental theorem, the defect relation, Picard theorem and five-value theorem in sense of Jackson $q$-difference operator. By using this theory, we investigate the growth of entire solutions of linear Jackson $q$-difference equations $D^{k}_{q}f(z)+A(z)f(z)=0$ with meromorphic coefficient $A,$ where $D^k_q$ is Jackson $k$-th order difference…
In this paper, we study the growth, in terms of the Nevanlinna characteristic function, of meromorphic solutions of three types of second order nonlinear algebraic ordinary differential equations. We give all their meromorphic solutions explicitly, and hence show that all of these ODEs satisfy the {\it classical conjecture} proposed by Hayman in 1996.
It is shown that if w(z) is a finite-order meromorphic solution of the equation H(z,w) P(z,w) = Q(z,w), where P(z,w) = P(z,w(z),w(z+c_1),...,w(z+c_n)) is a homogeneous difference polynomial with meromorphic coefficients, and H(z,w) = H(z,w(z)) and Q(z,w) = Q(z,w(z)) are polynomials in w(z) with meromorphic coefficients having no common factors such that max{deg_w(H), deg_w(Q) - deg_w(P)} > min{deg_w(P), ord_0(Q)} - ord_0(P), where ord_0(P) denotes the order of zero of P(z,x_0,x_1,...,x_n) at x_0=0 with respect to the variable x_0, then the Nevanlinna counting function N(r,w) satisfies N(r,w) >…
On The Relationship Between The Logarithmic Lower Order of Coefficients and The Growth of Solutions of Complex Linear Differential Equations in $\overline{\mathbb{C}}\setminus\{z_{0}\}$
We investigate the growth of the Nevanlinna Characteristic of f(z+η) for a fixed ηin this paper. In particular, we obtain a precise asymptotic relation between T(r,f(z+η) and T(r,f), which is only true for finite order meromorphic functions. We have also obtained the proximity function and pointwise estimates of f(z+η)/f(z) which is a version of discrete analogue of the logarithmic derivative of f(z). We apply these results to give growth estimates of meromorphic solutions to higher order linear difference equations. This also solves an old problem of Whittaker concerning a first order differe…
We consider a family of solutions of $q-$difference Riccati equation, and prove the meromorphic solutions of $q-$difference Riccati equation and corresponding second order $q-$difference equation are concerning with $q-$gamma function. The growth and value distribution of differences on solutions of $q-$difference Riccati equation are also investigated.
