A note on the value distribution of $\phi f^2 f^{(k)}-1$

In this paper, we study the value distribution of the differential polynomial $\varphi f^2f^{(k)}-1$, where $f(z)$ is a transcendental meromorphic function, $\varphi (z)\;(\not\equiv 0)$ is a small function of $f(z)$ and $k\;(\geq 2)$ is a positive integer. We obtain an inequality concerning the Nevanlinna Characteristic function $T(r,f)$ estimated by reduced counting function only. Our result extends the result due to J.F. Xu and H.X. Yi [J. Math. Inequal., 10 (2016), 971-976].

LOGARITHMIC DERIVATIVE OF THE BLASCHKE PRODUCT WITH SLOWLY INCREASING COUNTING FUNCTION OF ZEROS

The Blaschke products form an important subclass of analytic functions on the unit disc with bounded Nevanlinna characteristic and also are meromorphic functions on $\mathbb{C}$ except for the accumulation points of zeros $B(z)$. Asymptotics and estimates of the logarithmic derivative of meromorphic functions play an important role in various fields of mathematics. In particular, such problems in Nevanlinna's theory of value distribution were studied by Goldberg A.A., Korenkov N.E., Hayman W.K., Miles J. and in the analytic theory of differential equations -- by Chyzhykov I.E., Strelitz Sh.I. Let $z_0=1$ be the only boundary point of zeros $(a_n)$ %=1-r_ne^{i\psi_n},$ $-\pi/2+\eta<\psi_n<\pi/2-\eta,$ $r_n\to0+$ as $n\to+\infty,$ of the Blaschke product $B(z);$ $\Gamma_m=\bigcup\limits_{j=1}^{m}\{z:|z|<1,\mathop{\text{arg}}(1-z)=-\theta_j\}=\bigcup\limits_{j=1}^{m}l_{\theta_j},$ $-\pi/2+\eta<\theta_1<\theta_2<\ldots<\theta_m<\pi/2-\eta,$ be a finite system of rays, $0<\eta<1$; $\upsilon(t)$ be continuous on $[0,1)$, $\upsilon(0)=0$, slowly increasing at the point 1 function, that is $\upsilon(t)\sim\upsilon\left({(1+t)}/2\right),$ $t\to1-;$ $n(t,\theta_j;B)$ be a number of zeros $a_n=1-r_ne^{i\theta_j}$ of the product $B(z)$ on the ray $l_{\theta_j}$ such that $1-r_n\leq t,$ $0<t<1.$ We found asymptotics of the logarithmic derivative of $B(z)$ as $z=1-re^{-i\varphi}\to1,$ $-\pi/2<\varphi<\pi/2,$ $\varphi\neq\theta_j,$ under the condition that zeros of $B(z)$ lay on $\Gamma_m$ and $n(t,\theta_j;B)\sim \Delta_j\upsilon(t),$ $t\to1-,$ for all $j=\overline{1,m},$ $0\leq\Delta_j<+\infty.$ We also considered the inverse problem for such $B(z).$

On the value distribution of the differential polynomial Afn f(k) + Bfn+1 -1

In the paper, we study the value distribution of the differential polynomial Afn f(k) + Bf n+1 -1, where f is a transcendental meromorphic function and n(? 2),k(?2) are positive integers. We prove an inequality for the Nevanlinna characteristic function T(r,f) in terms of reduced counting function only. The result of the paper not only improves the result due to Q.D. Zhang [J. Chengdu Ins. Meteor., 20(1992), 12-20], also partially improves a recent result of H. Karmakar and P. Sahoo [Results Math., (2018),73:98].

Possible Intervals forT- andM-Orders of Solutions of Linear Differential Equations in the Unit Disc

In the case of the complex plane, it is known that there exists a finite set of rational numbers containing all possible growth orders of solutions off(k)+ak-1(z)f(k-1)+⋯+a1(z)f′+a0(z)f=0with polynomial coefficients. In the present paper, it is shown by an example that a unit disc counterpart of such finite set does not contain all possibleT- andM-orders of solutions, with respect to Nevanlinna characteristic and maximum modulus, if the coefficients are analytic functions belonging either to weighted Bergman spaces or to weighted Hardy spaces. In contrast to a finite set, possible intervals forT- andM-orders are introduced to give detailed information about the growth of solutions. Finally, these findings yield sharp lower bounds for the sums ofT- andM-orders of functions in the solution bases.

Invariant measures for meromorphic Misiurewicz maps

We study the existence of finite absolutely continuous invariant measures for meromorphic Misiurewicz maps whose Julia set is the whole sphere. In the rational context, these hypotheses imply that such a measure must exist. We show that it is not so for meromorphic maps unless an additional condition on the behavior of the map, which can be stated in terms of its Nevanlinna characteristic, is satisfied.
