Further Results on Meromorphic Functions and Their nth Order Exact Differences with Three Shared Values

摘要

Let E(a;f) be the set of a-points of a meromorphic function f(z) counting multiplicities. We prove that if a transcendental meromorphic function f(z) of hyper order strictly less than 1 and its nth exact difference Δnc f(z) satisfy E(1;f)= E(1;Δnc f), E(0;f) E(0;Δnc f) and E(1;f) E(1;Δnc f), then Δnc f(z) f(z). This result improves a more recent theorem due to Gao et al.(Gao Z, Kornonen R, Zhang J, Zhang Y. Uniqueness of meromorphic functions sharing values with their nth order exact differences. Analysis Math., 2018, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10476- 018-0605-2) by using a simple method.
