Abstract

In this paper, we present a function-sharing criterion for the normality of meromorphic functions. Let ff be a meromorphic function in the unit disc DC\mathbb{D}\subset \mathbb{C}, ψ1\psi_1, ψ2\psi_2, and ψ3\psi_3 be three meromorphic functions in the unit disc D\mathbb{D}, continuous on D:={zC:z=1} \partial{\mathbb{D}}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}\,:\,|z|=1\}, such that ψi(z)ψj(z)\psi_i(z)\neq\psi_j(z) (1i<j3)(1\leq i<j\leq 3) D\partial\mathbb{D}. We prove that, if ψ1\psi_1, ψ2\psi_2, and ψ3\psi_3 share the function ff on D\mathbb{D}, then ff is normal. Building upon this, we further establish an additional criterion for normal functions.
