It is proved that any family of analytic functions with spherical derivative uniformly bounded away from zero ist normal.

Schwick, in [6], states that let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of meromorphic functions on a domain $D$ and if for each $f\in\mathcal{F}$, $(f^n)^{(k)}\neq 1$, for $z\in D$, where $n, k$ are positive integers such that $n\geq k+3$, then…

Let F be a family of functions meromorphic in a domain D. If {|f|/(1+|f|^3):f in F} is locally uniformly bounded away from zero, then F is normal.

We consider the family of all meromorphic functions $f$ of the form $$ f(z)=\frac{1}{z}+b_0+b_1z+b_2z^2+\cdots $$ analytic and locally univalent in the puncture disk $\mathbb{D}_0:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\,0<|z|<1\}$. Our first objective in this…

We study families of analytic and meromorphic functions with bounded generalized Schwarzian derivative $S_k(f)$. We show that these families are quasi-normal. Further, we investigate associated families, such as those formed by derivatives…

A fundamental result of Lappan [Comment. Math. Helv. \textbf{49} (1974), 492-495.] states that a meromorphic function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ is normal if and only if its spherical derivative is bounded on a five-point subset $E…

We establish a criterion for local boundedness and hence normality of a family $\F$ of analytic functions on a domain $D$ in the complex plane whose corresponding family of derivatives is locally bounded. Furthermore we investigate the…

Let D be a domain, n, k be positive integers and n >= K+3. Let F be a family of functions meromorphic in D. If each f in F satisfies (f^n)^(k) not equal to 1 for z in D, then F is normal family. This result was proved by Schwick. In this…

A theorem of A. Ostrowski describing meromorphic functions f such that the family {f(kz):k in C*} is normal, is generalized to holomorphic maps from $C*$ to a projective space.

In this paper, a normality criterion concerning a sequence of meromorphic functions and their differential polynomials is obtained. Precisely, we have proved: Let $\left\{f_j\right\}$ be a sequence of meromorphic functions in the open unit…

In [Israel J. Math, 2014], Grahl and Nevo obtained a significant improvement for the well-known normality criterion of Montel. They proved that for a family of meromorphic functions $\mathcal F$ in a domain $D\subset \mathbb C,$ and for a…

We consider the family of all functions holomorphic in the unit disk for which the zeros lie on one ray while the 1-points lie on two different rays. We prove that for certain configurations of the rays this family is normal outside the…

In this article we prove some normality criteria for a family of meromorphic functions which involves sharing of a non-zero value by certain differential monomials generated by the members of the family. These results generalizes some of…

In this paper we prove some normality criteria for a family of meromorphic functions, which involves the zeros of certain differential polynomials generated by the members of the family.

We show that a family ${\cal F}$ of meromorphic functions in a domain $D$ satisfying $$\frac{|f^{(k)}|}{1+|f^{(j)}|^\alpha}(z)\ge C \qquad \mbox{for all} z\in D \mbox{and all} f\in {\cal F}$$ (where $k$ and $j$ are integers with $k>j\ge 0$…

We prove that if D is a domain in C, alpha>1 and c>0, then the family F of functions meromorphic in D such that |f'(z)|/(1+|f(z)|^alpha)>c for every z in D is normalin D. For alpha=1, the same assumptions imply quasi-normality but not…

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…

In this paper, we present a function-sharing criterion for the normality of meromorphic functions. Let $f$ be a meromorphic function in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}\subset \mathbb{C}$, $\psi_1$, $\psi_2$, and $\psi_3$ be three meromorphic…

We show that the family ${\cal F}_k$ of all meromorphic functions $f$ in a domain $D$ satisfying $$\frac{|f^{(k)}|}{1+|f|}(z)\ge C \qquad \mbox{ for all } z\in D$$ (where $k$ is a natural number and $C>0$) is quasi-normal. The proof relies…
