It is shown that if three distinct values of a meromorphic function f:C^n -> P^1 of hyper-order strictly less than 2/3 have forward invariant pre-images with respect to a translation t:C^n -> C^n, t(z)=z+c, then f is a periodic function…

In this article, we consider the family of functions $f$ meromorphic in the unit disk $\ID=\{z :\,|z| < 1\}$ with a pole at the point $z=p$, a Taylor expansion \[f(z)= z+\sum_{k=2}^{\infty} a_kz^k, \quad |z|<p, \] and satisfying the…
We establish a law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) for the set of real numbers whose $n$-th partial quotient is bigger than $\alpha_n$, where $(\alpha_n)$ is a sequence such that $\sum 1/\alpha_n$ is finite. This set is shown to have…
For R(z, w) rational with complex coefficients, of degree at least 2 in w, we show that the number of rational functions f(z) solving the difference equation f(z+1)=R(z, f(z)) is finite and bounded just in terms of the degrees of R in the…

In this paper, we study the uniqueness of the differential-difference of meromorphic functions. We prove the following result: Let $f$ be a nonconstant meromorphic function of $\rho_{2}(f)<1$, let $\eta$ be a non-zero complex number,…
In this paper we obtain estimates for certain transcendence measures of an entire function $f$. Using these estimates, we prove Bernstein, doubling and Markov inequalities for a polynomial $P(z,w)$ in ${\Bbb C}^2$ along the graph of $f$.…
We consider transcendental meromorphic function for which the set of finite singularities of its inverse is bounded. Bergweiler and Kotus gave bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of escaping sets if the function has no logarithmic…
It is shown that, under certain assumptions on the growth and value distribution of a meromorphic function $f(z)$, \begin{equation*} m\left(r,\frac{\Delta_cf - ac}{f' - a}\right)=S(r,f'), \end{equation*} where $\Delta_c f=f(z+c)-f(z)$ and…
