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…

At the negative integers, there is a simple relation between the Lerch $\Phi$ function and the polylogarithm. Starting from that relation and a formula for the polylogarithm at the negative integers known from the literature, we can deduce…

In this paper we prove a number of results concerning uniqueness of a meromorphic function as well as its derivative sharing one or two sets. In particular, we deal with the specific question raised in [18], [19], [20] and ultimately…

In this paper, we investigate meromorphic solutions in $\mathbb{C}^m$ of the nonlinear differential equation \[\displaystyle f^n\partial_u(f)g^n\partial_u(g)=1,\] where $\partial_u(f)=\sum_{j=1}^mu_j\partial_j(f)$ and $\sum_{j=1}^m u_j\neq…

We show that alpha stable L\'evy motions can be simulated by any ergodic and aperiodic probability preserving transformation. Namely we show: - for $0<\alpha<1$ and every $\alpha$ stable L\'evy motion $\mathbb{W}$, there exists a function f…

Nevanlinna's second main theorem is a far-reaching generalisation of Picard's Theorem concerning the value distribution of an arbitrary meromorphic function f. The theorem takes the form of an inequality containing a ramification term in…

In this paper, we prove some uniqueness results which improve and generalize several earlier works. Also, we prove a value distribution result concerning $f^{(k)}$ which provides a partial answer to a question of Fang and Wang [A note on…

In this article, we prove some normality criteria for a family of meromorphic functions having zeros with some multiplicity. Our main result involves sharing of a holomorphic function by certain differential polynomials. Our results…

A decade ago, when teaching complex analysis, the third named author posed the question on whether or not there is an analogue to the Schwarz lemma for real analytic functions. This led to the note [MT], indicating that it is possible to…

We obtain several expansions for $\zeta(s)$ involving a sequence of polynomials in $s$, denoted in this paper by $\alpha_k(s)$. These polynomials can be regarded as a generalization of Stirling numbers of the first kind and our identities…

This paper is concerned with Mahler's method. We study in detail the structure of linear relations between values of Mahler functions at algebraic points. In particular, given a field ${\bf k}$, a Mahler function $f(z)\in{\bf k}\{z\}$, and…

For analytic functions f(z) in the open unit disk U with f(0)=f'(0)-1=0, S. S. Miller and P. T. Mocanu (Integral Transform. Spec. Funct. 19(2008)) have considered some sufficient problems for starlikeness. The object of the present paper is…

Let $f$ be a transcendental meromorphic function defined in the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$. We consider the value distribution of the differential polynomial $f^{q_{0}}(f^{(k)})^{q_{k}}$, where $q_{0}(\geq 2), q_{k}(\geq 1)$ are $k(\geq1)$…

In this paper we prove the result: Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of meromorphic functions on a domain $\Omega$ such that every pair of members of $\mathcal{F}$ shares a set $S:=\left\{\psi_1(z), \psi_2(z), \psi_3(z) \right\}$ in $\Omega$,…

Certain estimates involving the derivative $f\mapsto f'$ of a meromorphic function play key roles in the construction and applications of classical Nevanlinna theory. The purpose of this study is to extend the usual Nevanlinna theory to a…

The objective of the paper is twofold. The first objective is to study the uniqueness problem of meromorphic function $f(z)$ when $f^{(1)}(z)$ shares two distinct finite values $a_1$, $a_2$ and $\infty$ CM with $\Delta_cf(z)$. In this…

We prove a uniqueness theorem for an entire function, which shares certain values with its higher order derivatives.
