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…
By extending the idea of a difference operator with a fixed step to varying-steps difference operators, we have established a difference Nevanlinna theory for meromorphic functions with the steps tending to zero (vanishing period) and a…
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…
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…
It is shown that the difference equation \begin{equation}\label{abseq} (\Delta f(z))^2=A(z)(f(z)f(z+1)-B(z)), \qquad\qquad (1) \end{equation} where $A(z)$ and $B(z)$ are meromorphic functions, possesses a continuous limit to the…

This paper establishes a version of Nevanlinna theory based on Jackson difference operator $D_{q}f(z)=\frac{f(qz)-f(z)}{qz-z}$ for meromorphic functions of zero order in the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$. We give the logarithmic difference…
This note formulates a conjecture generalizing both the abc conjecture of Masser-Oesterl\'e and the author's diophantine conjecture for algebraic points of bounded degree. It also shows that the new conjecture is implied by the earlier…
This paper establishes a version of Nevanlinna theory based on Askey-Wilson divided difference operator for meromorphic functions of finite logarithmic order in the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$. A second main theorem that we have derived…
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…
This paper establishes the version of Nevanlinna theory based on Hahn difference operator $\mathcal{D}_{q,c}(g)=\frac{g(qz+c)-g(z)}{(q-1)z+c}$ for meromorphic function of zero order in the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$. We first establish the…
The maximum of the modulus of a meromorphic function cannot be restricted from above by the Nevanlinna characteristic of this meromorphic function. But integrals from the logarithm of the module of a meromorphic function allow similar…
Differential calculus is not a unique way to observe polynomial equations such as $a+b=c$. We propose a way of applying difference calculus to estimate multiplicities of the roots of the polynomials $a$, $b$ and $c$ satisfying the equation…
For two meromorphic functions $ f $ and $ g $, the equation $ f^m+g^m=1 $ can be regarded as Fermat-type equations. Using Nevanlinna theory for meromorphic functions in several complex variables, the main purpose of this paper is to…
A version of the second main theorem of Nevanlinna theory is proved, where the ramification term is replaced by a term depending on a certain composition operator of a meromorphic function of small hyper-order. As a corollary of this result…
The classical Mason-Stothers theorem deals with nontrivial polynomial solutions to the equation $a+b=c$. It provides a lower bound on the number of distinct zeros of the polynomial $abc$ in terms of the degrees of $a$, $b$ and $c$. We…
The existence of meromorphic solutions to various difference equations has been extensively studied in recent years, the precise functional forms of such solutions -- particularly when the function and its difference operators share values…
This paper consists of three parts. First, we give so far the best condition under which the shift invariance of the counting function, and of the characteristic of a subharmonic function, holds. Second, a difference analogue of logarithmic…
Nevanlinna theory studies the value distribution of meromorphic functions and provides powerful results in the form of the First and Second Main Theorems. In this paper, we introduce quaternionic analogues of the Nevanlinna functions.…
