Normality criteria of meromorphic functions with multiple zeros (Q2389580): Difference between revisions

Let \({\mathcal F}\) be a family of meromorphic functions defined in a domain \(D\subset\mathbb{C}\). The authors consider a normality criterion for \({\mathcal F}\). In this paper, the authors assume a condition of multiple zeros and a certain sharing condition. Let \(n\) and \(k\) be positive integers \(\geq 2\). Suppose that each \(f\in{\mathcal F}\) has only zeros of multiplicity at least \(k\), and suppose that for each pair \((f, g)\) in \({\mathcal F}\), \(f(f^{(k)})^n\) and \(g(g^{(k)})^n\) share a nonzero complex number a ignoring multiplicity. Then it is shown that \({\mathcal F}\) is normal in \(D\). The main tool of the proof is Zalcman's lemma.
