Some quantitative estimations on the zeros of differential polynomials (Q1313684): Difference between revisions

This article presents some estimates for the counting functions of zeros of differential polynomials. These estimates are related with earlier well-known results due to Hayman, Clunie and Mues. We quote a couple of typical results: (1) Let \(f\) be a transcendental meromorphic function and let \(Q(f)\) be a nonzero differential polynomial of \(f\) of degree \(n-1\). Suppose that \(\Psi=f^ nf'+Q(f)\). Then \(T(r,f) \leq 8 \overline N(r,{1 \over \Psi})+(5\alpha+9) \overline N(r,f)+S(r,f)\), where \(\alpha=\Gamma_ Q-(n-1)\), \(\Gamma_ Q\) the weight of \(Q\). (2) Let \(f\) be a transcendental meromorphic function, let \(P(f)=a_ nf^ n+ \cdots+a_ 0\) be a polynomial in \(f\) with small coefficients (in the sense of Nevanlinna theory) such that \(a_{n-1}/a_ n\) is constant, and let \(Q(f)\) be a differential polynomial of \(f\) of order \(\leq n-1\). Suppose that \(\Psi=P(f)f'+Q(f)\). Then either \(\Psi =a_ n(f+{a_{n-1} \over na_ n})^ nf'\) or \(T(r,f) \leq 8 \overline N(r,{1 \over \Psi})+(5\beta+9) \overline N(r,f)+ S(r,f)\), where \(\beta=\max (1,\Gamma_ Q-(n-1))\).
