Some properties on complex functional difference equations (Q1723762): Difference between revisions

Summary: We obtain some results on the transcendental meromorphic solutions of complex functional difference equations of the form \[ \sum_{\lambda \in I} \alpha_\lambda(z)\left(\prod_{j = 0}^n f(z + c_j)^{\lambda_j}\right) = R(z, f \circ p) = \frac{a_0(z) + a_1(z)(f \circ p) + \cdots + a_s(z)(f \circ p)^s}{b_0(z) + b_1(z)(f \circ p) + \cdots + b_t(z)(f \circ p)^t}, \] where \(I\) is a finite set of multi-indexes \(\lambda = (\lambda_0, \lambda_1, \ldots, \lambda_n)\), \(c_0 = 0, c_j \in \mathbb C \smallsetminus \{0 \}\) (\(j = 1,2, \ldots, n\)) are distinct complex constants, \(p(z)\) is a polynomial, and \(\alpha_\lambda(z)(\lambda \in I)\), \(a_i(z)\) (\(i = 0,1, \ldots, s\)), and \(b_j(z)\) (\(j = 0,1, \ldots, t\)) are small meromorphic functions relative to \(f(z)\). We further investigate the above functional difference equation which has special type if its solution has Borel exceptional zero and pole.
