On the value distribution theory of elliptic functions (Q797721)

The Nevanlinna characteristic of a nonconstant elliptic function \(\phi\) (z) satisfies \(T(r,\phi)=Kr^ 2(1+o(1))\) as \(r\to \infty\) where K is a nonzero constant. In this paper, we completely answer the following question: For which polynomials \(Q(z,u_ 0,...,u_ n)\) in \(u_ 0,...,u_ n\), having coefficients a(z) satisfying \(T(r,a)=o(r^ 2)\) as \(r\to \infty\), will the meromorphic function \(h_ Q(z)=Q(z,\phi(z),...,\phi^{(n)}(z))\) either be identically zero or satisfy \(N(r,1/h_ Q)=o(r^ 2)\) as \(r\to \infty ?\) In fact, we answer this question for rational function \(Q(z,u_ 0,...,u_ n)\) in \(u_ 0,...,u_ n\), and also obtain analogous results for the Weierstraß functions \(\zeta\) (z) and \(\sigma\) (z).
