On the number of meromorphic solutions of some first order algebraic differential equations (Q1197400)

For an equation \(u'=A_ 1(z)u+A_ n(z)u^ n\), \(A_ 1(z)\) and \(A_ n(z)\) being meromorphic functions, the author proves that there exist at most \(2n-1\), 10 or 9 distinct meromorphic solutions for \(n\geq 5\), \(n=4\) or \(n=3\), respectively. For an equation \(u'=\sum_{0\leq i\leq n}a_ i(z)u^ i\), all \(a_ i(z)\) being polynomials, a bound is given for the number of distinct meromorphic solutions dependent on \(\deg a_ n(z)\).
