Let \(k+1\) be the maximal linear independent number among the entire functions \(\{A_j (z)\}^n_{j=0}\), then \(w(z)\) is called an \(n\)-valued \(k\)-type algebroid function, if \(w(z)\) satisfies the following irreducible equation \[ A_n(z) w^n+A_{n-1} (z)w^{n-1} +\cdots +A_0 (z)=0. \] By using a result of \textit{E. I. Nochka} [Sov. Math. Dokl. 27, 377-381 (1983; Zbl 0552.32024)], the author gives the following theorem: Let \(w(z)\) be an \(n\)-valued \(k\)-type algebroid function, \(a_j\) \((j=1,2, \dots, p)\) be \(p\) a distinct complex number, then \[ (p-2n +k-1) T(r,w) <\sum^p_{j=1} N_k \left(r, {1\over w-a_j} \right)+ O\bigl( \log rT(r,w) \bigr) \] where \(N_k (r,{1 \over w-a_j})\) is the counting function of \(a_j\)-points of \(w(z)\) in which an \(a_j\)-point of multiplicity \(m\) is counted \(m\) times if \(m\leq k\) and is counted \(k\) if \(m>k\).
