The author tries to improve the following result due to \textit{A. P. Singh} and \textit{P. M. Patil} [Math. Stud. 59, No. 1-4, 157-160 (1991; Zbl 0771.30038]: Let \(f\) be a meromorphic function of order \(\rho\;(<\infty)\) and lower order \(\lambda\). Let \(E\) be the set of those \(r\) for which the derivative \(T'(r,f)\) of the Nevanlinna characteristic function \(T(r,f)\) of \(f\) fails to exist and let \(E\) be bounded. Let \(\varphi(r)\) and \(\psi(r)\) be two continuous positive increasing functions of \(r\) such that (1) \(\lim_{r\to\infty}\psi(r)/\varphi(r)=0\); (2) \(\lim_{r\to\infty}\log\psi(r)/\log\varphi(r)=\alpha\). If \(\rho-\lambda<1-\alpha\), then \[ \lim_{r\to\infty}T(\varphi(r)\pm\psi(r),f)/T(\varphi(r),f)=1. \] Main theorem in this paper is to cancel the condition on differentiability of \(T(r,f)\). However, this is trivial by using the differentiable Ahlfors-Shimizu characteristic function of \(f\) to replace \(T(r,f)\). The author also tries to solve a problem proposed by C. C. Yang. Unfortunately, the author used a wrong inequality (7) in the proof.
