Normality of meromorphic functions whose derivatives have 1-points (Q5962096)

The main theorem of the paper under review may be stated as follows. (Theorem 1) Let \(k\in \mathbb N\) and let \(m\) be a non-negative integer. Suppose that \(\mathfrak F\) is a family of meromorphic functions on a domain \(D\) such that all zeros have multiplicity at least \(k+m+2\). If for each point \(z_0 \in D\), there exists \(\delta >0\) such that for each \(f\in \mathfrak F\), \(f^{(k)} -1\) has at most \(\min\{m,k\}\) zeros (ignoring multiplicity) in the disk \(\Delta(z_0,\delta)\), then \(\mathfrak F\) is a normal family. The author also provides some instructive examples which show that his results are sharp.
