On meromorphic solutions of nonlinear complex differential equations (Q6057451)

The paper describes the merorphic solutions of differential equations of a special form. Its main result is the following theorem:\par Theorem. Let \(n\ge 3\), \(d\ge 0\) and \(m\ge 1\) be integers, \(n\ge m\) and \(P(z,f,f^{'},\dots,f^{(t)})\) be a differential polynomial in \(f(z)\) of degree \(d\le n\) with small functions of \(f(z)\) as its coefficients. Suppose that \(P_{i}\) and \(\alpha_{i}\) are nonzero constants for \(i=1,2,\dots,m\), and \(\vert \alpha_{1}\vert >\vert \alpha_{2}\vert >\cdot\cdot\cdot>\vert \alpha_{m}\vert \). If \(f(z)\) is a meromorphic solution of the differential equation \[f^{n}f^{'}+P(z,f,f^{'},\dots,f^{(t)})=P_{1}e^{\alpha_{1}z}+P_{2}e^{\alpha_{2}z}+\cdot\cdot\cdot+P_{m}e^{\alpha_{m}z},\] then \(f(z)=q_{1}e^{\frac{\alpha_{1}z}{n+1}}\), where \(q_{1}\) is a nonzero constant such that \(q_{1}^{n+1}=\dfrac{(n+1)P_{1}}{\alpha_{1}}\), and \(\alpha_{1},\alpha_{2},\dots,\alpha_{m}\) are in one line. \par The theorem is illustrated by several examples. Note that in all examples to the theorem \(P\in\mathbb{C}\{f\}\). Therefore, all of them are described by the family of differential equations \(Q(f)=Q(c\exp(\lambda z))\), where \(Q(f)=f^{n}f^{'}+P(f,f^{'},\dots,f^{(t)}),c,\lambda\in\mathbb{C^{*}}\). In all these differential equations, the right side is a polynomial of the exponential function \((Q(c\exp(\lambda z))\in\mathbb{C}[\exp(\lambda z)])\). In this connection, a natural question arises. Is this condition necessary?
