Uniqueness of \(L\)-functions and general meromorphic functions in light of two shared sets (Q6602406)

Let \(P(z) = z^n + az^{n-1} + b\), with \(n \geq 3\) and \(a\), \(b\) are nonzero constants such that the polynomial has no multiple zero. With the aid of the notion of weighted sharing values for meromorphic functions introduced by \textit{I. Lahiri} [Nagoya Math. J. 161, 193--206 (2001; Zbl 0981.30023)], let \(f\), \(\mathcal{L}\) share \((S, t)\) and \((\eta, 0)\), where \(t \in \mathbb{N}\cup \{0\}\), \(S\) is the set of zeros of \(P(z)\), \(\eta\) is the zero of \(P'(z)\), \(f\) is a nonconstant meromorphic function and \(\mathcal{L}\) is a nonconstant \(L\)-function in the Selberg class \(\mathcal{S}\). Then, it is shown under some discussed cases that \(f \equiv \mathcal{L}\). Therefore, this result deals with general meromorphic functions instead of meromorphic functions having finitely many poles which were considered in all previous papers.
