Growth of meromorphic solutions of algebraic differential equations in angular domains (Q805835)

Let the differential equation \[ \sum^{p}_{j=0}\sum^{t(j)}_{k=0}c_{kj}(z)f(z)^ kf'(z)^ j=0 \] be given, where \(c_{kj}(z)=(a_{kj}+o(1))z^{d(k,j)}\) as \(z\to \infty\) in \(D=\{z: Im z\geq 0\), \(| z| \geq R\}\). The author investigates the asymptotic behavior of meromorphic solutions f(z) as \(z=re^{i\phi}\to \infty\) in D. Theorem 1 says that there exist \(\phi_ j\) (1\(\leq j\leq \ell\), \(\ell \geq 0)\) and \(\rho\) (t), \(\beta_ t\), \(\eta_ t\), \(\gamma_ t\) (1\(\leq t\leq q\), \(q\geq 0)\) and \(\nu\),\(\rho\) such that: (a) If \(\phi =\phi_ j\), then \(\log | f(re^{i\phi})| =o(r^{\rho})\) as \(r\to \infty\) outside some exceptional set of finite measure; (b) If \(\eta_ t<\phi <\gamma_ t\), then \(\log f(re^{i\phi})=z^{\rho (t)}(\beta_ t+0(1))\) as \(r\to \infty\); (c) For all other \(\phi\), we have \(| f(re^{i\phi})| <r^{\nu +\epsilon}\quad (\epsilon >0,\quad r>r(\phi,\epsilon)),\) except on a set of z-values that can be covered by a union of disks with a finite sum of radii. Theorem 2 gives a result of a similar type for the case that the coefficients \(c_{kj}(z)\) satisfy \(c_{kj}(z)=(a_{kj}+o(1))z^{d(k,j)}(\log z)^{h(k,j)}\).
