The author shows a general criterion for normal families. Let \(F\) be a family of meromorphic functions in \(D\subset\mathbb{C}\) with the property that for each compact set \(K\subset D\), there is a function \(h_k:\overline\mathbb{C}\to [0, \infty]\), which is finite for at least five points on \(\overline C\), such that \(|f'(z)|\leq h_k(f(z))\) for all \(f\in F\) and \(z\in K\). Then \(F\) is normal in \(D\). The proof of the result is based on two lemmas of \textit{I. N. Baker} [Lectures on complex analysis (Xian, 1987), 1--17 World Sci. Publishing Singapore (1988)], \textit{L. Zalcman}, Bull. Am. Math. Soc., New Ser. 35, No. 3, 215--230 (1998; Zbl 1037.30021)]. An entire function \(f\) in the complex plane is called a \(\theta\)-bounded function if it satisfies that \(f^\#(z)= \theta_f (f(z))/(1+ |z|^2)\) and the function \(\theta_f: \overline C\to [0,\infty]\) is finite for at least three points in \(C\). As applications it is shown that (1) any two permutable and \(\theta\)-bounded entire functions share their Julia set; (2) if two entire functions are permutable, then the total number of the distinct perfectly ramified values of the two functions in \(\mathbb{C}\) is at most two. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0943.00051].
