Abstract: Let h be a complex meromorphic function decomposed in two different ways P(f) and Q(g), where f, g are meromorphic functions and P, Q are rational functions. We follow an approach due to C.-C. Yang, P. Li and K. H. Ha who handle similar decompositions, however, with P, Q polynomials, by applying the Second Nevanlinna Theorem. We establish relations between the number k of distinct zeros of P', the degrees of P and Q, and (unless f, g are analytic functions) the number of distinct zeros of the denominators of P and Q.

Review text

Let \(h\) be a complex meromorphic function and let us consider the problem of finding conditions which exclude that \(h\) and two different decompositions of the form \(F(f)\) and \(G(g)\) with \(F\), \(G\) rational and \(f\), \(g\) meromorphic complex functions. Suppose \(F= A/B\), \(G= C/D\) with \(\text{gcd}(A, B)= \text{gcd}(C/D)= 1\) and \(C\), \(D\) monic . Let us set \(p= \max(\deg A,\deg B)\) and \(q= \max(\deg C, \deg D)\). The authors prove that if \(k\) distinct zeros of \(F\) satisfy some suitable conditions and \(h= F(f)= G(g)\) 1) if \(f\), \(g\) are entire functions, then \(kq\leq p\); 2) if \(f\), \(g\) are meromorphic functions, then \(kq\leq p\) \((1+k n(D))\), where \(n(D)\) is the number of distinct zeros of \(D\).
