On the common right factors of meromorphic functions

Abstract

In this paper, common right factors (in the sense of composition) of p1 + p2F and p3 + p4F are investigated. Here, F is a transcendental meromorphic function and pi's are non-zero polynomials. Moreover, we also prove that the quotient (p1 + p2F)/(p3 + p4F) is pseudo-prime under some restrictions on F and the pi's. As an application of our results, we have proved that R (z) H (z)is pseudo-prime for any nonconstant rational function R (z) and finite order periodic entire function H (z).
