Value Distribution of Meromorphic Solutions and Their Derivatives of Complex Differential Equations

Abstract

We deal with the relationship between the small functions and the derivatives of solutions of higher-order linear differential equations f(k)+Ak-1f(k-1)+⋯+A0f=0,   k≥2, where Aj(z)  (j=0,1,…,k-1) are meromorphic functions. The theorems of this paper improve the previous results given by El Farissi, Belaïdi, Wang, Lu, Liu, and Zhang.
