Yi Hongxun [Sci. China, Ser. A 37, No. 7, 802-813 (1994; Zbl 0821.30024)] has proved three theorems in order to solve the problem posed by F. Gross [Complex Anal., Proc. Conf., Lexington 1976, Lect. Notes Math. 599, 51-67 (1976; Zbl 0357.30007)].
In this paper, the authors prove some analogous theorems with Yi’s theorems and obtain that if \(f\), \(g\) satisfy one of the following conditions: 1) \(f\), \(g\) are two non-constant meromorphic functions and \(\overline E_f(S)=\overline E_g(S)\), \(n>14\); 2) \(f\), \(g\) are two non-constant entire functions and \(\overline E_f(S)=\overline E_g(S)\), \(n>7\); 3) \(f\), \(g\) are two non-constant meromorphic functions and \(\overline E_f(\widetilde S)=\overline E_g(\widetilde S)\), \(\overline E_f(S)=\overline E_g(S)\), \(n>13\), then \(f-a= v(g- a)\), \(v^n=1\) or \((f- a)(g- a)= b^2u\), \(u^n= 1\), where \(n\in\mathbb{N}\), \(a(\neq 0)\), \(b(\neq 0)\in \mathbb{C}\), \(w= \cos{2\pi\over n}+ i\sin{2\pi\over n}\), \(S= \{a+ b,a+ bw,\dots, a+bw^{n+ 1}\}\), \(\widetilde S= \{a\}\) or \(\{\infty\}\), \(\overline E_f(S)= \bigcup_{\sigma\in S} \{z\in\widehat C\mid f(z)= c\}\).
