Using quasiconformal surgery, the authors construct new examples of entire functions \(E(z)\) such that \(E(z)=0\) implies \(E'(z)=\pm 1,\) these associated with second order linear differential equations with transcendental coefficients, where \(f_1,f_2\) are linearly independent solutions of the equation \(w''+A(z)w=0\), and \(E=f_1f_2\) is a Bank-Laine function and satisfies \[ 4A=(E'/E)^2-2E''/E-1/E^2. \] They also extend some previous results on the zero sequences of such functions.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1143.30002].
