## Estimates of derivatives of meromorphic functions on sets of a-points.(English)Zbl 0608.30034

In the paper,the following result is proved: Suppose that w is meromorphic in $${\mathbb{C}}$$, that $$a_{\nu}$$, $$1\leq \nu \leq q$$, $$q>4$$, are different complex constants, and that $$\psi(r)$$ is monotone decreasing on $$[0,\infty)$$ with $$\psi(r)\to 0$$ as $$r\to \infty$$. Then there is a set E of finite logarithmic measure in $$[0,\infty)$$ such that for every $$r\not\in E$$ there is a subset $$\{z_{\nu,k}\}$$, $$1\leq k\leq n_ 0(r,a_{\nu})$$ of the $$a_{\nu}$$-points of w which lie in $$| z| \leq r$$ and, moreover, satisfy $| w'(z_{\nu,k})| \geq \psi (r)A^{1/2}(r)/r,\quad 1\leq \nu \leq q,\quad 1\leq k\leq n_ 0(r,a_{\nu}),$
$\sum^{q}_{\nu =1}n_ 0(r,a_{\nu})\geq (q- 4)A(r)-o[A(r)],\quad r\to \infty,\quad r\not\in E.$ This result gives easy estimates of the order of meromorphic solutions of some classes of algebraic differential equations, which is elegantly demonstrated in the closing part of the paper.
