On a question of Hong Xun Yi. (English) Zbl 1087.30028
The author studies the problem of uniqueness for meromorphic functions. Using a notation from the paper I. Lahiri [Nagoya Math. J. 161, 193–206 (2001; Zbl 0981.30023)], he obtains the following result:
Let $$S = \{z: z^n + a z^{n - 1} + b = 0\}$$, where $$n\geq 7$$ be a positive integer and $$a$$, $$b$$ be two nonzero constants such that $$z^n + a z^{n-1} + b = 0$$ has no multiple root. If $$\Theta (\infty; f) + \Theta (\infty; g) > 1$$ and $$E_f (S, 2) = E_g (S, 2)$$, $$E_f(\{\infty \}, \infty ) = E_g (\{\infty \}, \infty )$$ then $$f\equiv g$$.
This uniqueness theorem modifies and in some sense improves a result of M.-L. Fang and I. Lahiri [Indian J. Math. 45, No. 2, 141–150 (2003; Zbl 1048.30014)] and answers a question of H.-X. Yi [Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 52, No. 2, 215–224 (1995; Zbl 0844.30022)].
