A normality Criterion for a Family of Meromorphic Functions
Gopal Datt, Sanjay Kumar
Abstract
Schwick, in [6], states that let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of meromorphic functions on a domain $D$ and if for each $f\in\mathcal{F}$, $(f^n)^{(k)}\neq 1$, for $z\in D$, where $n, k$ are positive integers such that $n\geq k+3$, then $\mathcal{F}$ is a normal family in $D$. In this paper, we investigate the opposite view that if for each $f\in\mathcal{F}$, $(f^n)^{(k)}(z)-ψ(z)$ has zeros in $D$, where $ψ(z)$ is a holomorphic function in $D$, then what can be said about the normality of the family $\mathcal{F}$?
