A remark concerning normal families and shared values

Andreas Sauer

Abstract

We improve well-known results concerning normal families and shared values of meromorphic functions in the plane. In particular, we obtain two corollaries concerning meromorphic functions $f \colon {\mathbb C} \to {\widehat{\mathbb C}}$: i) If $f$ shares a non-zero finite value with $f'$, and such that $f'$ is bounded on the preimages of $f$ for a second value, then $f$ is normal. ii) If $f$ shares two finite values with $f'$, then $f$ and $f'$ are normal.

Key Result

Theorem 2.1

Let $\cal F$ be a family of meromorphic functions on a domain $D \subset \mathbb C$, $a \neq 0$ and $b \neq 0$ be complex numbers and $K \ge 1$. If for every $f \in \cal F$ and all $z \in D$ then $\cal F$ is a normal family.
