Meromorphic Functions Sharing Three Values with Their Linear Differential Polynomials in an Angular Domain
Let f be a nonconstant meromorphic function of lower order µ (f) > 1/2 in ℂ, and let aj (j = 1, 2, 3) be three distinct finite complex numbers. We show that there exists an angular domain D = {z: α ≤ arg z ≤ β}, ...
