Abstract:
By utilizing the difference analogue of
Nevanlinna's value distribution theory of
meromorphic functions, the exponents of convergence of
zeros, poles and the order of growth of meromorphic solutions of the
nonlinear high order difference equation
P_1(z)\prod_i=1^nf(z+c_i)=P_2(z)f(z)^n
are studied,
where n is a positive
integer, ~c_i(i=1,...,n) are non-vanishing complex constants,
and~P_1(z),~P_2(z) are given non-vanishing polynomials.
The accurate estimate of the order of growth of meromorphic solutions to
this difference equation is attained under the given conditions.
