Extract

Suppose that D is a plane domain and that f(z), g(z) are meromorphic in D and f(z) ╪ g(z) for all z in D. Then following Rubel and Yang [11], we say that f(z) avoids g(z) in D. A system of functions g1(z), …, gn(z) is said to be unavoidable if, whenever f is meromorphic in D, at least one of the equations f(z) = gv(z) has a root in D. Rubel and Yang [11] proved that if D is the open plane, then any two functions form an avoidable system, but three distinct polynomials a1, a2, a3 such that a1−a2 and a2−a3 are not both constant form an unavoidable system.
