Meromorphic functions that share four or three small functions with their difference operators

Abstract In this paper, we prove that non-constant meromorphic functions of finite order and their difference operators are identical, if they share four small functions “IM”, or share two small functions and ∞ CM. Our results show that a conjecture posed by Chen–Yi in 2013 is still valid for shared...

Description
Summary:Abstract In this paper, we prove that non-constant meromorphic functions of finite order and their difference operators are identical, if they share four small functions “IM”, or share two small functions and ∞ CM. Our results show that a conjecture posed by Chen–Yi in 2013 is still valid for shared small functions, and improve some earlier results obtained by Li–Yi, Lü et al. We also study the uniqueness of a meromorphic function partially sharing three small functions with their difference operators.
