Relation between differential polynomials and small functions. (English) Zbl 1203.34148
The authors discuss the growth of solutions of the second-order non-homogeneous differential equation
$f'' +A_1(z)e^{az} f' +A_0(z)e^{bz} f=F,$ where $$a,b$$ are complex numbers and $$A_j(z)\not\equiv 0$$ $$(j=0,1)$$, and $$F\not\equiv 0$$ are entire functions such that $$\max \{ \rho(A_0), \rho(A_1), \rho(F)\}<1$$. Slight improvements of the results of I. Laine and J. Wang [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 342, 39–51 (2008; Zbl 1151.34069)], and Z. X. Chen [Sci. China Ser. A 45, No. 3, 290–300 (2002; Zbl 1054.34139)] are obtained. Relations between small functions and some differential polynomials generated by solutions of the equation are studied.
