Sun, Guirong Oscillation theory of solutions of a class of higher order linear differential equations with meromorphic coefficients. (Chinese. English summary) Zbl 1340.30139 Acta Math. Sci., Ser. A, Chin. Ed. 34, No. 6, 1426-1434 (2014). Summary: This article is devoted to studying the higher order linear differential equations \(f^{(k)}+A_{k-2}f^{(k-2)}+\cdots +A_1f'=A_0f=0\), where \(A_j(z) (j=0,1,\dots, k-2)\) are meromorphic functions with at most finitely many poles. We show that small perturbations of such equations lead to solutions whose zeros must have infinite exponent of convergence. Some results of A. Alotaibi [Result. Math. 47, No. 3–4, 165–175 (2005; Zbl 1101.34071)] are extended.
