Abstract
This paper concerns entire and meromorphic solutions to functional and nonlinear partial differential equations of the form a 1 f m+a 2 g n=a 3 with function coefficients a k , k=1,2,3, where f and g are unknown functions or partial derivatives of an unknown function. We will discuss some recent results and also give, among other things, some new results on these equations.
