Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the uniqueness problem of entire functions sharing two polynomials with their k-th derivatives. We look into the conjecture given by Lü, Li and Yang [Bull. Korean Math. Soc., 51(2014), 1281–1289] for the case F = fnP(f), where f is a transcendental entire function and P(z) = amzm+am−1zm−1+ …+a1z+a0(≢ 0), m is a nonnegative integer, am, am−1, …, a1, a0 are complex constants and obtain a result which improves and generalizes many previous results. We also provide some examples to show that the conditions taken in our result are best possible.

Keywords: entire function, derivative, uniqueness.
