Let
F
F
be a nonentire, meromorphic function of finite order with only real zeros and real poles such that
F
′
F’
has no zeros. We classify all such real
F
F
and all such strictly nonreal
F
F
whose poles are of bounded multiplicities. We also give examples of such
F
F
which are strictly nonreal and whose poles are of unbounded multiplicities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
