Application of Hayman’s Theorem to Directional Differential Equations With Analytic Solutions in the Unit Ball

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate analytic solutions of higher order linear non-homogeneous directional differential equations whose coefficients are analytic functions in the unit ball. We use methods of theory of analytic functions in the unit ball having bounded L-index. Our proofs are based on application of inequalities from analog of Hayman’s theorem for analytic functions in the unit ball. There are presented growth estimates of their solutions which contain parameters depending on the coefficients of the equations. Also, we obtained sufficient conditions that every analytic solution of the equation has bounded L-index in the direction. The deduced results are also new in one-dimensional case, i.e. for functions analytic in the unit disc. Keywords: Analytic function, analytic solution, slice function, unit ball, directional differential equation, growth estimate, bounded L-index in direction.
