Meromorphic solutions of certain nonlinear difference equations

Abstract

This paper focuses on finite-order meromorphic solutions of nonlinear difference equation fn(z)+q(z)eQ(z)Δcf(z)=p(z){f}^{n}(z)+q(z){e}^{Q(z)}{\text{Δ}}_{c}f(z)=p(z), where p,q,Qp,q,Q are polynomials, n≥2n\ge 2 is an integer, and Δcf{\text{Δ}}_{c}f is the forward difference of f. A relationship between the growth and zero distribution of these solutions is obtained. Using this relationship, we obtain the form of these solutions of the aforementioned equation. Some examples are given to illustrate our results.
