Abstract

For a meromorphic function f, let N(l+1(r, 1/f ) denote the counting function of zeros of f of order l at least. Let f be a nonconstant meromorphic function, such that N(r, f) = S(r, f). Denote F = fn. Suppose that F and F′ share 1 CM. If (1) n ≥ 3, or (2) n = 2 and N(r, 1/
f ) = O(N(3(r, 1/f )), then, F = F′, and f assumes the form

f(z) = ce1/n z,
where c is a nonzero constant. This main result of this article gives a positive answer to a question raised by Zhang and Yang [1] for the meromorphic functions case in some sense. And a relative result is proved.
