We prove an oscillation theorem of two meromorphic functions whose deriva-tives share four values IM. From this we obtain some uniqueness theorems, which improve the corresponding results given by Yang [16] and Qiu [10], and supplement results given by
Nevanlinna [9] and Gundersen [3, 4]. Some examples are provided to show that the results in this paper are best possible.
Key words: Nevanlinna theory; meromorphic function; shared value; uniqueness; order of growth
