Abstract

In this article, the existence of finite order entire solutions of nonlinear difference equations fn + Pd(z, f)=p1eα1z + p2eα2z are studied, where n ≥ 2 is an integer, Pd(z, f) is a difference polynomial in f of degree d(≤ n-2), p1, p2 are small meromorphic functions of ez, and α1, α2 are nonzero constants. Some necessary conditions are given to guarantee that the above equation has an entire solution of finite order. As its applications, we also find some type of nonlinear difference equations having no finite order entire solutions.
