Abstract

Let f(z) be meromorphic in \({\varDelta }\), \(E_1=\{a_1, a_2, a_3\}\) and \(E_2=\{b_1, b_2, b_3\}\) be two sets in \({\mathbb {C}}\), \(k\in Z^+\). Suppose that \(f (z)\in E_1 \Leftrightarrow f^{(k)}(z) \in E_2\) and \(\max \limits _{0\le i\le k-1}|f^{(i)}(z)|=0\) whenever \(f (z)\in E_1\), then f(z) is a normal function.
