Abstract

We study the uniqueness question of transcendental meromorphic functions that share four distinct finite values a 1, a 2, a 3, a 4, where all the a j -points of the transcendental meromorphic functions are real numbers for 1 ≤ j ≤ 4. The results in this paper improve and extend the corresponding results from Czubiak–Gundersen (Proc Am Math Soc 82:393–397, 1981) and Yi (Proc Am Math Soc 124:585–590, 1996). An example is provided to show that the results in this paper, in a sense, are the best possible.
