Uniqueness theorems on entire functions and their difference operators or shifts. (English) Zbl 1258.30010

Uniqueness theory of meromorphic functions is an important part of the Nevanlinna theory. The authors study the uniqueness problems on entire functions and their difference operators or shifts. The main result is a difference analogue of a result of G. Jank et al. [Complex Variables, Theory Appl. 6, 51–71 (1986; Zbl 0603.30037)], which is concerned with the uniqueness of the entire function sharing one finite value with its derivatives. Moreover, two relative results are proved, and examples are provided for their results.
