Abstract In this paper, we investigate the growth of solutions of the differential equation: f (k) + Ak−1 (z) exp



ak−1 (z 0 − z)n



f (k−1) + · · · + A0 (z) exp



a0 (z 0 − z)n

 f = 0,

where A j (z) are analytic functions in the closed complex plane except at z 0 and a j ( j = 0, . . . , k − 1) are distinct complex numbers. Other linked cases have been studied.

1 Introduction and Statement of Results Throughout this paper, we assume that the reader is familiar with the fundamental results and the standard notations of the Nevanlinna value distribution theory of meromorphic function on the complex plane C and in the unit disc D = {z ∈ C : |z| < 1} (see [11,17,23]). The importance of this theory has inspired many authors to find modifications and generalizations to different domains. Extensions of Nevanlinna Theory to annuli have been made by [2,13–15,18].

investigated the growth of solutions of certain linear differential equations near a finite singular point. In this paper, we continue this investigation near a finite singular point to study other types of linear differential equations. First, we recall the appropriate definitions. Set C = C ∪ {∞}, and suppose that f (z) is meromorphic in C\ {z 0 }, where z 0 ∈ C. Define the counting function near z 0 by: r n (t, f ) − n (∞, f ) dt − n (∞, f ) log r , Nz 0 (r , f ) = − t ∞

where n (t, f ) counts the number of poles of f (z) in the region {z ∈ C : t ≤ |z − z 0 |}∪ {∞} each pole according to its multiplicity; and the proximity function by: 1 m z 0 (r , f ) = 2π

The characteristic function of f is defined in the usual manner by: Tz 0 (r , f ) = m z 0 (r , f ) + Nz 0 (r , f ) . In addition, the order of meromorphic function f (z) near z 0 is defined by σT ( f , z 0 ) = lim sup r →0

log+ Tz 0 (r , f ) . − log r

For an analytic function f (z) in C\ {z 0 }, we have also the definition: σ M ( f , z 0 ) = lim sup r →0

log+ log+ Mz 0 (r , f ) , − log r

where Mz 0 (r , f ) = max {| f (z)| : |z − z 0 | = r } . When the order is infinite, we introduce the notion of hyper-order near z 0 that is defined as follows:

σ2,T ( f , z 0 ) = lim sup

log+ log+ Tz 0 (r , f ) , − log r

σ2,M ( f , z 0 ) = lim sup

log+ log+ log+ Mz 0 (r , f ) . − log r
