Abstract

By utilizing Nevanlinna's value distribution theory, we study the existence or solvability of meromorphic solutions of functional equations of the type $P(f)f'P(g)g'=1$, where $P(z)$ is a polynomial with two distinct zeros at least. We show that such type of equations have no meromorphic solutions $f$ and $g$ when $P(z)$ has at least three distinct zeros. Moreover, for some polynomials $P(z)$ with two distinct zeros only, such type of equations possess transcendental meromorphic solutions which can be expressed by Weierstrass $\wp$ function.
