On the cardinality of unique range sets with weight one

TL;DR

This paper proves that for meromorphic functions, sharing a specific set of at least 13 points with weight one uniquely determines the functions, extending previous results in the field.

Contribution

It establishes a new lower bound on the size of sets that guarantee uniqueness of meromorphic functions when shared with weight one.

Findings

Existence of a set with at least 13 points ensuring uniqueness

Improvement over previous bounds in unique range sets

Extension of results to meromorphic functions with weight one

Abstract

Two meromorphic functions $f$ and $g$ are said to share the set $S\subset \mathbb{C}\cup\{\infty\}$ with weight $l\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}\cup\{\infty\}$, if $E_{f}(S,l)=E_{g}(S,l)$ where $$E_{f}(S,l)=\bigcup\limits_{a \in S}\{(z,t) \in \mathbb{C}\times\mathbb{N}~ |~ f(z)=a ~\text{with~ multiplicity}~ p\},$$ where $t=p$ if $p\leq l$ and $t=p+1$ if $p>l$. In this paper, we improve and supplement the result of L. W. Liao and C. C. Yang (On the cardinality of the unique range sets for meromorphic and entire functions, Indian J. Pure appl. Math., 31 (2000), no. 4, 431-440) by showing that there exist a finite set $S$ with cardinality $\geq 13$ such that $E_{f}(S,1)=E_{g}(S,1)$ implies $f\equiv g$.
