Hayman's conjecture on generalized Picard exceptional values of fnff^n f'

From papers

Let ff be a transcendental meromorphic function and let nn be a positive integer. A finite constant aa is a generalized Picard exceptional value of a meromorphic function gg if gag-a has finitely many zeros.

Hayman's conjecture. The differential polynomial fnff^n f' cannot have any non-zero generalized Picard exceptional values.

This conjecture concerns the value distribution of differential polynomials and extends Hayman's earlier theorem for transcendental entire functions with n2n\geq 2. The source presents it as a well-known conjecture; its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
