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

About 1 year old · traced to

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 g−ag-a has finitely many zeros.

Hayman's conjecture. The differential polynomial fnf′f^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 n≥2n\geq 2. The source presents it as a well-known conjecture; its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
