Abstract

If f is a meromorphic function from the complex plane C to the extended complex plane C¯, for r>0 let n(r) be the maximum number of solutions in {z:|z|≤r} of f(z)=a for a∈C¯, and let A(r, f) be the average number of such solutions. Using a technique introduced by Toppila, we exhibit a meromorphic function for which lim infr→∞n(r)/A(r,f)≥1.07328.
