Abstract

Let g be a non-constant polynomial and let f be transcendental and meromorphic of sub-exponential growth in the plane. Then if k\geq 2 and Q is a polynomial the function (f\circ g)^{(k)}-Q has infinitely many zeros. The same conclusion holds for k \geq 0 and with Q a rational function if f has finitely many poles. We also show by example that this result is sharp.
