Meromorphic solutions of Fermat type differential and difference equations of certain types. (English) Zbl 1527.30025

Summary: In this paper, we mainly consider the Fermat type differential equation \[ f(z)^n+f'(z)^n=\varphi (z), \] where \(\varphi (z)=e^{h(z)}\) or \(1-e^{2h(z)}\), and \(h(z)\) is any entire function, and the Fermat type difference equation \[ f(z)^n+f(z+c)^m=e^{P(z)}, \] where \(P(z)\) is any entire function and \(c\) is a non-zero constant. We also provide short proofs for some existence results without complicated computations using elliptic functions.
