Further results about a special Fermat-type difference equation. (English) Zbl 1435.30097

Summary: In this paper, we prove the difference equation \(F(z)^3+ \Delta_cF (z + c)^3 = 1\) does not have meromorphic solution of finite order over the complex plane \(\mathbb{C} \). We also discuss an application to the unique range set problem.
