Malmquist Theorem for the Solutions of Differential Equations in the Vicinity of a Branching Point

Abstract

An analog of the Malmquist theorem on the growth of solutions of the differential equation $f' = P(z, f)/Q(z, f)$, where $P(z, f)$ and $Q(z, f)$ are polynomials in all variables, is proved for the case where the coefficients and solutions of this equation have a branching point in infinity (e.g., a logarithmic singularity).
