Three results on transcendental meromorphic solutions of certain nonlinear differential equations

Abstract: In this paper, we study the transcendental meromorphic solutions for the nonlinear differential equations: $f^{n}+P(f)=R(z)e^{\alpha(z)}$ and $f^{n}+P_{*}(f)=p_{1}(z)e^{\alpha_{1}(z)}+p_{2}(z)e^{\alpha_{2}(z)}$ in the complex plane, where $P(f)$ and $P_{*}(f)$ are differential polynomials in $f$ of degree $n-1$ with coefficients being small functions and rational functions respectively, $R$ is a non-vanishing small function of $f$, $\alpha$ is a nonconstant entire function, $p_{1}, p_{2}$ are non-vanishing rational functions, and $\alpha_{1}, \alpha_{2}$ are nonconstant polynomials. Particularly, we consider the solutions of the second equation when $p_{1}, p_{2}$ are nonzero constants, and $\deg \alpha_{1}=\deg \alpha_{2}=1$. Our results are improvements and complements of Liao (Complex Var. Elliptic Equ. 2015, 60(6): 748--756), and Rong-Xu (Mathematics 2019, 7, 539), etc., which partially answer a question proposed by Li (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 2011, 375: 310--319).
