Title: Growth and value distribution of linear difference polynomials generated by meromorphic solutions of higher-order linear difference equations Authors: Yi Xin Luo (Jiangxi Normal Univ., Nanchang, China) Xiu Min Zheng (Jiangxi Normal Univ., Nanchang, China) Abstract: In this article, we investigate the relationship between growth and value distribution of meromorphic solutions for the higher-order complex linear difference equations $$ A_n(z)f(z+n)+\dots+A_1(z)f(z+1)+A_0(z)f(z)=0 \quad \text{and } =F(z), $$ and for the linear difference polynomial $$ g(z)=\alpha_n(z)f(z+n)+\dots+\alpha_1(z)f(z+1)+\alpha_0(z)f(z) $$ generated by $f(z)$, where $A_j(z),\alpha_j(z)$ ($j=0,1,\dots,n$), $F(z)(\not\equiv0)$ are meromorphic functions. We improve some previous results due to Belaidi, Chen and Zheng and others. Submitted May 24, 2023. Published December 16. 2023. Math Subject Classifications: 30D35, 39A45.
