Growth of solutions of second order linear differential equations with extremal functions for Denjoy's conjecture as coefficients

The classical problem of finding conditions on the entire coefficients $A(z)$ and $B(z)$ guaranteeing that all nontrivial solutions of $f''+A(z)f'+B(z)f=0$ are of infinite order is discussed. Some such conditions which involve deficient value, Borel exceptional value and extremal functions for Denjoy's conjecture are obtained.

Radial distributions of Julia sets of meromorphic functions

We consider a meromorphic function of finite lower order that has ∞ as its deficient value or as its Borel exceptional value. We prove that the set of limiting directions of its Julia set must have a definite range of measure.
