Hayman's classical conjecture on some nonlinear second order algebraic ODEs

Abstract

In this paper, we study the growth, in terms of the Nevanlinna characteristic function, of meromorphic solutions of three types of second order nonlinear algebraic ordinary differential equations. We give all their meromorphic solutions explicitly, and hence show that all of these ODEs satisfy the {\it classical conjecture} proposed by Hayman in 1996.
