On the composition of a prime transcendental function and a prime polynomial

Tuen-Wai Ng and Chung-Chun Yang

Abstract:

Let $f$, $g$ be transcendental entire functions and $p$, $q$ be nonlinear polynomials with deg $p \neq 3, 6$. Suppose that $f$ and $p$ are prime and $f(p(z)) = g(q(z))$, then $f=g \circ L$ and $p=L^{-1} \circ q$, where $L$ is a linear polynomial. Similar results for $p(f(z)) = q(g(z))$ are also obtained.
