On the transcendental entire and meromorphic solutions of certain non-linear generalized delay-differential equations

Abstract The prime intention of this paper is to study the conditions under which certain non-linear generalized delay-differential equations possess a solution. In this respect, by extending and improving recent results of [5, 15], we characterize the nature of solutions. By providing relevant examples in a remark, we also show that for the uniqueness of solutions the conditions on the Borel exceptional value can not be removed. Finally, to determine explicitly all forms of the solutions of a traditional generalized delay-differential equation, we deal with the situation under the aegis of generalized c-delay-differential equations. We exhibit some examples to show that the conclusions of the theorems actually occur.
