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

Tuen-Wai Ng and Chung-Chun Yang

Vol. 193 (2000), No. 1, 131–141
Abstract

Let f, g be transcendental entire functions and p, q be nonlinear polynomials with deg p3,6. Suppose that f and p are prime and f(p(z)) = g(q(z)), then f = g L and p = L1 q, where L is a linear polynomial. Similar results for p(f(z)) = q(g(z)) are also obtained.
