Information
We divide the presentation into two parts. First, we will show the background on the meromorphic solutions of difference equations. Further, we will present the classification of nonlinear difference equations, which is related to difference Riccati equations and difference Painleve equations. The open problem is the classification of second order nonlinear difference equations. Secondly, we will show the well-known result that the majority of the zeros of a given exponential polynomial are in domains surrounding finitely many critical ray. The shape of these domains is refined by showing that in many cases the domains can approach the critical rays asymptotically. Further, it is known the zeros of an exponential polynomial are always of bounded multiplicity. A new sufficient condition for the majority of zeros to be simple is found. Finally, we will discuss zeros of exponential sums related to Shapiro’s conjecture, which is still open now.
