Complex Differential Equations [2, 6, 7, 14, 16, 19, 24, 27, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 39, 40, 42, 44, 45, 46]
In [2, 4] Malmquist's Theorem is extended to (and Yosida's Theorem is completed for) binomial differential equations w'n=R(z,w). In [33, 35] several conjectures due to Wiman, Perron and Wittich concerning the distribution of zeros of solutions of linear differential equations and fundamental sets are proven. [40, 42,45, 46] deal with Painleve's equations I, II, IV, and contain new proofs of existence of and sharp order estimates (stated by Boutroux) for the Painleve transcendents I, II, IV.
Nevanlinna Theory [1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 23, 26, 28, 29]
In [9] the Tumura-Clunie Theorem is extended from entire to meromorphic functions; [23, 29] contain a proof and extensions of Nevanlinna's Second Main Theorem for small functions. [28] contains the classification of those function triples (f,g,h) sharing four values; this also disproves a conjecture (actually a ''theorem'') of H. Cartan.
Holomorphic Dynamics [31, 36, 37, 38, 41, 43, 47, 48, 49]
[31] contains a proof of Sullivan's (actually the Cremer-Fatou) classification of periodic stable domains. In [39] the quasiconformal conjugacy classes of rational functions whose Julia sets are Jordan curves or arcs are determined.
