Abstract
This paper establishes a version of Nevanlinna theory based on Askey–Wilson divided difference operator for meromorphic functions of finite logarithmic order in the complex plane C. A second main theorem that we have derived allows us to define an Askey–Wilson type Nevanlinna deficiency which gives a new interpretation that one should regard many important infinite products arising from the study of basic hypergeometric series as zero/pole-scarce. That is, their zeros/poles are indeed deficient in the sense of difference Nevanlinna theory. A natural consequence is a version of Askey–Wilson type Picard theorem. We also give an alternative and self-contained characterisation of the kernel functions of the Askey–Wilson operator. In addition we have established a version of unicity theorem in the sense of Askey–Wilson. This paper concludes with an application to difference equations generalising the Askey–Wilson second-order divided difference equation.
