Abstract

In this paper we treat transcendental meromorphic solutions of some algebraic differential equations. We consider the number of distinct transcendental meromorphic solutions. Algebraic relations between meromorphic solutions and comparisons of the growth of transcendental meromorphic solutions are also discussed.
