Abstract

In this paper, for a transcendental meromorphic function $f$ and $a\in \mathbb{C}$, we have exhaustively studied the nature and form of solutions of a new type of non-linear differential equation of the following form which has never been investigated earlier: \[f^n+af^{n-2}f'+ P_d(z,f) = \sum_{i=1}^{k}p_i(z)e^{\alpha_i(z)}, \] where $P_d(z,f)$ is a differential polynomial of $f$, $p_i$'s and $\alpha_{i}$'s are non-vanishing rational functions and non-constant polynomials, respectively. When $a=0$, we have pointed out a major lacuna in a recent result of Xue [17] and rectifying the result, presented the corrected form of the same equation at a large extent. In addition, our main result is also an improvement of a recent result of Chen-Lian [2] by rectifying a gap in the proof of the theorem of the same paper. The case $a\neq 0$ has also been manipulated to determine the form of the solutions. We also illustrate a handful number of examples for showing the accuracy of our results.
