Abstract

In 1986, S.Y. Li and H. Xie proved the following theorem: let k≥ 2 and letFbe a family of functions meromorphic in some domainD, all of whose zeros are of multiplicity at leastk. ThenFis normal if and only if the familyFk={f(k)1+|f|k+1:f∈F}is locally uniformly bounded inD.Here we give, in the case k=2, a counterexample to show that if the condition on the multiplicities of the zeros is omitted, then the local uniform boundedness of F2 does not even imply quasi-normality. In addition, we give a simpler proof for the Li-Xie theorem (and an extension of it) that does not use Nevanlinna's Theory which was used in the original proof.
