Abstract

Let f be a nonconstant entire function and let S = {a, b, c}, where a, b and c are distinct complex numbers. If E(S, f) = E(S, f'), then either (i) f = Ce z ; or (ii) f(z) = Ce z (a+b+c), (2a-b-c)(2b-c-a)(2c-a-b) = 0; or (iii) f(z) = Ce (a+b+c), 2 +c 2 -ab-bc-ca = 0, where C is a nonzero constant.
