Some results related to complex linear and nonlinear difference equations

In this paper, we investigate the complex oscillation problems of meromorphic solutions to some linear difference equations with meromorphic coefficients, and obtain some results about the relationships between the exponent of convergence of zeros, poles and the order of growth of meromorphic solutions to complex linear difference equations. We also study the existence of solution of certain types of nonlinear differential-difference equations, and partially answer a conjecture concerning the above problem posed by Yang and Laine (C.C. Yang and I. Laine, On analogies between nonlinear difference and differential equations, Proc. Japan Acad. Ser. A Math. Sci. 86(1) (2010), pp. 10-14).
