Abstract

This paper is devoted to the study of the growth of meromorphic solutions of homogeneous and non-homogeneous linear differential-difference equations

i = 0 n j = 0 m A i j f ( j ) ( z + c i ) = 0 ,
i = 0 n j = 0 m A i j f ( j ) ( z + c i ) = F ,

where A i j ( i = 0 , , n , j = 0 , , m ), F are meromorphic functions and c i ( 0 , , n ) are non-zero distinct complex numbers. Under some conditions on the coefficients, we extend early results due to Zhou and Zheng.
