Abstract

Let M be the set of all functions meromorphic on D={z:|z|<1}. For a(0,1], a function fM is called a-normal function of bounded (vanishing) type or fNa(N0a), if supzD(1|z|)af#(z)< (lim|z|1(1|z|)af#(z)=0). In this paper we not only show the discontinuity of Na and N0a relative to containment as a varies, which shows 0<a<1NaUBC0, but also give several characterizations of Na and N0a which are real extensions for characterizations of N and N0.
