Abstract

The Bank–Laine conjecture concerning the oscillation of solutions of second order homogeneous linear differential equations has recently been disproved by Bergweiler and Eremenko. It is shown here, however, that the conjecture is true if the set of finite critical and asymptotic values of the coefficient function is bounded. It is also shown that if E is a Bank–Laine function of finite order with infinitely many zeros, all real and positive, then its zeros must have exponent of convergence at least 3/2, and an example is constructed via quasiconformal surgery to demonstrate that this result is sharp.
