Meromorphic functions that partially share values with their first derivative

Abstract

We consider uniqueness results for meromorphic functions $f:{\mathbb C} \to \widehat{\mathbb C}$ such that for certain values $a\in {\mathbb C}$ the implication $f(z)=a \Rightarrow f'(z)=a$ holds, i.e. that $f$ and $f'$ share values {\it partially}. In particular, we give a result for four partially shared values.
