Summary.
In this paper, we will first establish a uniqueness theorem for meromorphic functions f 1, f 2, and f 3 that satisfy the functional equation f 1 + f 2 + f 3 = 1, and as applications, we give some results about the existence of meromorphic solutions of f n + g n + h n = 1 and two results related to a conjecture of R. Brück.
