Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the uniqueness problem of differential–difference polynomials \((f^{n}(z)P(f)L_c(f))^{(k)}\) and \((g^{n}(z)P(g)L_c(g))^{(k)}\) sharing a small function under the notion of weakly weighted sharing and relaxed weighted sharing, where \(L_c(f)=f(z+c)+c_0f(z)\), P(z) is a polynomial with constant coefficients of degree m, and obtained the corresponding results, which improve and extend some recent results due to Sahoo and Biswas (Tamkang J. Math., 49, 85–97 (2018)). Some examples have been exhibited which are relevant to the content of the paper.
