Abstract

We find necessary and sufficient conditions under which a finite or infinite sequence of complex numbers is the sequence of zeros of a holomorphic solution of the linear differential equation f″ + a 0 f = 0 with a meromorphic coefficient a 0 that has second-order poles. In addition, we present a criterion for all solutions of second-order linear equations to be meromorphic.
