Abstract.

In this note we treat the functional equation \(f(cz)=a(z)f(z)+b(z)\), where c is a constant \(|c|\ne1\), 0, and a(z), b(z) are rational functions. It is shown that no transcendental meromorphic solution of the functional equation satisfies an algebraic differential equation with rational coefficients.
