We investigate the growth of solutions of higher-order nonhomogeneous linear differential equations with meromorphic coefficients. We also discuss the relationship between small functions and solutions of such equations. 1. Introduction and Main Results Let f z be a meromorphic function in the whole complex plane. Throughout this paper, we assume that the reader is familiar with the fundamental results of the Nevanlinna’s value distribution theory of meromorphic functions and the standard notations such as the order σ f , the exponent of convergence of zero-sequence λf , and the exponent of convergence of the sequence of distinct zeros λf . Moreover, a meromorphic function ψ z is called a small function with respect to f z if T r, ψ oT r, f as r → ∞, possible outside of a set of r with finite measure, where T r, f is the Nevanlinna characteristic function of f z. The study of oscillation of solutions of linear differential equations has attracted many interests since the work of Bank and Laine; for more details see 1. One of the main subject of this research is the growth and z
