The Eremenko-Lyubich class B consists of all transcendental meromorphic functions for which the set of finite critical and asymptotic values of f is bounded. It is shown that if f is in B and of finite order of growth, if infinity is not an asymptotic value of f and if the multiplicities of the poles of f are uniformly bounded, then the Hausdorff dimension of I(f) is strictly smaller than 2. In fact, we give a sharp bound for the Hausdorff dimension of I(f) in terms of the order of f and the bound for the multiplicities of the poles. If f satisfies the above hypotheses but is of infinite order, then the area of I(f) is zero. This result does not hold without a restriction on the multiplicities of the poles.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-01-20T10:12:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37F10", "30D05", "30D15" ], "keywords": [ "hausdorff dimension", "escaping set", "transcendental meromorphic function", "asymptotic value", "multiplicities" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AMS", "journal": "Trans.
