It is a well-known result that if a nonconstant meromorphic function $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}f$ on $\mathbb{C}$ and its $l$th derivative $f^{(l)}$ have no zeros for some $l\geq 2$, then $f$ is of the form $f(z)=\exp (Az+B)$ or $f(z)=(Az+B)^{-n}$ for some constants $A$, $B$. We extend this result to meromorphic functions of several variables, by first extending the classic Tumura–Clunie theorem for meromorphic functions of one complex variable to that of meromorphic functions of several complex variables using Nevanlinna theory.
