It is well known that many properties possessed by functions holomorphic and bounded in a region are also possessed by functions meromorphic and omitting three values. Noshiro [14] in 1938 and Lehto and Virtanen [12] in 1957 independently defined the notion of “normal functions” ; they and many others subsequently discovered that most properties concerning boundary behavior and value distribution acquired by meromorphic functions omitting three values in the unit disk (or more general, in a simply-connected region) are also valid properties of “normal functions” defined there. In their research on the problems of value distribution of normal functions, Lange [9], Gavrilov [5] and Gauthier [4] have discovered that functions normal in the disk are exactly those which omit three values “locally,” i.e., they do not possess any “p-sequence” (see above references). However, the definition of a function being normal in a region depends on the simply-connectedness of the region or its universal covering surface. It is thus difficult to judge if a function defined in an arbitrary region is normal.
