Abstract

We show that there exists a function f, meromorphic in the plane C, such that the family of all functions g holomorphic in the unit disc D for which f ∘ g has no fixed point in D is not normal. This answers a question of Hinchliffe, who had shown that this family is normal if Ĉ\f(C) does not consist of exactly one point in D. We also investigate the normality of the family of all holomorphic functions g such that f(g(z)) ≠ h(z) for some non-constant meromorphic function h.
