Avoidance criteria for normality of quasiregular mappings

Abstract

Peter Lappan in [9] proved that for each $n\in \mathbb{N}=\{1,2,3,\dots\}$, let $f_{1,n}, f_{2,n}$ and $f_{3,n}$ be three continuous functions on $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in \mathbb{C} : |z| < 1\}$ such that for each $j=1,2,3,$ the sequence $(f_{j,n})$ converges locally uniformly to a function $f_j$ on $\mathbb{D}$. Suppose that the three functions $f_1, f_2,$ and $f_3$ avoid each other on $\mathbb{D}$. Let $\mathcal{F} =(g_n)$ be a sequence of meromorphic functions in $\mathbb{D}$ with the property that for each $n$, the four functions $g_n, f_{1,n}, f_{2,n},$ and $f_{3,n}$ avoid each other, then $\mathcal{F}$ is normal. We present here an analogue of this result in the setting of quasiregular mappings. We also obtain analogues of a few other results by Peter Lappan in [9] to quasiregular setting in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ for normal families and normal quasiregular mappings.
