In 1897 E. Borel proved a general theorem which implied as a special case the following result equivalent to his celebrated generalization of Picard's theorem [2]: If f1 … ,fm are entire functions such that for each, C then the functions exp f1, … , exp f/m are linearly independent over C. In 1929 R. Nevanlinna [6] extended Borel's theorem to consider arbitrary C-linearly independent meromorphic functions < ϕi, … , < ϕm satisfying < ϕ1 + … + ϕm = 1.
