Abstract:
A set is called a unique range set for a certain class of functions if each inverse image of that set uniquely determines a function from the given class. We show that a finite set is a unique range set, counting multiplicity, for non-Archimedean entire functions if and only if there is no non-trivial affine transformation preserving the set. Our proof uses a theorem of Berkovich to extend, to non-Archimedean entire functions, an argument used by Boutabaa, Escassut, and Haddad to prove this result for polynomialsReferences
