A note on the parity of meromorphic functions.

Parity is an important and easy to recognise property for meromorphic functions. On the parity of meromorphic functions, Liu, Liu and Korhonen [J Math Anal Appl 512(2022):126129] obtained some meaningful results. In this paper, we investigate the parity of a meromorphic function y(z) under the hypothesis that y(z)2n-2y(z)n is even. In addition, we discuss the relationship on the parity of a meromorphic function with its q-difference polynomials and differential expressions. For instance, we consider the parity of a meromorphic function y(z) under the assumption that y'(z)/ y(z)n and y(qz)/y(z)n are odd or even functions, where n is a positive integer.
