On the distribution of unique range sets and its elements over the extended complex plane by S. Mallick

“…These new results have immense applications like classifying different subsets of C to be or not to be a unique range set, exploring the fact that every bi-linear transformation preserves unique range sets for meromorphic functions, providing simpler and shorter proofs of existence of some unique range sets, unfolding the fact that zeros or poles of any meromorphic function lie in a unique range set, in particular, identifying the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra to a more specific region and many more applications. …”
