We establish uniqueness theorems of L-functions in the extended Selberg class,which show how an L-function and a meromorphic function are uniquely determined by their shared values in two finite sets.This can be seen as a new solution of a problem proposed by Gross.
Let k be a positive integer,let h be a holomorphic function in a domain D,h■0and let F be a family of nonvanishing meromorphic functions in D.If each pair of functions f and q in F,f^((k)) and g^((k)) share h in D,then F is normal in D.
