Let E be a compact set in the z-plane and let Ω be its complement with respect to the extended z-plane. Suppose that E is of capacity zero. Then Ω is a domain and we shall consider a single-valued meromorphic function w = f(z) on Ω which has an essential singularity at each point of E. We shall say that a value w is exceptional for f(z) at a point ζ ∈ E if there exists a neighborhood of C where the function f(z) does not take this value w.
In this paper, capacity is always logarithmic.
