### Growth of Solutions of Nonhomogeneous Linear Differential Equations

#### Abstract

This paper is devoted to studying growth of solutions of linear differential equations of type ${f}^{(k)}+{A}_{k-1}(z){f}^{(k-1)}+\cdots +{A}_{1}(z){f}^{\prime}+{A}_{0}(z)f=H(z)$ where ${A}_{j}\text{\,}(j=0,\ldots ,k-1)$ and $H$ are entire functions of finite order.
