### Growth of Meromorphic Solutions of Some $q$-Difference Equations

Guowei Zhang

#### Abstract

We estimate the growth of the meromorphic solutions of some complex $q$-difference equations and investigate the convergence exponents of fixed points and zeros of the transcendental solutions of the second order $q$-difference equation. We also obtain a theorem about the $q$-difference equation mixing with difference.
