Recently, C.-.C. Yang and I. Laine have investigated finite order entire solutionsfof nonlinear differential-difference equations of the formfn+L(z, f) =h, wheren≥ 2 is an integer. In particular, it is known that the equationf(z)2+q(z)f(z+1) =p(z), wherep(z),q(z) are polynomials, has no transcendental entire solutions of finite order. Assuming thatQ(z) is also a polynomial andc∈ ℂ, equations of the formf(z)n+q(z)eQ(z)f(z+c) =p(z) do posses finite order entire solutions. A classification of these solutions in terms of growth and zero distribution will be given. In particular, it is shown that any exponential polynomial solution must reduce to a rather specific form. This reasoning relies on an earlier paper due to N. Steinmetz.
