This research is a continuation of a recent paper due to the first four authors. Shared value problems related to a meromorphic function f(z) and its shift f(z + c), where C is an element of C, are studied. It is shown, for instance, that if f(z) is of finite order and shares two values CM and one value IM with its shift f(z + c), then f is a periodic function with period c. The assumption on the order of f can be dropped if f shares two shifts in different directions, leading to a new way of characterizing elliptic functions. The research findings also include an analogue for shifts of a well-known conjecture by Bruck concerning the value sharing of an entire function f with its derivative f'. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.
