In this note, we shall study, via Nevanlinna's value distribution theory, the uniqueness of transcendental entire solutions of the following type of nonlinear differential equation: (*) L (f (z)) – p (z) fn(z) = h (z), where L (f) denotes a linear differential polynomial in f with polynomials as its co-efficients, p (z) a polynomial (≢ 0), h an entire function, and n an integer ≥ 3. We show that if the equation (*) has a finite order transcendental entire solution, then it must be unique, unless L (f) ≡ 0.
