Abstract
In this paper, we give estimates on partial derivatives and logarithmic partial derivatives for holomorphic functions on polydiscs. Estimates will also be utilized to characterize entire solutions of a class of partial differential equations, which gives a new form of Picard’s theorem and its higher dimensional version.
