contents In 1985, W.K.Hayman (Bayer. Akad. Wiss. Math.-Natur. Kl. Sitzungsber, 1984(1985), 1-13.) proved that there do not exist non-constant meromorphic functions $f,$ $g$ and $h$ satisfying the functional equation $f^n+g^n+h^n=1$ for $n\geq 9.$ We prove that there do not exist non-constant meromorphic solutions $f,$ $g,$ $h$ satisfying the functional equation $f^8+g^8+h^8=1.$ In 1971, N. Toda (Tôhoku Math. J. 23(1971), no. 2, 289-299.) proved that there do not exist non-constant entire functions $f,$ $g,$ $h$ satisfying $f^n+g^n+h^n=1$ for $n\geq 7.$ We prove that there do not exist non-constant entire functions $f,$ $g,$ $h$ satisfying the functional equation $f^6+g^6+h^6=1.$ Our results answer questions of G. G. Gundersen.
