Representations of entire functions of one complex variable by series and integrals (30D10) Entire functions of one complex variable (general theory) (30D20)

Review text

The author proves for an angular domain some results which are similar to those in work of \textit{J. M. Anderson} and \textit{K. G. Binmore} [Glasgow Math. J. 12, 89-97 (1971; Zbl 0237.30006)]. Let \(\varphi\) be a convex function on \([0, + \infty)\) for which \(\lim_{t \to + \infty} t^{-1} \varphi (t) = + \infty\), and \(\overline \varphi\) denote its inverse on \([t_1, + \infty)\). If \(f\) is an entire function, then its \(\varphi\)- order \(\rho\) is \(\lim_{t \to + \infty} \sup t^{- 1} \overline \varphi [\log M (e^t,f)]\) where \(M(r,f) = \max |f(z) |\), \(|z |= r\). The author shows there is an entire function \(f\) defined by a gap power series \(f(z) = \sum^\infty_{n = 0} a_n z^{\lambda_n}\) which is bounded in the angular domain \(B(a) = \{z = re^{i \theta} \mid |\theta |\leq a\) for \(0 \leq a < \pi\}\) and has finite \(\varphi\)-order at most \(\rho\) if and only if \(\lim_{r \to + \infty} \inf r^{-1} k(\varphi (r)) \geq \rho^{-1}\) where \(k(r) = \lambda (r) - {2a \over \pi} \log^+ r\) and \(\lambda (r) = \sum_{\lambda_n \leq r} (2/ \lambda_n)\) for \(r \geq \lambda_1\) and zero for \(r < \lambda_1\). The proofs are different in character from those in the Anderson and Binmore work cited and rely on a careful use of Carlemen's formula.
