Pfluger-type theorem for functions of refined regular growth (Q2414353)

The asymptotic of the entire function \(f\), \(f(0)\neq0\), is investigated. Without a priori assumptions about the distribution of zeros, it is proved that if the function \(f\) of noninteger order \(\rho\) has an asymptotic of the form \(\log|f(re^{i\theta})| = r^\rho h_f(\theta)+O\left(\frac{r^\rho}{\delta(r)}\right)\), \(E\not\ni re^{i\theta)}\rightarrow\infty\), where \(h\) is the indicator of \(f\), \(\delta\) is an unbounded regularly growing function with exponent \(\tau\in[0,\min\{1,\rho\})\) and such that \[\sum_k\frac1{\delta(2^k)}<\infty,\] and \[ E=\bigcup_k\{z:|a_k-z|<s_k\},\quad \sum_{|a_k|\leq r}s_k=O\left(\frac{r}{\delta(r)}\right),\] is the exceptional set, then the counting function of zeros \(n(r,\alpha,\beta)\) and the integrated counting function of zeros \(N(r,\alpha,\beta)\) in the angle \(\{z:\alpha<\arg z<\beta\}\) have similar asymptotics for almost all \(\alpha<\beta\): \[ n(r,\alpha,\beta)=\frac{s_f(\alpha,\beta)}{2\pi r}r^\rho+O\left(\frac{r^\rho}{\sqrt[4]{\delta(r)}}\right),\quad r\to\infty\,, \] \[ N(r,\alpha,\beta)=\frac{s_f(\alpha,\beta)}{2\pi r^2}r^\rho+O\left(\frac{r^\rho}{\sqrt{\delta(r)}}\right),\quad r\to\infty\,, \] where \[ s_f(\alpha,\beta):=\tilde{s}(\beta)-\tilde{s}(\alpha),\quad \tilde{s}(\theta)=h'_+(\theta)+\rho^2\int_0^\theta h(\varphi)\,d\varphi. \] This complements results on functions of completely regular growth of \textit{P.
