Entire functions defined by Dirichlet series (Q2465846)

The authors study properties of the entire function \(f(s),s=\sigma+i t\) defined by Dirichlet series \(\Sigma_{1}^{\infty} b_n e^{\lambda_n s}\). These properties are the following: (1) The relation between the modulus of \(f(s)\) and the maximum term \(m(\sigma)=\max_{n}\{| b_n| e^{\lambda_n \sigma}\}\); (2) the relation between \(\ln| f(s)| \) and \(\ln M(\sigma)\), where \(M(\sigma)=\sup_{t\in R} \{| f(\sigma+i t)| \}\) is the maximum modulus of \(f(s)\); (3) the property of the pit of \(f(s)\).
