The order of Dirichlet series (Q2764293)

Consider \(f(z)=\sum^\infty_{n=0} b_ne^\lambda n^z\) \((0< \lambda_n \uparrow \infty)\), where \(\{b_n\} \subset\mathbb{C}\), \(\varlimsup(\ln n/ \lambda_n) <\infty(n \to\infty)\) and \(\lim(\ln |b_n|/ \lambda_n)=-\infty\) \((n\to\infty)\). Suppose that \(\varlimsup(\ln \ln M(x,f)x=+\infty\) \((x\to \infty)\), where \(M(x,f)= \sup\{|f(x+iy) |:y\in \mathbb{R}\}\). Then \(f(z)\) is an entire function of infinite order and there exists a function \(U(t)\) of Hiong kon-lai type such that (1) \(\varlimsup(\ln\ln M(s,f)/ \ln U(e^x))=1\) \((x\to \infty)\). The author proves that (1) holds if and only if (2) \(\varlimsup (\ln\lambda_n/ \ln U(|b_n|^{-1/ \lambda}n)]=1\) \((n\to\infty)\). He replaces \(\varlimsup\) in (1) by lim and proves the modified (1) holds if and only if (2) and additional conditions hold. These results are analogous to the classical ones.
