A note concerning the complex oscillation and the growth of solutions for higher order homogeneous linear differential equations (Q3838366)

The authors essentially prove that under certain hypotheses for \(k\geq 2\) and for the entire functions \(A_0, \dots, A_{k-1}\), the equation \(f^{(k)}+ \sum^{k-1}_{j=0} A_j(z)f^{(j)}=0\), must have at least one solution \(f\) with the exponent of convergence of its zeros \(\lambda(f)= +\infty\). This result generalizes another one for second-order equations of the form \(f''+A f=0\) \((A(z)\) being a transcendental entire function) due to \textit{St. B. Bank} and \textit{I. Laine} [Comment. Math. Helv. 58, 656-677 (1983; Zbl 0532.34008)].
