[For the entire collection see Zbl 0752.00059.] Let \(f\) be a characteristic function, let \(Q(z)=\sum^ n_{j=0}q_ jz^ j\), \(n\geq 3\), be a polynomial. By the well-known Marcinkiewicz theorem, if \(f(z)=\exp(Q(z))\), then \(q_ 3=\cdots=q_ n=0\). \textit{N. A. Sapogov} [J. Sov. Math. 17, 2289-2306 (1981), translation from Zap. Nauchn. Semin. Leningr. Otd. Mat. Inst. Steklova 87, 104-124 (1979; Zbl 0417.60022) and ibid. 20, 2235-2237 (1982), resp. ibid. 85, 193-196 (1979; Zbl 0417.60023)] posed the following problem of the stability of that theorem. Suppose, that \(| f(z)-\exp(Q(z))|<\varepsilon\), \(z\in R\). Estimate the coefficients \(q_ 3,\dots,q_ n\) in the terms of \(\varepsilon\) in such a way that the estimations tend to zero as \(\varepsilon\to 0\). The first estimations of that kind were obtained by Sapogov in 1979, the refinements were obtained by \textit{L. B. Golinskij} [J. Sov. Math. 40, No. 4, 467-481 (1988), translation from Probl. Ustojch. Stokhasticheskikh Modelej 1985, 25-42 (1985; Zbl 0606.60026)]. The authors consider the Sapogov problem in the more general form provided that \(Q\) is an entire function at most of order one and minimal type. Nevertheless, the estimations obtained are more precise than those known previously even in the polynomial case.
