No label defined (Q4941459)

The author generalizes the results of \textit{Q. I. Rahman} [Q. J. Math., Oxf. II. Ser. 7, 192-195 (1956; Zbl 0073.06601)] and \textit{P. K. Jain} [Yokohama Math. J. 20, 125-129 (1972; Zbl 0241.32003)] on the means of an entire function in the case when its order \(\rho\) is an arbitrary nonnegative integer. The main result reads as follows: For each entire function \(f\) of order \(\rho\) and each \(\delta\), \(1\leq\delta<\infty\), \(p\in Z_{+}\), the following limit equalities hold: \[ \varlimsup_{r \to \infty} \left[ \ln \left\{r^p (I_{\delta}^{(p)}(r)/ I_{\delta}(r)) \right\} / p \ln r \right] = \rho;\tag{i} \] \[ \varlimsup_{r \to \infty} \left[ \ln \left\{r^{\delta p} (m_{\delta}^{(p)}(r)/ M_{\delta}(r)) \right\} / \delta p \ln r \right] = \rho;\tag{ii} \] \[ \varlimsup_{r \to \infty} \left[ \ln \left\{m_{\delta}^{(p)}(r)/ M_{\delta,k}^{(p)}(r)) \right\} / \ln r \right] = \rho.\tag{iii} \] The proof of the above theorem is based on several auxiliary propositions.
