Generalised relative order of entire functions (Q704935)

Let \(f\) and \(g\) be entire functions and set \(F(r)= \max\{|f(z)|\mid|z|= r\}\) and \(G(r)= \max\{|g(z)|\mid|z|= r\}\). Let \(\exp^{[0]}x= x\) and \(\exp^{[m]}x= \exp(\exp^{[m-1]}x)\) for \(m\geq 1\). If \(k\geq 1\) is an integer, then the \(k\)th generalized relative order of \(f\) with respect to \(g\) is defined as \(\rho^k_g(f)= \text{inf}\{\mu> 0\mid F(r)< G(\exp^{[-k1]}r^\mu)\) for all \(r> r_0(\mu)< 0\}\). For a fixed \(g\) the authors explore this order for the sum and product of two entire functions as well as for the derivative of an entire function \(f\).
