The asymptotic behavior of a Lindelöf function and its Taylor coefficients (Q790284)

This paper gives a very detailed analysis of the asymptotic behavior of the Lindelöf function \(P_{\lambda}(z)\) for all large z and of the behavior of the power series coefficients. Here \(P_{\lambda}(z)\) is the canonical product with zeros at \(z_ n=-n^{1/\lambda} (1<\lambda<\infty)\). For \(0<\lambda<1\) the function \(P_{\lambda}(z)\) is an admissible function in the sense of \textit{W. K. Hayman} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 196, 67-95 (1956; Zbl 0072.069)]. The case \(\lambda>1\) requires modifications of Hayman's method. Some of the problems of this paper were dicussed by E. W. Barnes, W. B. Ford and G. H. Hardy at the beginning of this century with results that did not agree with each other. The author's work decides between the conflicting claims.
