Abstract: We consider transcendental entire functions of finite order for which the zeros and

Review text

The paper concerns transcendental entire functions of finite order with zeros and \(1\)-points in disjoint sectors. By a theorem of Biernacki, it is not possible for the set of all zeros of a transcendental entire function of finite order to accumulate in one direction and the set of all \(1\)-points to accumulate in another. Here by the statement that the set of \(a\)-points is accumulating in a direction, it is understood that there exists a ray such that for every open sector bisected by this ray all but possibly finite number of \(a\)-points lie in the sector. The authors present three generalizations of Biernacki's theorem. The results concern possible existence and form of entire functions with zeros and \(1\)-points in disjoint sectors. One of the results is the following. Theorem 1.1. Let \(S_0\) and \(S_1\) be closed sectors in \(\mathbb{C}\) satisfying \(S_0\cap S_1=\{0\}.\) Let \(\theta_j\) denote the opening angle of \(S_j\) and suppose that \[ \min\{\theta_0,\theta_1\}<\frac{\pi}{2}\mbox{ and } \max\{\theta_0,\theta_1\}<\pi. \] Then there is no transcendental entire function of finite order for which all but finitely many zeros are in \(S_0\) while all but finitely many \(1\)-points are in \(S_1.\) The other results also involve hypotheses concerning upper bounds for the opening angles of the sectors in question. The results are illustrated with examples showing exactness of the hypotheses.
