Let \(f\) be an entire function of positive finite order \(p\) on the complex plane \(\mathbb{C}\), with \(\alpha=\limsup_{r\to+\infty}\{(\log M(r,f))/(r^ \rho L(r))\}<+\infty\), where \(L\) is a slowly increasing function on \((0,+\infty)\) (the notation being as usual in the theory of entire and meromorphic functions). The paper presents three theorems each of which gives a lower estimate for \[ \sum^ p_{k=0}\limsup_{r\to+\infty}\left(\bar N(r,a_ k,f^{(k)})/(r^ \rho L(r))\right), \] and an upper estimate for (1) \(\sum^ p_{k=1}\theta(a_ k,f^{(k)})\), where \(a_ 0,a_ 1,\dots,a_ p\) are distinct complex numbers and \(a_ 0=0\). The estimates involve, among others, constants associated with the points of an ``arbitrary finite complex set \(B\) in Theorems 1 and 3 (subject to \(0\not\in B\) in Theorem 1). The upper estimates for (1) provided by Theorem 1 and Theorem 3 are finer when \(B\) is chosen as ``minimal, instead of taking ``\(\sup\) over \(B\). Actually, in Theorem 2, the term corresponding to \(a_ 0\) is omitted. This makes it interesting to compare Theorem 2 with an analogous consequence of Theorem 1.
