Consider the linear differential equation \[ f+A(z)f'+B(z)f=0, \tag{1} \] where \(A(z), B(z)\not\equiv 0\) are entire functions satisfying \(\rho(B)<\rho(A).\) The following question is natural: If \(A(z)\) has no finite deficient values, does every nonconstant solution to (1) have infinite order? The authors study the growth of solutions to (1) under a condition related to this question. The main result is stated as follows: If \(\rho(B)< \rho(A)<\infty\) and \[ T(r,A)/\log M(r,A)\to 1 \tag{2} \] as \(r\to\infty\) outside a set of finite logarithmic measure, then every nonconstant solution to (1) has infinite order. By \textit{T. Murai} [Ann. Inst. Fourier 33, No. 3, 39-58 (1983; Zbl 0519.30029)], if \(A(z)\) has Fejér gaps, then (2) is valid for some exceptional set of finite logarithmic measure. Hence the same conclusion holds, if \(\rho(B)<\rho(A)<\infty\) and \(A(z)\) has Fejér gaps.
