Abstract: We prove that a function, which is defined on a union of lines mathbbCE through the origin in mathbbCn with direction vectors in EsubsetmathbbCn and is holomorphic of fixed finite order and finite type along each line, extends to an entire holomorphic function on mathbbCn of the same order and finite type, provided that E has positive homogeneous capacity in the sense of Siciak and all directional derivatives along the lines satisfy a necessary compatibility condition at the origin. We are able to estimate the indicator function of the extension in terms of Siciak's weighted homogeneous extremal function, where the weight is a function of the type of the given function on each given line. As an application we prove a generalization of Helgason's support theorem by showing how the support of a continuous function with rapid decrease at infinity can be located from partial information on the support of its Radon transform.
