A Note on the Tumura-Clunie Theorem (Zamechanie k Teoreme Tumura-Kluni),
Abstract
In 1937, Tumura expressed the following statement: If the entire function f(z) and (f sup k)(z), k = or > 2, have no zeros, then f(z) = exp(az + b); however, its proof had important gaps. A strict proof of Tumura's theorem was recently given by Clunie, as reported in a survey by Hayman; Clunie also proved the following theorem: If f(z) is meromorphic in z not equal to infinity, and f(z) and (f sup k)(z), k = or > 2, have a finite number of zeroes and poles, then f(z) has finite order rho. In the present note the author proves a statement not contained in Clunie's result, but which, with the use of this result, will permit one to give an exact expression for rho within the assumptions of Clunie's theorem.
