There have been many indications of a relationship between the rate of growth of an entire function and the “size” of the set, E(c), where the modulus of the function is larger than the constant, c. Theorems of this type include the classical theorem of Wiman on functions of bounded minimum modulus, the Phragmén-Lindelöf Theorem, the Denjoy-Carleman-Ahlfors Theorem, and its many subsequent improvements. These theorems can all be understood as quantitative versions of the statement that if ƒ is an entire function such that, for some c > 0, the set E(c) is ‘'small”, then the maximum modulus function M(R, f) is forced to grow rapidly with R.
