Extract

1·1. Let f (z) be an integral function of order ρ, and let

It is well known that, if ρ < 1,

This result was first conjectured by Littlewood, who proved it with cos 2πρ in place of cosπρ; it was afterwards proved independently by Wiman and Valiron about the same time. Many other authors have written on the subject, considering among other things the set of valves of r for which m (r) is comparatively large.
