§1. The Cardinal Function of Interpolation Theory is the function

which takes the values an at the points x = n. Ferrar has recently proved

Theorem1. If are convergent, C(x)is an m-function3for

This means that C(x) is a solution of the intergral equation

Ferrar's proof deals with functions of a real variable and involves some rather difficult double limit considerations.
