Abstract: | A Bank-Laine function is an entire function E such that E(z) = 0 implies that E’(z) = ±1. Such functions arise as the product of linearly independent solutions of a second order linear differential equation ω″ + A(z)ω = 0 with A entire. Suppose that $$E(z)=R(z)e^{g(z)}prod_{j=1}^m prod_{k=1}^{q_j}(e^{alpha_jz}-beta_{j,k}),$$ where R is a rational function, g is a polynomial, and the αj and βj,k are non-zero complex numbers, and that E’(z) = ±1 at all but finally many zeros z of E. Then the quotients αj/αj′ are all rational numbers and E is a Bank-Laine function and reduces to the form E(z) = P0 (eαz) eQ 0(z) with α a non-zero complex number and P0 and Q0 polynomials. |
