A question of Gross and the uniqueness of entire functions

Abstract

For any set S and any entire function f letwhere each zero of f — a with multiplicity m is repeated m times in Ef(S) (cf. [1]). It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the notations of the Nevanlinna Theory (see, for example, [2]). It will be convenient to let E denote any set of finite linear measure on 0 < r < ∞, not necessarily the same at each occurrence. We denote by S(r, f) any quantity satisfying .
