In this article, we improve results of Langley and Whitehead on Bank-Laine functions. If E is a Bank-Laine function and F is an entire function of finite order which has the same zeros as E in a certain sector S of the complex plane and the set of Bank-Laine points of F in S has positive lower density in the set of zeros of F in S, then F can only be of a certain form. 1. Introduction An entire function E is called a Bank-Laine function if whenever Ez) = 0, we have E z) = ±1. Bank-Laine functions are closely linked to differential equations in the following way. Let Az) be an entire function and consider the differential equation 1) w + Az)w = 0 with linearly independent solutions f 1 and f 2 normalized so that the Wronskian W f 1, f 2 ) satisfies W f 1, f 2 ) := f 1 f 2 f 1f 2 = 1. Then the product of these solutions E = f 1 f 2 will be Bank-Laine. The converse of this is also true; if E is Bank-Laine, then A = E ) 2 2E E 1 4E 2 will be an entire function, since the numerator will have a double zero at any zero of E. Then E is the product of linearly independent normalized solutions of 1) see [2]). In [8], Langley proved the following theorem. Theorem 1.1. Suppose that A is a non-constant polynomial and that E is the product of normalized linearly independent solutions of 2) w + Az)w = 0. Version March 12, Author supported by EPSRC grant RA22AP.

2 2 A. Fletcher CMFT Suppose further that F is a Bank-Laine function of finite order such that all but finitely many zeros of E are zeros of F, and all but finitely many zeros of F are zeros of E. Then F = ±E. Here, the order ρ of an entire function f is defined by ρf) = lim sup r log + log + Mr, f), log r where Mr, f) = sup{ fz) : z r}. It is necessary that Az) in 2) should be non-constant. For example, sin πz Ez) = π is the product of normalized linearly independent solutions 2 πz 2 f 1 z) = cos π 2, f πz 2z) = sin π 2 of 3) w + π2 4 w = 0. However sin πz F z) = π e2πiz has the same zeros as E, is a Bank-Laine function and has finite order, but it is not true that F = ±E. A method observed by Shen [9] uses the Mittag-Leffler Theorem to show that if a n ) is a complex sequence without repetition which tends to infinity, then there exists a Bank-Laine function with zero sequence a n ). The constructed Bank-Laine function may however have infinite order, even if the sequence a n ) has finite exponent of convergence. Theorem 1.1 implies that if you make finitely many changes to the zero sequence of a Bank-Laine function E, then you do not have the zero sequence of a Bank-Laine function of finite order. Now assume that Az) in 2) is a non-constant polynomial and write 4) Az) = Cz n 1 + o1)) as z, where C 0 and n N. The critical rays are defined to be the rays argz) = θ 0 R for which 5) argc) + n + 2)θ 0 = 0 mod 2π. This yields n + 2 critical rays with angles given by 2πij argc) θ j = n + 2 for j = 0, 1,..., n + 1. If argz) = θ 0 is a critical ray and ɛ > 0 is a positive constant, then the asymptotic integration method due to Hille [6, 7]) can be applied to show that 2) has linearly independent solutions [ z ] 6) u j z) = Az) 1/4 exp 1) j i At) 1/2 dt + o1) t 0
3 ), No. 0 On Bank-Laine functions 3 for j = 1, 2, where t 0 = R 0 e iθ 0 with R 0 a large positive constant, in a sectorial region { 7) S = z : z > R 1, argz) θ 0 < 2π } n + 2 ɛ, where R 1 is chosen large enough so that 8) ψz) := z t 0 At) 1/2 dt is univalent in S. In [10], Whitehead proves the following improvement to Theorem 1.1. Theorem 1.2. Let Az) be a non-constant polynomial and let E be the product of linearly independent solutions f 1, f 2 of 2), normalized to have Wronskian equal to 1. Let A satisfy 4) and let argz) = θ 0 be a critical ray for 2) so that θ 0 satisfies 5). Assume that E has infinitely many zeros in the sectorial region S defined in 7), where ɛ is a small positive constant. Further, R 1 is chosen large enough so that u 1 and u 2, as defined in 6), have no zeros in S. Let F be a Bank-Laine function of finite order, having the same zeros in S as E. Then either F = ±E, or there exist non-zero constants A 1, A 2, B 1, B 2 such that 9) E = A 1 U 1 f 2, F = A 2 U 2 f 2, f 2 = B 1 U 1 + B 2 U 2, where U 1 and U 2 are linearly independent solutions of 2) having finitely many zeros in S. The solutions U 1, U 2 are each constant multiples of u 1 or u 2. Let X =: z n ) n N be a sequence of points in C ordered so that z 1 z 2..., with no finite limit point. We will say that a subset X I X, indexed by a subset I N, has lower density at least D in X if I {1,..., n} D o1))n as n. For example, if f is an entire function, we can consider the lower density of subsets of the zero set of f since the zeros of an entire function can have no finite limit point by the identity theorem. Remark 1.1. If f is a linear combination of u 1, u 2 defined by 6) with infinitely many zeros in S, then the zeros z j can be calculated asymptotically from 6) and z j is eventually strictly increasing. Therefore the zeros of f 1 can be ordered in a natural way, as can the zeros of f 2, recalling that f 1 and f 2 are the normalized solutions of 2). We will say that z is a Bank-Laine point of an entire function F if F z) = 0 and F z) = ±1. The improvement to Theorem 1.2 is the following. Theorem 1.3. Let A, E, θ 0, S, ɛ, R 1, u 1 and u 2 be as in the hypotheses of Theorem 1.2 recalling 4), 5), 6) and 7)), and let X be the zero set of E in S. Let F be an entire function of finite order with the following properties: F has the same zeros as E in S, the zeros of F in S are simple and there exists a
4 4 A. Fletcher CMFT subset X I of X, indexed by a subset I N of positive lower density, such that for z X I, F z) = ±1 i.e. the set of Bank-Laine points of F in S has positive lower density in the zeros of F in S). Then either: i) F = ±E; ii) there exist constants α, β C with α β and q N such that 10) E = ± U ) q 2 U 1 )αu 1 βu 2 ) U2, F = E α β)w U 1, U 2 ) where U 1 and U 2 are linearly independent solutions of 2) having finitely many zeros in S and W U 1, U 2 ) is the Wronskian of U 1 and U 2. The solutions U 1, U 2 are each constant multiples of u 1 or u 2. Further, if U 1 has a zero in C, then 11) E = ± U 1U 2 U 1 ) W U 1, U 2 ), F = ±U 2U 2 U 1 ) W U 1, U 2 ), where U 1 and U 2 are as above. Corollary 1.4. Theorem 1.3 implies Theorem 1.2. Remark 1.2. If A satisfies 4) with n an odd integer, then the order of the linearly independent solutions U 1, U 2 to 2) is n + 2)/2 see [6]) and hence not an integer. This means that both U 1 and U 2 must have infinitely many zeros see for example [3]) and so, except in the case where q = 1, β = 0, F given in 10) must have poles, recalling that U 1 and U 2 cannot share zeros), which is a contradiction since F is entire. Therefore conclusion ii) of Theorem 1.3 cannot happen when n is odd, unless q = 1, β = 0, in which case 11) implies E and F are both Bank-Laine. Assuming that n is even, case ii) can always occur. Remark 1.3. The assumption in Theorems 1.2 and 1.3 that Az) is non-constant cannot be deleted, as the following example shows. Let sin πz Ez) = π, corresponding to Az) = π 2 /4 see 3)), and F z) = e 2πiz2 Ez). Both E and F are Bank-Laine functions and F has the same zeros as E. The functions u 1, u 2 given in 6) are constant multiples of e iπz/2 and e iπz/2 respectively. Hence U 2 /U 1 is a constant multiple of e iπz recalling that U 1, U 2 are constant mupltiples of u 1, u 2 respectively). However, there is no q N such that U 2 /U 1 ) q = e 2πiz2. We conclude that we have neither F = ±E nor F satisfying 10). The proof of Theorem 1.3 relies on the following result, a special case of a result proved in [4]. Theorem 1.5. Let I N be a subset of positive lower density and let f be analytic of zero exponential type in the right-half plane Ω. Suppose that fn) Z for every n I. Then f is a polynomial. U 1
5 ), No. 0 On Bank-Laine functions 5 2. Proof of Theorem 1.3 We first note some lemmas. Lemma 2.1 is well-known and is proved in, for example, [5]. Lemma 2.2 is proved in [10], but is in any case elementary. Lemmas 2.3 and 2.4 follow from the asymptotics, see [1] or [10]. An R-set is a countable union of disks Dz j, r j ) = {z C : z z j < r j } such that z j as j and r j <. Lemma 2.1. Let f be transcendental entire of order ρ < L < M <. Let z j be the zeros of f in z > 2, repeated according to multiplicity. Then the union U of the disks Dz j, z j M ) is an R-set and f z) fz) for all z with z large and z / U. = o z L+M ) Lemma 2.2. Let ψz) be defined by 8), and recall C from 4) and S from 7) for the critical ray argz) = θ 0. Then ψz) = 2C1/2 n + 2 zn+2)/2 1 + o1)) as z in S, where the square root C 1/2 is chosen so that C 1/2 z n+2)/2 is real and positive on argz) = θ 0. The function ψ is univalent on S, for R 1 sufficiently large. Lemma 2.3. Let h 1 and h 2 be linearly independent solutions of 2), where Az) is a non-constant polynomial. Then h 1 h 2 has infinitely many zeros. Lemma 2.4. Let Az) be a non-constant polynomial and argz) = θ 0 a critical ray. Then a solution of 2) has, for each δ > 0, only finitely many zeros in S with argz) θ 0 > δ. That is, most zeros of a solution of 2) in S lie near the critical ray argz) = θ 0. Now, since E and F have the same zeros in S and the zeros of E and F are simple in S, we are able to define an analytic branch of log F/E in S. Define and G = F E 12) V = log G = log F E. Lemma 2.5. There exists M > 0 such that V z) = O z M ) as z in a sectorial region 13) S = { z : z > R 2 >> R 1, argz) θ 0 < 2π } n + 2 2ɛ.
6 6 A. Fletcher CMFT Proof. Since F is of finite order and E has finite order n + 2)/2 see [6]), it follows that G has finite order. Since G has no zeros or poles in S, we can take R 2 large enough so that S is outside the exceptional set U in Lemma 2.1. Therefore, by Lemma 2.1, in S 2 and integrating gives G z) Gz) = O z M 1 ) log Gz) = V z) = O z M ). Since E is a product of linearly independent solutions of 2), we can therefore write E = f 1 f 2, where f 1 = A 1 u 1 + A 2 u 2, f 2 = B 1 u 1 + B 2 u 2, u 1 and u 2 are the solutions to 2) given by 6) and A 1, A 2, B 1, B 2 C. By hypothesis, E has infinitely many zeros in S. A 1 and A 2 cannot both be zero, since then E 0. If exactly one of A 1 and A 2 is zero, then f 1 has no zeros in S, since u 1 and u 2 do not have any zeros in S. Since either f 1 or f 2 must have infinitely many zeros, it follows that B 1 B 2 0. Hence either A 1 A 2 0 or B 1 B 2 0. Let X be the zero set of f 1 in S. We can assume that the zeros of f 1 which are Bank-Laine points of F in S have positive lower density in X since this must be true at least one of f 1 and f 2, and if it is not true for f 1 then interchange f 1 and f 2 ). We can also assume that A 1 A 2 0. Then we write 14) E = A 1 u 1 + A 2 u 2 )B 1 u 1 + B 2 u 2 ) = C 1 u 1 1 C ) 2u 2 B 1 u 1 + B 2 u 2 ), where C 1, C 2 are non-zero constants. We now define Lz) by 15) explz)) = C 2 u 2 u 1. u 1 The zero set X of f 1 then corresponds to points where Lz) = 2πij for j Z. Using 6), it follows that for some D C, 16) Lz) = D + o1) + 2i z t 0 At) 1/2 dt, recalling that t 0 = R 0 e iθ 0 and that the integral on the right hand side of 16) is univalent in S. Note that if z S and explz)) = 1, then Ez) = 0 and so F z) = 0. Lemma 2.6. We have 17) log F z) Ez) = P where P is a polynomial. log u ) 2 u 1
7 ), No. 0 On Bank-Laine functions 7 Proof. Write ψz) = z t 0 At) 1/2 dt. Then by Lemma 2.2, ψ is univalent on { S = z : z > R 1 : argz) θ 0 < 2π } n + 2 ɛ. Without loss of generality, we can assume that θ 0 = 0. There exists δ > δ > 0 such that 18) {w : w > R 2, argw) < π δ} ψs) {w : w > R 2, argw) > π δ } for some R 2, R 2 > 0. Clearly, ψs) contains a half-plane Using Lemma 2.2 and 16), H 1 = {w : Rew) > R 2 }. 19) Lz) = D + o1) + 2i 2C1/2 n + 2 zn+2)/2 1 + o1)) = 4iC1/2 n + 2 zn+2)/2 1 + o1)) and so Lz)/2πi maps a sub-domain Ω of S univalently to a half-plane H 2 = {w : Rew) > R 3 }. Note also that Lz)/2πi)S) is contained in a set of the form {w : w D > R 2, argw D) > π δ } by 18) for some R 2 > 0 large and δ > 0 small. This implies that 20) Lz)/2πi)S) R [R 4, ) for some finite R 4. For j > R 3, we can find z j Ω such that Lz j )/2πi = j. These points z j are in the zero set X of f 1 as noted after 15). By 20), Z Lz)/2πi)S) \ H 2 ) is finite. Therefore, X\{z j } is finite. Since the Bank-Laine points of F intersected with X have positive lower density in X, we conclude that the Bank-Laine points of F intersected with {z j } also have positive lower density in {z j }. We can therefore find a subsequence z jk ) of z j ) of positive lower density in z j ) such that z jk ) are Bank-Laine points of F. Hence using 14), 15) and 16) we have that F z jk ) = 0 and F z jk ) = ±1. Since F = e V E, we have F z jk ) = e V z j k ) E z jk ) + V z jk )e V z j k ) Ez jk ) which implies that e V z j ) k = ±1. Therefore, V z jk ) Z πi for all j k I. By Lemma 2.5 and 19), we have that V and L are of polynomial growth. In particular, they are of zero exponential type and so we can apply Theorem 1.5 to see that V is a polynomial in L. We therefore see that there is a
8 8 A. Fletcher CMFT polynomial P such that we have 17), which completes the proof of the lemma. The rest of the proof of Theorem 1.3 follows the proof of Theorem 1.2 in [10], which we present for completeness. Lemma 2.7. With P the polynomial in the statement of Lemma 2.6, we have either P z) = qz + c where q Z and c is a constant, or F z) = ±Ez). Proof. The relation 17) holds by analytic continuation by taking any path in the complement of the zero sets of u 1, u 2, E and F. If P is a constant, then 17) implies that log F z) Ez) = C 1, where C 1 is a constant, and so F z) = C 2 Ez) and F z) = C 2 E z), where C 2 = e C 1. Looking at the values of F and E at a point z jk for j k I, we see that C 2 = ±1 and so F z) = ±Ez). This gives conclusion i) in Theorem 1.3 and we now assume that P is nonconstant. By Lemma 2.3, either u 1 or u 2 must have infinitely many zeros in C since they are linearly independent solutions of 2). Further, they cannot both be zero at the same point, since the Wronskian is constant and non-zero. Suppose that u 1 w 0 ) = 0, u 2 w 0 ) 0. Then we have ) u 2 z) 1 u 1 z) = O z w 0 as z w 0. Letting z w 0 along a path γ on which argz w 0 ) is bounded, then log u 2z) u 1 z) = log 1 z w 0 + O1) = log z w 0 + O1). Suppose that P z) = d m z m + d m 1 z m d 0, d m 0. Then as z w 0 along γ, we get P log u ) 2 = d m log z w 0 ) m 1 + o1)). u 1 Therefore, P log u ) 2 as z w 0 on γ. Using 17), we have F z) log Ez) u 1
9 ), No. 0 On Bank-Laine functions 9 as z w 0 on γ. There are three possible cases: i) F w 0 ) = 0 and Ew 0 ) 0 ii) F w 0 ) 0 and Ew 0 ) = 0 or iii) Ew 0 ) = 0 and F has a zero at w 0 of order p > 1. Therefore, we have log z w 0 q Z as z w 0 along γ. Note that in case i) above q is the order of the zero of F at w 0, in case ii) q is 1 and in case iii) q = p 1. We also have 21) d m log z w 0 ) m 1 + o1)) = P log u 2 /u 1 ) d m log z w 0 ) m 1 o1)) 1 as z w 0 on γ. There are two cases. a) Suppose that m > 1. Then d m log z w 0 ) m 1 + o1)) 1 = log z w 0 ) d m log z w 0 ) m o1)) q 0 = 0 as z w 0 along γ, which contradicts 21). b) Suppose that m = 1. Then 21) becomes d 1 log z w 0 )1 + o1)) 1 as z w 0 along γ. However, we also have d 1 log z w 0 )1 + o1)) = log z w 0 1 d o1)) q d 1 as z w 0 along γ, which forces d 1 = q Z. If u 1 has no zeros, then the case where u 2 w 0 ) = 0 and u 1 w 0 ) 0 runs analogously. This proves the lemma. We now assume that F z) ±Ez), so that Lemma 2.7 gives 22) log F z) Ez) = q log u 2z) u 1 z) + c, where q Z and c is a constant. Lemma 2.8. We have 23) F z) Ez) = ) q U2 z), U 1 z) where U 1, U 2 are linearly independent solutions of 2), with no zeros in S as defined in 13) and q Z +. Proof. From 22), we have either F z) Ez) = C 3 ) q u2 z) u 1 z)
10 10 A. Fletcher CMFT when q > 0 or F z) Ez) = C 3 ) q u1 z), u 2 z) when q < 0 and where C 3 is a non-zero constant. In the first case, let U 2 z) = C 4 u 2 z), U 1 z) = u 1 z), where C q 4 = C 3 and the particular q -th root will be chosen below see 24)). In the second case, let U 2 z) = C 4 u 1 z), U 1 z) = u 2 z), again with C q 4 = C 3. This yields 23). Note that the Wronskian of U 1 and U 2 is a non-zero constant, and f 1, f 2 are linear combinations of U 1 and U 2. Let w 1 be a zero of E and a Bank-Laine point of F in S. Without loss of generality, F w 1 ) = E w 1 ) = ±1. If none of the Bank-Laine points of F has the same derivative as E, consider F instead. Then 24) U2 w 1 ) U 1 w 1 ) ) q = F w 1) Ew 1 ) = 1. We now choose the q-th root of C 3 so that U 2 w 1 ) = U 1 w 1 ). Since w 1 is a zero of E, then either f 1 w 1 ) = 0 or f 2 w 1 ) = 0. By our assumption following Lemma 2.5, we may take f 1 w 1 ) = 0. Therefore f 1 and U 2 U 1 share a zero at w 1. This, however, means that f 1 and U 2 U 1 must be linearly dependent since they are both solutions to 2). Therefore, 25) E = C 5 U 2 U 1 )f 2, F = C 5 U2 U 1 ) q U 2 U 1 )f 2, where C 5 is a non-zero constant. Since f 2 is a linear combination of U 1 and U 2, we can write f 2 = αu 1 βu 2, with α β since f 1 and f 2 are linearly independent. Differentiating 25) when E w 1 ) = ±1 shows that C 5 = ±1 α β)w U 1, U 2 ), which gives 10). Further, if U 1 has a zero in C, at w 2 say, then since F is entire and U 1, U 2 cannot both have a zero at the same point, we must have q = 1 and f 2 w 2 ) = 0 by 25) and the fact that f 2 can only have simple zeros. This means that f 2 and U 1 are linearly dependent and so we have E = C 5 U 1 U 2 U 1 ), F = C 5 U 2 U 2 U 1 ). By considering the Wronskian at w 1, then since E w 1 ) = ±1, we therefore have C 5 = ±1/W U 1, U 2 ) which gives 11).
11 ), No. 0 On Bank-Laine functions Proof of Corollary 1.4 Assume that F ±E. If F is Bank-Laine, then the proof of Lemma 2.7 shows that q must be ±1 and hence F E = U 2 U 1 where U 2 = C 3 u 2 and U 1 = u 1 if q = 1, and U 2 = C 3 u 1 and U 1 = u 2 if q = 1. If U 1 has a zero, then 11) implies 9) so we just have to consider the case where U 1 has no zeros, in which case U 2 must have infinitely many zeros. First, if α = 0 in 10), this would imply that F has a zero of order 2 at a zero of U 2, which contradicts F being Bank-Laine. If β = 0, then 10) implies 9). Now assume α, β are both non-zero. By 10), 26) F = W U 1, U 2 )E + U 2 U 1 E. At a zero w 2 of E, 26) and the fact F is Bank-Laine gives ±1 = F w 2 ) = ± U 2. U 1 It follows that f 2 = CU 2 + U 1 ) and so α = β in 10). This gives 27) E = ± U 2 U 1 )U 1 + U 2 ), F = 2W U 1, U 2 ) U 2 1 U2 U 1 ) E. Let w 3 be a zero of U 2 and hence of F. Then 26) and 27) together imply that F w 3 ) = ±1/2, which contradicts F being Bank-Laine. This completes the proof of Corollary 1.4. References 1.
