Introduction Let C be te set of all finite complex numbers. Also let f be an entire function defined in te open complex plane C. Te maximum term µ f (r) and te maximum modulus M f (r) of f = a n z n on z = r are defined n=0 as µ f (r) = max ( a n r n ) and M f (r) = max z =r Received: July 2015; Accepted: February 2016 Corresponding autor f (z) respectively.

In te sequel we use te following notation: ( ) log k] x = log log k] x, k = 1, 2, 3,...and log 0] x = x. If f is non-constant ten M f (r) is strictly increasing and continuous and its inverse M f (r) : ( f (0), ) (0, ) exists and is suc tat lim (s) =. Bernal 1] introduced te definition of relative order M s f of f wit respect to g, denoted by ρ g (f) as follows: ρ g (f) = inf {µ > 0 : M f (r) < M g (r µ ) for all r > r 0 (µ) > 0} = log M g M f (r). log r Similarly, one can define te relative lower order of f wit respect to g denoted by λ g (f) as follows: λ g (f) = lim inf log M g M f (r). log r If we consider g (z) = exp z, te above definition coincides wit te classical definition 9] of order ( lower order) of an entire function f wic is as follows: Definition 1.1. Te order ρ f and te lower order λ f of an entire function f are defined as log 2] M f (r) ρ f = log r and λ f = lim inf log 2] M f (r). log r Using te inequalities µ f (r) M f (r) R R r µ f (R) for 0 r < R 8] one may give an alternative definition of entire function in te following manner: log 2] µ f (r) ρ f = log r and λ f = lim inf log 2] µ f (r). log r
SOME RESULTS ON THE GROWTH ANALYSIS... 61 Now let L L (r) be a positive continuous function increasing slowly L (ar) L (r) as r for every positive constant a. Sing and Barker 5] defined it in te following way: Definition 1.2. 5] A positive continuous function L (r) is called a slowly canging function if for ε (> 0), 1 L (kr) kε L (r) kε for r r (ε) and uniformly for k ( 1). If furter, L (r) is differentiable, te above condition is equivalent to rl (r) lim L (r) = 0. Somasundaram and Tamizarasi 6] introduced te notions of L-order for entire function were L L (r) is a positive continuous function increasing slowly L (ar) L (r) as r for every positive constant a. Te more generalised concept for L-order for entire function is L - order and its definition is as follows: Definition 1.3. 6] Te L -order f entire function f are defined as and te L -lower order λ L f of an f = log 2] M f (r) log rel(r)] and λl f log 2] M f (r) = lim inf. In view of te inequalities µ f (r) M f (r) one may verify tat R R r µ f (R) for 0 r < R 8] f = log 2] µ f (r) log re L(r)] and λl f log 2] µ f (r) = lim inf. In te line of Somasundaram and Tamizarasi 6] and Bernal 1], Datta and Biswas 2] gave te definition of relative L -order of an entire function in te following way:
62 S. K. DATTA, T. BISWAS AND A. HOQUE Definition 1.4. 2] Te relative L -order of an entire function f wit respect to anoter entire function g, denoted by g (f) in te following way { g (f) = inf {µ > 0 : M f (r) < M g re L(r)} µ } for all r > r0 (µ) > 0 = log Mg M f (r). Similarly, one can define te relative L -lower order of f wit respect to g denoted by λg L (f) as follows: λ L g (f) = lim inf log Mg M f (r). In te case of relative L -order (relative L -lower order), it terefore seems reasonable to define suitably an alternative definition of relative L -order (relative L -lower order) of entire function in terms of its maximum terms. Datta, Biswas and Ali 4] also introduced suc definition in te following way: Definition 1.5. 4] Te relative order g (f) and te relative lower order λ g (f) of an entire function f wit respect to anoter entire function g are defined as g (f) = g µ f (r) and λl g (f) = lim inf g µ f (r). In tis paper we wis to establis some results relating to te growt rates of composite entire functions in terms of teir maximum terms on te basis of relative L -order (relative L -lower order). 2. Main Results In te following we present some lemmas wic will be needed in te sequel.
