Application of the Euler's gamma function to a problem related to F. Carlson's uniqueness theorem

M. A. Qazi

Abstract


In his work on F. Carlson's uniqueness theorem for entire functions of exponential type, Q. I. Rahman [5] was led to consider an infinite integral and needed to determine the rate at which the integrand had to go to zero for the integral to converge. He had an estimate for it which he was content with, although it was not the best that could be done. In the present paper we find a result about the behaviour of the integrand at infinity, which is essentially best possible. Stirling's formula for the Euler's Gamma function plays an important role in its proof.

Keywords
