Functions of Completely Regular Growth, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1992
Mathematics and its Applications Series, Vol. 81

This monograph deals with functions of completely regular growth (FCRG), i.e., functions that have, in some sense, good asymptotic behaviour out of an exceptional set. The theory of entire functions of completely regular growth of on variable, developed in the late 1930s, soon found applications in both mathematics and physics. Later, the theory was extended to functions in the half-plane, subharmonic functions in space, and entire functions of several variables. This volume describes this theory and presents recent developments based on the concept of weak convergence. This enables a unified approach and provides a comparatively simple presentation of the classical Levin-Pfluger theory. Emphasis is put on those classes of functions which are particularly important for applications -- functions having a bounded spectrum and finite exponential sums. For research mathematicians and physicists whose work involves complex analysis and its applications. The book will also be useful to those working in some areas of radiophysics and optics.
