On the growth of solutions of certain linear differential equations. (English) Zbl 0759.34005

Suppose \(g_ j\), \(0\leq j\leq n-1\), and \(h\) are entire functions and that for some \(k\), \(0\leq k\leq n-1\), the order of \(g_ k\) does not exceed \({1\over 2}\) and does exceed the order of \(h\) and the order of all other \(g_ j\). It is shown that then every solution of the differential equation \(f^{(n)}+\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}g_ j f^{(j)}=h\) is either a polynomial or an entire function of infinite order. This generalizes a previous result of the author for second order equations.
