We give an upper estimate of Petrenko's deviation for a meromorphic function of finite lower order in terms of Valiron's defect and the number p(∞, f ) of separated maximum modulus points of the function. We also present examples showing that this estimate is sharp.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
