### Growth of solutions of an $n$-th order linear differential equation with entire coefficients

#### Abstract

We consider a differential equation $f^{\left( n\right) }+A_{n-1}\left( z\right) f^{\left( n-1\right) }+...+A_{1}\left( z\right) f^{^{/}}+A_{0}\left( z\right) f=0,$ where $A_{0}\left( z\right) ,...,A_{n-1}\left( z\right)$ are entire functions with $A_{0}\left( z\right) \hbox{$/\hskip -11pt\equiv$}0$. Suppose that there exist a positive number $\mu ,$\ and a sequence $\left( z_{j}\right) _{j\in N}$ with $\stackunder{j\rightarrow +\infty }{\lim }z_{j}=\infty ,$ \ and also two real numbers $\alpha ,\beta$ $\left( \ 0\leq \beta \alpha \right)$\ such that \ $\left| A_{0}\left( z_{j}\right) \right| \geq e^{\alpha \left| z_{j}\right| ^{\mu }}\quad$and$% \quad \left| A_{k}\left( z_{j}\right) \right| \leq e^{\beta \left| z_{j}\right| ^{\mu }}$ as $\ j\rightarrow +\infty$ $\left( k=1,...,n-1\right)$. We prove that all solutions \ $f% \hbox{$/\hskip -11pt\equiv$}0$ of this equation are of infinite order. This result is a generalization of one theorem of Gundersen $\left( \left[ 3\right] ,\text{ }% p.\text{ }418\right) .$
