Theorem

Let $f: \C \to \C$ be an entire function.

Let $\omega$ be its order.

Let $\tau$ be its exponent of convergence.

Let $h$ be the degree of the polynomial in its canonical factorization.


Then:

$\omega = \map \max {\tau, h}$


Proof

By Exponent of Convergence is Less Than Order:

$\tau \le \omega$

By Hadamard Factorization Theorem:

$h \le \omega$

Thus:

$\map \max {\tau, h} \le \omega$

By Order is Less Than Maximum of Exponent of Convergence and Degree:

$\omega \le \map \max {\tau, h}$

$\blacksquare$
