Akhiezer's theorem

In the mathematical field of complex analysis, Akhiezer's theorem is a result about entire functions proved by Naum Akhiezer.[1]

Statement

Let $f (z)$ be an entire function of exponential type $τ$ , with $f (x) \geq 0$ for real $x$ . Then the following are equivalent:

There exists an entire function $F$ , of exponential type $τ /2$ , having all its zeros in the (closed) upper half plane, such that

f(z)=F(z){\overline {F({\overline {z}})}}

\sum |\operatorname {Im} (1/z_{n})|<\infty

where $z n$ are the zeros of $f$ .

It is not hard to show that the Fejér–Riesz theorem is a special case.[2]

gollark: You can make that.

gollark: I should embed subliminal anti-communist messages into APIONET MOTDs.

gollark: Over yggdrasil, actually, but that's beside the point.

gollark: Well, testbot has an encrypted connection.

gollark: Please remember that almost all APIONET links are entirely unencrypted.
