 Hadamard factorization theorem

An entire function of finite order factors as its canonical zero product times the exponential of a polynomial. For order at most one and nonzero value at zero, it has the form $f(z)=f(0)e^{Bz}{\prod }_j(1-z/a_j)e^{z/a_j}$. Genus-one factors converge when ${\sum }_j|a_j{|}^{-2}<\infty$. A zero-free function of this order is therefore the exponential of an affine polynomial.
