Glue the two analytic functions on their overlap, where their values agree. Since , the two half-planes cover the whole complex plane. The gluing therefore defines an entire function. It is bounded outside a sufficiently large disk by the two given infinity bounds, and bounded on the remaining compact disk by continuity. The Liouville theorem then gives one common constant.
