 Weierstrass factorization theorem

A nonzero entire function can be described by its discrete zero locations and multiplicities, a product of Weierstrass elementary factors and a zero-free exponential factor. Conversely, consistent prescribed multiplicities at distinct points escaping every compact subset can be realized by choosing factor orders large enough for infinite product convergence from logarithmic tails. Repeated locations with incompatible exact multiplicities are not admissible data, and a finite accumulation of distinct zeros is excluded by the identity theorem.
