In the modern strict sense an E-function satisfies a nonzero linear differential equation over , has algebraic coefficients with all conjugates bounded by , and has common positive denominators making algebraic integers. Siegel's original arithmetic growth condition permits, for each , bounds of size instead. The strict and original growth formulations should be distinguished rather than asserted equivalent. Exponentials with algebraic exponent satisfy the stronger conditions and a first-order differential equation.
