Abstract
We introduce the notions of Ritt order and type to functions
defined by the series ∑n=1∞fn(σ+iτ0)exp(−sλn), s=σ+iτ,(σ,τ)∈R×R (*) indexed by τ0 on R, where (λn)1∞ is a D-sequence and (fn)1∞ is a sequence of entire functions of bounded index with at most a finite number of zeros. By definition, the series are BE-Dirichletian elements. The notions of order and type of functions, defined by B-Dirichletian elements, are considered in [3, 4]. In this paper, using a technique similar to that used by M. Blambert and M. Berland [6], we prove the same properties of Ritt order and type for these functions.
