Abstract

It is known that a Bank-Laine function EE is a product of two normalized solutions of the second order differential equation f"+Af=0f"+Af=0 ()(\dagger), where A=A(z)A=A(z) is an entire function. By using Bergweiler and Eremenko's method of constructing transcendental entire function A(z)A(z) by gluing certain meromorphic functions with infinitely many times, we show that, for each λ[1,)\lambda\in[1,\infty) and each δ[0,1]\delta\in[0,1], there exists a Bank--Laine function EE such that E=f1f2E=f_1f_2 with f1f_1 and f2f_2 being two entire functions such that λ(f1)=δλ\lambda(f_1)=\delta\lambda and λ(f2)=λ\lambda(f_2)=\lambda, respectively. We actually provide a simpler construction of the special Bank--Laine functions given by Bergweiler and Eremenko.
