Kasana, H. S. A theorem on means of an entire Dirichlet series with index-pair (p,q). (English) Zbl 0569.30005 Tamkang J. Math. 15, 205-211 (1984). For an entire Dirichlet series \(f(s)=\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}a_ n \exp (s\lambda_ n)\) where \(s=\sigma +it\), \(0\leq \lambda_ 1<\lambda_ n<\lambda_{n+1}\to \infty\) as \(n\to \infty\), the concepts of index pair, (p,q)-order, (p,q)-type etc. were introduced by the reviewer, K. Nandan and G. P. Kapoor in Tamkang J. Math. 9, 47-63 (1978; Zbl 0415.30017), ibid. 11, 67-76 (1980; Zbl 0459.30002). Using these concepts and those of generalized (p,q)-type etc. introduced by K. Nandan, R. P. Doherey and R. S. L. Srivastava in Indian. J. Pure Appl. Math. 11, 1424-1433 (1980; Zbl 0473.30020), the author obtains relations that depict the relative growth of the means \(I_{\delta}(\sigma)\) and \(m_{\delta,k}(\sigma)\) of f(s) where \[ I_{\delta}(\sigma)=\{\lim_{T\to \infty}(1/2T)\int^{T}_{-T}| f(\sigma +it)|^{\delta}dt\} \] and \[ m_{\delta,k}(\sigma)=\exp^{[p-2]}\{(1/(\log^{[q-1]}\sigma)^ k) \]\[ \times \int^{\sigma}_{\sigma_ 0}((\log^{[p- 2]}I_{\delta}(x)(\log^{[q-1]}x)^{k-1})dx/(\prod^{q- 2}_{i=0}\log^{[i]}x)\},\quad 0<\delta,\quad k<\infty. \] For the class of Dirichlet series for which \(\log^{[p-2]}I_{\delta}(\sigma)\) is an increasing convex function of \(\log^{[q]}\sigma\), the result obtained refines an earlier result of the author obtained in Commun.
