AbstractSuppose that E is a real entire function of finite order with zeros which are all real but neither bounded above nor bounded below, such that $$E'(z) = \pm 1$$ E ′ ( z ) = ± 1 whenever $$E(z) = 0$$ E ( z ) = 0 . Then either E has an explicit representation in terms of trigonometric functions or the zeros of E have exponent of convergence at least 3. An example constructed via quasiconformal surgery demonstrates the sharpness of this result.
