Abstract. We prove that every nontrivial solution of f'' + A(z)f' + Q(z)f = 0 is of infinite order, where A(z) is an entire function satisfying λ(A) < ρ(A) < ∞ and some restrictions, and Q(z) is a non-constant polynomial. This result gives partial solutions to a question posed by Gundersen. Related results are also given.
