Про уточнені порядок і нижній порядок мероморфних функцій
For a function $\Gamma(r)=\exp\left\{\displaystyle\int\nolimits_1^r\dfrac{\gamma(t)}{t}dt\right\},$ $\gamma(r)$ is a proximate order, we deduce the expression $\Gamma(r)=r^{\gamma(r)}L(r),$ where $L(r)$ is a slowly varying function on $[1,+\infty),$ i.e., $rL'(r)/L(r)\to 0$ as $r\to+\infty.$ We define the notions of proximate order $\rho(r)$ and proximate lower order $\lambda(r)$ of a function $f$ meromorphic in $\mathbb{C}$ such that either $\underline{\Delta}(D)=\liminf_{r\to+\infty}T(r,f)/D(r)>0$ and $\overline{\Delta}(H)=\limsup_{r\to+\infty}T(r,f)/H(r)=+\infty$ or $\underline{\Delta}(D)=0$ and $\overline{\Delta}(H)<+\infty,$ where $D(r)=\exp\left\{\displaystyle\int\nolimits_1^r\dfrac{\rho(t)}{t}dt\right\}$ and $H(r)=\exp\left\{\displaystyle\int\nolimits_1^r\dfrac{\lambda(t)}{t}dt\right\}.$ The obtained results reveal the incorrectness of Lemma 1 and Theorem 1 from the paper by S. H. Dwivedi [S. H. Dwivedi, Compos. Math., 22, No. 1, 39–48 (1970)]. We also generalize the statement of Lemma 2 in the cited paper as follows: If a function $\phi(r)$ is such that $r\phi'(r)/\phi(r)\to\phi_0$ as $r \to +\infty,$ then $\displaystyle\int\nolimits_1^r\dfrac{\phi(t)}{t^{1+\alpha}}dt \sim \dfrac{\phi(r)}{(\phi_0-\alpha)r^\alpha}$ for $0 \le \alpha < \phi_0$ and $\displaystyle\int\nolimits_r^{+\infty}\dfrac{\phi(t)}{t^{1+\alpha}}dt \sim \dfrac{\phi(r)}{(\alpha-\phi_0)r^\alpha}$ for $\alpha > \phi_0$ as $r \to +\infty.$
