Narain SrivastavaConsider the Dirichlet series
and
Let 03C3c and 03C3a be the abscissa of convergence and the abscissa of absolute convergence,
respectively,
off(s). If 0’0
= oo, O’a is alsoinfinite,
sinceaccording
to a known result([I],
p.4)
aDirichlet series which satisfies
(1.1)
has its abscissa of convergenceequal
to its abscissa of absolute convergence and thereforef(s) represents
anintegral
function.The mean value of
f(s)
is defined asWe extend this to
where k is any
positive
number.We shall obtain some of the
properties
ofm2,k(03C3)
andI2(03C3).

THEOREM 1. Let
f(s)
be anintegral function. Then, for
where k is any
positive
number.PROOF: From
(1.2)
and(1.3),
we haveFrom
(2.1)
followsand the
inequalities
follow sinceI2(x)
is anincreasing
functionof x.
We may note that if
f(s)
is anintegral function,
other thana constant, and
03B1(0

is a constant,3
THEOREM 2.
Il f(s)
be anintegral function o f
orderp(O
p~), type
i and lowertype
v, thenPROOF: From
(1.3),
we havewhere
Taking limits,
weget
Also,
from(2.1),
we have for h > 0since
I2(x)
is anincreasing
function of x.Further,
from(1.2),
we have
where
p(a)
=|aN(03C3)|e03C303BBN(03C3)
is the maximum term of rankN(a),
for Re s = a, in the series for
f(s). Therefore,
from(3.3)
and(3.4),
we
get
Taking limits,
weget
or
Since left hand side is
independent
ofh,
thereforemaking
h - 0,we get
The result

from(3.2)
and(3.5)
since forfunctions of finite order

THEOREM 3. Let
f(s)
be anintegral function.
Then16

PROOF. Since
I2(x) is
anincreasing
functionof x,
thereforefrom
(2.1),
we haveTaking limits,
weget
Also,
from(1.2),
we haveTherefore,
from(4.1)
