Continuity of maximum modulus function $M(r)=\max_{|z|=r}|f(z)|$

I am looking to prove that the maximum modulus function $$M(r)=\max_{|z|=r}|f(z)|$$ is continuous on $[0, \infty)$ for $f$ an entire function. My idea was to use the representation of $f$ as a power ...

$f,g$ entire such that $f(0)=g(0)\neq 0$ and $|f(z)|\leq |g(z)|$ for all $z\in\mathbb{C}$, then $f=g$.

Question: Suppose we have functions $f,g$ entire such that $f(0)=g(0)\neq 0$ and $|f(z)|\leq |g(z)|$ for all $z\in\mathbb{C}$, then $f=g$. My attempt: Consider function $h(z)=\frac{f(z)}{g(z)}$, ...

Prove the existence of an entire function satisfying these conditions

This question was asked in an assignment that I am trying to solve. Let $f:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{C}$ be continuous. Then prove the existence of an entire function $g$ such that $|f(x)-g(x)|< 1$ ...

Is $f(z)$ entire?

I am trying to determine if the the following is entire $$f(z)= \begin{cases} e^{-z^{-4}} & z\neq0 \\ 0 & z=0\\ \end{cases} $$ My attempt: Consider $z\ne 0$. $f(z)=e^{-z^{-4}...

If $f: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}$ is continuous and analytic off $[-1,1]$ then is entire.

This is a problem from Complex Variable (Conway's book) 2nd ed. (Section 4.4) 9. Show that if $f: \mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}$ is a continuous function such that $f$ is analytic off $[-1,1]$ then $f$ is ...

If $(f(z))^2$ and $(f(z))^3$ are entire functions ; then is $f$ entire? [duplicate]

Let $f:\mathbb C \to \mathbb C$ be a function such that $(f(z))^2$ and $(f(z))^3$ are entire then is $f$ entire ? I can conclude $f$ is entire if given $f$ is continuous ; but without continuity ...
