Abstract

Given an entire function $f$ of finite order $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}$ and positive lower order $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}$, Boxall and Jones proved a bound of the form $C(\log H)^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D706},\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C})}$ for the density of algebraic points of bounded degree and height at most $H$ on the restrictions to compact sets of the graph of $f$. The constant $C$ and exponent $\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}$ are effectively computable from certain data associated with the function. In this followup note, using different measures of the growth of entire functions, we obtain similar bounds for other classes of functions to which the original theorem does not apply.
