Let f(z) be an entire function of order less than 1/2. We consider an analogue of the Wiman-Valiron theory rewriting power series of f(z) into binomial series. As an application, it is shown that if a transcendental entire solution f(z) of a linear difference equation is of order χ < 1/2, then we have log M (r, f) = Lrχ(1 + o(1)) with a constant L > 0.
