### Laguerre–Pólya class

Such entire functions form the Laguerre–Pólya class, which can also be characterized in terms of the Hadamard product, namely, f belongs to this class if and only if in the Hadamard representation all z n are real, p ≤ 1, and P(z) = a + bz + cz 2, where b and c are real, and c ≤ 0.
The Laguerre–Pólya class is the class of entire functions consisting of those functions which are locally the limit of a series of polynomials whose roots are all real.
