Abstract

It has been observed that lacunary functions and random functions often have many properties in common (cf. [5]). The present paper has the object of showing that lacunary entire functions behave in many respects like random entire functions. Both have the property of being large except in very small neighbourhoods of their zeros and these have a uniform angular distribution.
