The author studies the growth of the solutions \(f\not\equiv 0\) of the second order linear differential equation (1) \(f''+A(z)f'+ B(z)f=0\), where \(A(z)\) and \(B(z)\not\equiv 0\) are entire functions. It is well known that all solutions of (1) are entire functions, and that at least one of any two linearly independent solutions of (1) has infinite order \(\rho=\infty\) if \(A(z)\) is transzendental. The author gives a more precise estimation of the growth of the solutions of infinite order of (1) if \(\rho(A)< \rho(B)\) or \(\rho(B)< \rho(A)<1/2\).
