Explicit example of an entire function with simple zeros at precisely the square roots of the positive half integers

48 Views Asked by At

I'm looking for an entire function with the property that $f(\sqrt{n+1/2}) = 0$ for $n=0,1,2,\dots$, all of which are simple zeros and $f$ has no other zeros.

I know that such functions exist and can be written as an infinite product (Weierstrass factorization). Something like

$$ f(z) = \prod_{n=0}^\infty \left( 1 - \frac{z}{\sqrt{n+1/2}} \right) \exp\left(\frac{z}{\sqrt{n}}+\frac{z^2}{2n} \right) $$

My question is: Can this function, or another function with the same zeros, be expressed in terms of known functions? My first thought was to use $\frac{1}{\Gamma(1/2-z^2)}$, but of course this also has roots at $z=-\sqrt{n+1/2},\ n=0,1,\dots$.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
