Erdős problem 229

Let (Sn)n1(S_n)_{n \ge 1} be a sequence of sets of complex numbers, none of which have a finite limit point. Does there exist an entire transcendental function f(z)f(z) such that, for all n1n \ge 1, there exists some kn0k_n \ge 0 such that f(kn)(z)=0f^{(k_n)}(z) = 0 for all zSnz \in S_n.

Let {Sk}\{S_k\} be any sequence of sets in the complex plane, each of which has no finite limit point. Then there exists a sequence {nk}\{n_k\} of positive integers and a transcendental entire function f(z)f(z) such that f(nk)(z)=0f^{(n_k)}(z) = 0 if zSkz \in S_k.
