Abstract
In this dissertation, we study the distribution of zeros of entire functions.
First, we study the reality of zeros of Mittag-Leffler functions.
If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are complex numbers with $\mathrm{Re}\ \alpha>0$, the Mittag-Leffler function $E_{\alpha,\beta}$ is defined by
\begin{equation*}
E_{\alpha,\beta} (z)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{z^k}{\Gamma{(\beta+\alpha k })}.
\end{equation*}
One of the most recent results on the zeros of the Mittag-Leffler functions is due to Popov and Sedletskii: if $\alpha > 2$ and $0 < \beta \leq 2\alpha - 1$ or if $\alpha > 4$ and $0 < \beta \leq 2\alpha$ then $E_{\alpha,\beta}(z)$ has only real zeros. We improve the result by showing that
if $\alpha\geq4.07$ and $0<\beta\leq 3\alpha$ then $E_{\alpha,\beta}(z)$ has only real zeros. %We also obtain some asymptotic results on the distribution of zeros of Mittag-Leffler functions in %the general case where is $\alpha >2$.

Second, we study the P\'olya-Wiman properties of differential operators.
Let $\phi(x)=\sum \alpha_n x^n$ be a formal power series
with real coefficients and let $D$ denote differentiation.
It is shown that for every real polynomial $f$ there is a positive
integer $m_0$ such that $\phi(D)^mf$ has only real zeros whenever
$m\geq m_0$'' if and only if $\alpha_0=0$ or $2\alpha_0\alpha_2 - \alpha_1^2 <0$'', and that if $\phi$ does not represent a
Laguerre-P\'olya function, then there is a Laguerre-P\'olya function
$f$ of genus $0$ such that for every positive integer $m$,
$\phi(D)^mf$ represents a real entire function having infinitely many
nonreal zeros.

Finally, we prove the identity
$$\sup\{\alpha\in\mathbb{R}:e^{\alpha D^2}\cos{ D}\ M^n \mbox{\ has real zeros only}\}=4{\lambda_n}^{-2},$$
where $M^n$ is the monic monomial of degree $n$, that is, $M^n (z)=z^n$, and $\lambda_n$ is the largest zero of the $2n$-th Hermite polynomial $H_{2n}$ given by
$$H_{2n}(z)=(2n)!\sum_{k=0}^{n}\frac{(-1)^k}{k!(2n-2k)!}(2z)^{2n-2k}.$$
