Then\newline (i) $\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{1}\pm f_{2}]\leq \max \{\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{1}],$ $\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]\}$;\newline (ii) $\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{1}\cdot f_{2}]\leq \max \{\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{1}],$ $\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]\}$;\newline (iii) If $\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{1}]\neq \sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]$, then \begin{equation*} \sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{1}\pm f_{2}]=\max \{\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{1}],\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]\}; \end{equation*}% (iv) If $\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{1}]\neq \sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]$, then \begin{equation*} \sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{1}\cdot f_{2}]=\max \{\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{1}],\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]\}. \end{equation*} \end{proposition} \begin{proof} Without loss of generality, we assume that \begin{equation*} \sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{1}]\leq \sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]<+\infty. \end{equation*}% From the definition of $(\alpha (\log ),\beta )$-order, for any given $% \varepsilon >0$, we obtain for all sufficiently large values of $r$ that% \begin{equation} T(r,f_{1})<\exp ^{[2]}(\alpha ^{-1}((\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{1}]+\varepsilon )\beta (\log r))) \label{2a} \end{equation}% and% \begin{equation} T(r,f_{2})<\exp ^{[2]}(\alpha ^{-1}((\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]+\varepsilon )\beta (\log r)))\text{.} \label{3a} \end{equation}% Since $T(r,f_{1}\pm f_{2})\leq T(r,f_{1})+T(r,f_{2})+\log 2$ for all large $% r $, we get from (\ref{2a}) and (\ref{3a}) for all sufficiently large values of $r$ that% \begin{eqnarray*} T(r,f_{1}\pm f_{2}) &<&2\exp ^{[2]}(\alpha ^{-1}((\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]+\varepsilon )\beta (\log r)))+\log 2 \\ i.e.,~T(r,f_{1}\pm f_{2}) &<&3\exp ^{[2]}(\alpha ^{-1}((\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]+\varepsilon )\beta (\log r))) \\ i.e.,~\frac{1}{3}T(r,f_{1}\pm f_{2}) &<&\exp ^{[2]}(\alpha ^{-1}((\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]+\varepsilon )\beta (\log r))) \end{eqnarray*}% \begin{eqnarray*} i.e.,~\left( 1+o\left( 1\right) \right) \log ^{[2]}T(r,f_{1}\pm f_{2}) &<&\alpha ^{-1}((\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]+\varepsilon )\beta (\log r)) \\ i.e.,~\alpha ((1+o(1))\log ^{[2]}T(r,f_{1}\pm f_{2})) &<&(\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]+\varepsilon )\beta (\log r) \\ i.e.,~(1+o(1))\alpha (\log ^{[2]}T(r,f_{1}\pm f_{2})) &<&(\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]+\varepsilon )\beta (\log r), \end{eqnarray*}% which implies that% \begin{equation*} \underset{r\rightarrow +\infty }{\lim \sup }\frac{(1+o(1))\alpha (\log ^{[2]}T(r,f_{1}\pm f_{2}))}{\beta (\log r)}\leq \sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]+\varepsilon \end{equation*}% holds for any given $\varepsilon >0$. Hence% \begin{equation} \sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{1}\pm f_{2}]\leq \max \{\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{1}],\sigma _{(\alpha (\log ),\beta )}[f_{2}]\}% \text{.} \label{4a} \end{equation} \begin{thebibliography}{99} \bibitem{4} S.
