Analytic First Integrals of Ordinary Differential Equations
A lot is known about the forward iterates of an analytic function which is bounded by 1 in modulus on the unit disk D. The Denjoy-Wolff Theorem describes their convergence properties and several authors, from the 1880's to the 1980's, have provided conjugations which yield very precise descriptions of the dynamics. Backward-iteration sequences are of a different nature because a point could have infinitely many preimages as well as none. However, if we insist in choosing preimages that are at a...
For an entire function let be the Newton function associated to . Each zero of is an attractive fixed point of and is contained in an invariant component of the Fatou set of the meromorphic function in which the iterates of converge to . If has an asymptotic representation , in a sector , then there exists an invariant component of the Fatou set where the iterates of tend to infinity. Such a component is called an invariant Baker domain.A question in the opposite direction...
