Fixed points of composite entire and quasiregular maps.
We study polynomial iterative roots of polynomials and describe the locus of complex polynomials of degree 4 admitting a polynomial iterative square root.
Combining the study of the simple random walk on graphs, generating functions (especially Green functions), complex dynamics and general complex analysis we introduce a new method for spectral analysis on self-similar graphs.First, for a rather general, axiomatically defined class of self-similar graphs a graph theoretic analogue to the Banach fixed point theorem is proved. The subsequent results hold for a subclass consisting of “symmetrically” self-similar graphs which however is still more general then...
We describe the structure of the hyperbolic components of the parameter plane of the complex exponential family, as started in [1]. More precisely, we label each component with a parameter plane kneading sequence, and we prove the existence of a hyperbolic component for any given such sequence. We also compare these sequences with the more commonly used dynamical kneading sequences.
We investigate the well known Newton method to find roots of entire holomorphic functions. Our main result is that the immediate basin of attraction for every root is simply connected and unbounded. We also introduce “virtual immediate basins” in which the dynamics converges to infinity; we prove that these are simply connected as well.
