Abstract

We consider a sequence (pn)n=1(p_n)_{n=1}^\infty of polynomials with uniformly bounded zeros and degp11\deg p_1\geq 1, degpn2\deg p_n\geq 2 for n2n\geq 2, satisfying certain asymptotic conditions. We prove that the function sequence (1degpn...degp1log+pn...p1)n=1\left(\frac{1}{\deg p_n\cdot...\cdot \deg p_1}\log^+|p_n\circ...\circ p_1|\right)_{n=1}^\infty is uniformly convergent in C\mathbb{C}. The non-autonomous filled Julia set K[(pn)n=1]\mathcal{K}[(p_{n})_{n=1}^\infty] generated by the polynomial sequence (pn)n=1(p_{n})_{n=1}^\infty is defined and shown to be compact and regular with respect to the Green function. Our toy example is generated by tn=12n1Tn, n{1,2,...}t_n=\frac{1}{2^{n-1}}T_n,\ n\in\{1,2,...\}, where TnT_n is the classical Chebyshev polynomial of degree nn.

Comments

25 pages, 3 figures. Title changed as focus shifted from Kalm\'ar-Walsh sequences to more general ones. Previous results are extended. The section on Chebyshev polynomials on Julia sets cut out with a view to separate future development. Minor corrections for clarity in the final version
