Baker's conjecture states that a transcendental entire function of order less than $1/2$ has no unbounded Fatou components. It is known that, for such functions, there are no unbounded periodic Fatou components and so it remains to show…

Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function and let $I(f)$ denote the set of points that escape to infinity under iteration. We give conditions which ensure that, for certain functions, $I(f)$ is connected. In particular, we show that…

We introduce a new technique that allows us to make progress on two long standing conjectures in transcendental dynamics: Baker's conjecture that a transcendental entire function of order less than 1/2 has no unbounded Fatou components, and…

For a transcendental entire function, a partial affirmative answer to Baker's question on the boundedness of its Fatou components is given. In addition, we have addressed Wang's question on Fej\'er gaps. Certain results about functions with…

This paper is devoted to establish sufficient conditions under which a transcendental meromorphic function has no unbounded Fatou components and to extend some results for entire functions to meromorphic functions. Actually, we shall mainly…

For a transcendental entire function $f$, the property that there exists $r>0$ such that $m^n(r)\to\infty$ as $n\to\infty$, where $m(r)=\min \{|f(z)|:|z|=r\}$, is related to conjectures of Eremenko and of Baker, for both of which order…

We consider transcendental entire functions of finite order for which the zeros and $1$-points are in disjoint sectors. Under suitable hypotheses on the sizes of these sectors we show that such functions must have a specific form, or that…

We develop a general technique for realising full closed subsets of the complex plane as wandering sets of entire functions. Using this construction, we solve a number of open problems. (1) We construct a counterexample to Eremenko's…

Given a subset $S=\{s_0, s_1\}$ of the complex plane with two points and an infinite subset ${\mathscr S}$ of $S\times {\mathbb N}$, where ${\mathbb N}=\{0,1,2,\dots\}$ is the set of nonnegative integers, we ask for a lower bound for the…

Recently Bishop constructed the first example of a bounded-type transcendental entire function with a wandering domain using a new technique called quasiconfomal folding. It is easy to check that his method produces an entire function of…

We give a general method for constructing examples of transcendental entire functions of given small order, which allows precise control over the size and shape of the set where the minimum modulus of the function is relatively large. Our…

We prove that there exist three transcendental entire functions that have infinite number of domains which lie in the wandering component of each of these functions and their composites. This result is a generalization of the result of…

We give an example of a transcendental entire function with a simply connected fast escaping Fatou component, but with no multiply connected Fatou components. We also give a new criterion for points to be in the fast escaping set.

Baker proved that for transcendental entire functions there is at most one completely invariant component of the Fatou set. It was observed by Julien Duval that there is a missing case in Baker's proof. In this article we follow Baker's…

We show that for many families of transcendental entire functions $f$ the property that $m^n(r)\to\infty$ as $n\to \infty$, for some $r>0$, where $m(r)=\min\{|f(z)|:|z|=r\}$, implies that the escaping set $I(f)$ of $f$ has the structure of…

We construct several new classes of transcendental entire functions, f, such that both the escaping set, I(f), and the fast escaping set, A(f), have a structure known as a spider's web. We show that some of these classes have a degree of…

For a transcendental entire function $f$ of finite order in the Eremenko-Lyubich class $\mathcal{B}$, we give conditions under which the Lebesgue measure of the escaping set $\mathcal{I}(f)$ of $f$ is zero. This is inspired by the recent…

For a transcendental entire function f, we study the set of points BU(f) whose iterates under f neither escape to infinity nor are bounded. We give new results on the connectedness properties of this set and show that, if U is a Fatou…

Let f be an entire function with a bounded set of singular values, and suppose furthermore that the postsingular set of f is bounded. We show that every component of the escaping set I(f) is unbounded. This provides a partial answer to a…

We introduce a new class of entire functions $\mathcal{E}$ which consists of all $F_0\in\mathcal{O}(\mathbb{C})$ for which there exists a sequence $(F_n)\in \mathcal{O}(\mathbb{C})$ and a sequence $(\lambda_n)\in\mathbb{C}$ satisfying…
