The Fatou-Julia iteration theory of rational and transcendental entire functions has recently been extended to quasiregular maps in more than two real dimensions. Our goal in this paper is similar; we extend the iteration theory of analytic…

The Endpoint Theorem links the existence of a sequence (curve), without accumulation points, in a manifold to the existence of an open embedding of that manifold so that the image of the given sequence (curve) has a unique endpoint. It…

We study the iteration of functions in the exponential family. We construct a number of sets, consisting of points which escape to infinity `slowly', and which have Hausdorff dimension equal to 1. We prove these results by using the idea of…

Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function and let $A(f)$ denote the set of points that escape to infinity `as fast as possible' under iteration. By writing $A(f)$ as a countable union of closed sets, called `levels' of $A(f)$, we obtain a…

We develop techniques that lay out a basis for generalizations of the famous Thurston's Topological Characterization of Rational Functions for an infinite set of marked points and branched coverings of infinite degree. Analogously to the…

We show that an exponential map $f_c(z)=e^z+c$ whose singular value $c$ is combinatorially non-recurrent and non-escaping is uniquely determined by its combinatorics, i.e. the pattern in which its dynamic rays land together. We do this by…

We study the distribution of periodic points for a wide class of maps, namely entire transcendental functions of finite order and with bounded set of singular values, or compositions thereof. Fix $p\in\N$ and assume that all dynamic rays…

We classify transcendental entire functions that are compositions of a polynomial and the exponential for which all singular values escape on disjoint rays. The construction involves an iteration procedure on an infinite-dimensional…

Guided by classical concepts, we define the notion of \emph{ends} of an iterated function system and prove that the number of ends is an upper bound for the number of nondegenerate components of its attractor. The remaining isolated points…

We show that a continuous map or a continuous flow on $\R^{n}$ with a certain recurrence relation must have a fixed point. Specifically, if there is a compact set W with the property that the forward orbit of every point in $\R^{n}$…

We determine the exact Borel class of the points whose iterates under $\exp(z)+a$ tend to infinity. We also prove that the sets of non-escaping Julia points for many of these functions are topologically equivalent.

We prove that every wandering exposed Julia component of a rational map is to a singleton, provided that each wandering Julia component containing critical points is non-recurrent. Moreover, we show that the Julia set contains only finitely…

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…

We study the dynamics of a collection of families of transcendental entire functions which generalises the well-known exponential and cosine families. We show that for functions in many of these families the Julia set, the escaping set and…

A transcendental entire function f is called geometrically finite if the intersection of the set of singular values with the Fatou set is compact and the intersection of the postsingular set with the Julia set is finite. (In particular,…

We analyze a real one-parameter family of quasiconformal deformations of a hyperbolic rational map known as {\em spinning}. We show that under fairly general hypotheses, the limit of spinning either exists and is unique, or else converges…

In transcendental dynamics significant progress has been made by studying points whose iterates escape to infinity at least as fast as iterates of the maximum modulus. Here we take the novel approach of studying points whose iterates escape…

For a rational function $R$, let $N_R(z)=z-\frac{R(z)}{R'(z)}.$ Any such $N_R$ is referred to as a Newton map. We determine all the rational functions $R$ for which $N_R$ has exactly two attracting fixed points, one of which is an…

The escaping set of an entire function consists of the points in the complex plane that tend to infinity under iteration. This set plays a central role in the dynamics of transcendental entire functions. The goal of this survey is to…

Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function. The escaping set $I(f)$ consists of those points that tend to infinity under iteration of $f$. We show that $I(f)$ is not $\sigma$-compact, resolving a question of Rippon from 2009.
