Since the 1980s, much progress has been done in completely determining which functions share a Julia set. The polynomial case was completely solved in 1995, and it was shown that the symmetries of the Julia set play a central role in…
We study rigidity of rational maps that come from Newton's root finding method for polynomials of arbitrary degrees. We establish dynamical rigidity of these maps: each point in the Julia set of a Newton map is either rigid (i.e. its orbit…
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 dynamics of all quadratic Newton maps of rational functions are completely described. The Julia set of such a map is found to be either a Jordan curve or totally disconnected. It is proved that no Newton map with degree at least three…
In this paper, we consider the family of rational maps $$\F(z) = z^n + \frac{\la}{z^d},$$ where $n \geq 2$, $d\geq 1$, and$\la \in \bbC$. We consider the case where $\la$ lies in the main cardioid of one of the $n-1$ principal Mandelbrot…
By means of theory group analysis, some algebraic and geometrical properties of quaternion analogs of \emph{Julia} sets are investigated. We argue that symmetries, intrinsic to quaternions, give rise to the class of identical \emph{Julia}…
In this paper, we give a family of rational maps whose Julia sets are Cantor circles and show that every rational map whose Julia set is a Cantor set of circles must be topologically conjugate to one map in this family on their…
It is known that the disconnected Julia set of any polynomial map does not contain buried Julia components. But such Julia components may arise for rational maps. The first example is due to Curtis T. McMullen who provided a family of…
It has been shown that Cantor bubble Julia sets can appear in the dynamics of polynomials and their singular perturbations. In this paper, we present a criterion that guarantees the existence of Cantor bubble Julia sets for certain rational…
We give three families of parabolic rational maps and show that every Cantor set of circles as the Julia set of a non-hyperbolic rational map must be quasisymmetrically equivalent to the Julia set of one map in these families for suitable…
We continue the study of constructing invariant Laplacians on Julia sets, and studying properties of their spectra. In this paper we focus on two types of examples: 1) Julia sets of cubic polynomials $z^3 + c$ with a single critical point;…
Given a polynomial $p$, the degree of its Chebyshev's method $C_p$ is determined. If $p$ is cubic then the degree of $C_p$ is found to be $4,6$ or $7$ and we investigate the dynamics of $C_p$ in these cases. If a cubic polynomial $p$ is…
Let $f$ be a rational map with degree $d\geq 2$ whose Julia set is connected but not equal to the whole Riemann sphere. It is proved that there exists a rational map $g$ such that $g$ contains a buried Julia component on which the dynamics…
The Fatou-Julia iteration theory of rational functions has been extended to quasiregular mappings in higher dimension by various authors. The purpose of this paper is an analogous extension of the iteration theory of transcendental entire…
We study the quasisymmetric geometry of the Julia sets of McMullen maps $f_\lambda(z)=z^m+\lambda/z^\ell$, where $\ell$, $m\geq 2$ are integers satisfying $1/\ell+1/m<1$ and $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\}$. If the free critical points…
In this paper we give a unified proof of the fact that the Julia set of Newton's method applied to a holomorphic function of the complex plane (a polynomial of degree large than $1$ or an entire transcendental function) is connected. The…
Relaxed Newton's method is a one-parameter family of root-finding methods that generalizes the classical Newton's method. When viewed as a rational map on the Riemann sphere, this family exhibits rich and subtle global dynamics that depend…
We extend results by Barnsley et al. about orthogonal polynomials on Julia sets to the case of generalized Julia sets. The equilibrium measure is considered. In addition, we discuss optimal smoothness of Green functions and Parreau-Widom…
In this article, we study the dynamics of the following family of rational maps with one parameter: \begin{equation*} f_\lambda(z)= z^n+\frac{\lambda^2}{z^n-\lambda}, \end{equation*} where $n\geq 3$ and $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}^*$. This family…
We consider the dynamics of rational semigroups (semigroups of rational maps) on the Riemann sphere. We provide proof that a random backward iteration algorithm to draw the pictures of the Julia sets, previously proven to work in the…
