We consider a rational map f:S->S of a complex projective surface together with an invariant meromorphic two form. Under a mild topological assumption on the map, we show that the zeroes of the invariant form can be eliminated by birational…

In this article, we study the global dynamics of Halley's method applied to complex polynomials. Specifically, we analyze the structure and connectivity of the Julia set of this method. The convergence behavior, symmetry properties, and…

We show that any $(1,2)$-rational function with a unique fixed point is topologically conjugate to a $(2,2)$-rational function or to the function $f(x)={ax\over x^2+a}$. The case $(2,2)$ was studied in our previous paper, here we study the…

The existence of the Herman ring of a function adds interest and complexity to the dynamics of the function. We present a detailed and understandable summary of the core discoveries and recent developments on the Herman ring of rational and…

In this paper, we propose a new and broadly applicable root-finding method, called as the upper-crossing/solution (US) algorithm, which belongs to the category of non-bracketing (or open domain) methods. The US algorithm is a general…

Let $P: {\mathbb C} \to {\mathbb C}$ be a polynomial map with disconnected filled Julia set $K_P$ and let $z_0$ be a repelling or parabolic periodic point of $P$. We show that if the connected component of $K_P$ containing $z_0$ is…

Adopting the approach of [7] we study rational function carrying invariant line fields on the Julia set. In particular, we show that under certain weak conditions all possible measurable invariant line fields of a rational function on its…

For each prime number $p$, the dynamical behavior of the square mapping on the ring $\mathbb{Z}_p$ of $p$-adic integers is studied. For $p=2$, there are only attracting fixed points with their attracting basins. For $p\geq 3$, there are a…

Let p be a polynomial in one complex variable. Smale's mean value conjecture estimates |p'(z)| in terms of the gradient of a chord from (z, p(z)) to some stationary point on the graph of $p$. The conjecture does not immediately generalise…

A theorem of Ritt states the a linearizer of a holomorphic function at a repelling fixed point is periodic only if the holomorphic map is conjugate to a power of $z$, a Chebyshev polynomial or a Latt\`es map. The converse, except for some…

We reconsider the theory of Lagrange interpolation polynomials with multiple interpolation points and apply it to linear algebra. For instance, $A$ be a linear operator satisfying a degree $n$ polynomial equation $P(A)=0$. One can see that…

Given a polynomial or a rational map f we associate to it a space of maps. We introduce local coordinates in this space, which are essentially the set of critical values of the map. Then we consider an arbitrary periodic orbit of f with…

We collect experimental evidence for several propositions, including the following: (1) For each Riemann zero $\rho$ (trivial or nontrivial) and each zeta fixed point $\psi$ there is a nearly logarithmic spiral $s_{\rho, \psi}$ with center…

In our earlier paper [A square root map on Sturmian words, Electron. J. Combin. 24.1 (2017)], we introduced a symbolic square root map. Every optimal squareful infinite word $s$ contains exactly six minimal squares and can be written as a…

We prove model completeness for the theory of addition and the Frobenius map for certain subrings of rational functions in positive characteristic. More precisely: Let $p$ be a prime number, $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ the prime field with $p$…

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…

In this second article of the series we study holomorphic families of generic rational matrix functions parameterized by the pole and zero loci. In particular, the isoprincipal deformations of generic rational matrix functions are proved to…

We discuss in detail the dynamics of maps $z\mapsto ae^z+be^{-z}$ for which both critical orbits are strictly preperiodic. The points which converge to $\infty$ under iteration contain a set $R$ consisting of uncountably many curves called…

We investigate solutions to the functional equation $f(f(x)) = e^x$, which can be interpreted as the problem of finding a half iterate of the exponential map. While no elementary solution exists, we construct and analyze non-elementary…

The Fatou-Julia theory for rational functions has been extended both to transcendental meromorphic functions and more recently to several different types of quasiregular mappings in higher dimensions. We extend the iterative theory to…
