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…

Given two permutable entire functions $f$ and $g,$ we establish vital relationship between escaping sets of entire functions $f, g$ and their composition. We provide some families of transcendental entire functions for which Eremenko's…

In this paper, we study the dynamics of commuting transcendental entire functions $f$ and $g$, where $g$ is of the form $af^p + b$ with $a,b \in \C$, $p \in \N$, and $a \neq 0,1$. We establish that the escaping sets, filled Julia sets, and…

Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function and let $U$ be a univalent Baker domain of $f$. We prove a new result about the boundary behaviour of conformal maps and use this to show that the non-escaping boundary points of $U$ form a set of…

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 show that there exists a hyperbolic entire function of finite order of growth such that the hyperbolic dimension---that is, the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points in the Julia set of whose orbit is bounded---is equal to two. This…

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…

If $f$ is in the Eremenko-Lyubich class (transcendental entire functions with bounded singular set) then $\Omega= \{ z: |f(z)| > R\}$ and $f|_\Omega$ must satisfy certain simple topological conditions when $R$ is sufficiently large. A model…

The Eremenko-Lyubich class of transcendental entire functions with a bounded set of singular values has been much studied. We give a new characterisation of this class of functions. We also give a new result regarding direct singularities…

Let $f$ and $g$ be transcendental entire functions, each with a bounded set of singular values, and suppose that $f$ and $g$ are affinely equivalent (that is, $g \circ \phi= \psi\circ f$, where $\phi,\psi:\C\to\C$ are affine). We show that…

Eremenko and Lyubich proved that an entire function whose set of singular values is bounded is expanding at points where its image has large modulus. These expansion properties have been at the centre of the subsequent study of this class…

C. Bishop has constructed an example of an entire function f in Eremenko-Lyubich class with at least two grand orbits of oscillating wandering domains. In this paper we show that his example has exactly two such orbits, that is, f has no…

The study of the dynamics of polynomials is now a major field of research, with many important and elegant results. The study of entire functions that are not polynomials -- in other words transcendental entire functions -- is somewhat less…

Let $f\colon\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}$ be a transcendental entire function. In 1989, Eremenko asked the following question concerning the set $I(f)$ of points that tend to infinity under iteration: can every point of $I(f)$ be joined to…

We construct an entire function in the Eremenko-Lyubich class $\B$ whose Julia set has only bounded path-components. This answers a question of Eremenko from 1989 in the negative. On the other hand, we show that for many functions in $\B$,…

Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function. The fast escaping set $A(f)$, various regularity conditions on the growth of the maximum modulus of $f$, and also, more recently, the quite fast escaping set $Q(f)$ have all been used to make…

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…

Much recent work on the iterates of a transcendental entire function $f$ has been motivated by Eremenko's conjecture that all the components of the escaping set $I(f)$ are unbounded. Here we show that if $I(f)$ is disconnected, then the set…

We consider the transcendental entire function $ f(z)=z+e^{-z} $, which has a doubly parabolic Baker domain $U$ of degree two, i.e. an invariant stable component for which all iterates converge locally uniformly to infity, and for which the…

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…
