AbstractWe show that if a transcendental entire function has order zero and sufficiently small growth or has order ρ < ½ and regular growth then its set of normality has no unbounded components.

AbstractFor a transcendental entire function f, the property that there exists $$r>0$$ r > 0 such that $$m^n(r)\rightarrow \infty $$ m n ( r ) → ∞ as $$n\rightarrow \infty $$ n → ∞ , where $$m(r)=\min \{|f(z)|:|z|=r\}$$ m ( r ) = min { | f ( z ) | : | z | = r } , is related to conjectures of Eremenko and of Baker, for both of which order 1/2 minimal type is a significant rate of growth. We show that this property holds for functions of order 1/2 minimal type if the maximum modulus of f has sufficiently regular growth and we give examples to show the sharpness of our results by using a recent generalisation of Kjellberg’s method of constructing entire functions of small growth, which allows rather precise control of m(r).

This paper is concerned with the dynamics of transcendental entire functions. Let $f(z)$ be a transcendental entire function. We shall study the boundedness of the components of the Fatou set $F(f)$ under some restrictions on the growth of the function. This relates to a problem due to Baker in 1981.

AbstractSuppose that f is a transcendental entire function, $$V \subsetneq {\mathbb {C}}$$ V ⊊ C is a simply connected domain, and U is a connected component of $$f^{-1}(V)$$ f - 1 ( V ) . Using Riemann maps, we associate the map $$f :U \rightarrow V$$ f : U → V to an inner function $$g :{\mathbb {D}}\rightarrow {\mathbb {D}}$$ g : D → D . It is straightforward to see that g is either a finite Blaschke product, or, with an appropriate normalisation, can be taken to be an infinite Blaschke product. We show that when the singular values of f in V lie away from the boundary, there is a strong relationship between singularities of g and accesses to infinity in U. In the case where U is a forward-invariant Fatou component of f, this leads to a very significant generalisation of earlier results on the number of singularities of the map g. If U is a forward-invariant Fatou component of f there are currently very few examples where the relationship between the pair (f, U) and the function g has been calculated. We study this relationship for several well-known families of transcendental entire functions. It is also natural to ask which finite Blaschke products can arise in this manner, and we show the following: for every finite Blaschke product g whose Julia set coincides with the unit circle, there exists a transcendental entire function f with an invariant Fatou component such that g is associated with f in the above sense. Furthermore, there exists a single transcendental entire function f with the property that any finite Blaschke product can be arbitrarily closely approximated by an inner function associated with the restriction of f to a wandering domain.

We construct a transcendental entire function $f$ with $J(f)=\mathbb{C}$ such that $f$ has arbitrarily slow growth; that is, $\log |f(z)|\leq\phi(|z|)\log |z|$ for $|z|>r_0$, where $\phi$ is an arbitrary prescribed function tending to infinity.

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 complements the recent work of Aspenberg and Bergweiler [Math. Ann. 352(1) (2012), 27–54], in which they give conditions on entire functions in the same class with escaping sets of positive Lebesgue measure. We will construct an entire function in the Eremenko–Lyubich class to show that the condition given by Aspenberg and Bergweiler is essentially sharp. Furthermore, we adapt our idea of proof to certain infinite-order entire functions. Under some restrictions to the growth of these entire functions, we show that the escaping sets have zero Lebesgue measure. This generalizes a result of Eremenko and Lyubich.

It is shown that for arbitrary countable dense ssets A and B of the real line, there exists a transcendental entire function whose restriction to the real line is a real-valued strictly monotone increasing surjection taking A onto B The technique used is a modification of the procedure Maurer used to show that for countable dense subsets A and B of the plane, there exists a transcendental entire function whose restriction to A is a bijection from A to B.

AbstractLet f be a transcendental entire function and denote the n-th iterate fn. For n ≥ 2, we give an explict estimate of the number of periodic points of f with period n, that is, fix-points of fn which are not fix-points of fk for 1 ≤ k <n.

AbstractWe partition the fast escaping set of a transcendental entire function into two subsets, the maximally fast escaping set and the non-maximally fast escaping set. These sets are shown to have strong dynamical properties. We show that the intersection of the Julia set with the non-maximally fast escaping set is never empty. The proof uses a new covering result for annuli, which is of wider interest.It was shown by Rippon and Stallard that the fast escaping set has no bounded components. In contrast, by studying a function considered by Hardy, we give an example of a transcendental entire function for which the maximally and non-maximally fast escaping sets each have uncountably many singleton components.
