Considering a family of rational map $ {U_{mn\lambda }} $ of the renormalization transformation of the generalized diamond hierarchical Potts model, we give the asymptotic formula of the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia sets of $ {U_{mn\lambda }} $ as the parameter $ \lambda $ tends to infinity, here \begin{document}$ {U_{mn\lambda }} = {\left[ {\frac{{{{\left( {z + \lambda - 1} \right)}^n} + \left( {\lambda - 1} \right){{\left( {z - 1} \right)}^n}}}{{{{\left( {z + \lambda - 1} \right)}^n} - {{\left( {z - 1} \right)}^n}}}} \right]^m}, $\end{document} where $ m \ge 2 $, $ n \ge 2 $ are two natural numbers, $ \lambda \in {{\mathbb{C}} } $.

We construct embeddings of Bers slices of ideal polygon reflection groups into the classical family of univalent functions $\Sigma$. This embedding is such that the conformal mating of the reflection group with the anti-holomorphic polynomial $z\mapsto\overline{z}^d$ is the Schwarz reflection map arising from the corresponding map in $\Sigma$. We characterize the image of this embedding in $\Sigma$ as a family of univalent rational maps. Moreover, we show that the limit set of every Kleinian reflection group in the closure of the Bers slice is naturally homeomorphic to the Julia set of an anti-holomorphic polynomial., Comment: Figure 1 added to illustrate the main result, and some other minor changes to the introduction

This paper continues our investigation of the dynamics of families of transcendental meromorphic functions with finitely many singular values all of which are finite. Here we look at a generalization of the family of polynomials $P_a(z)=z^{d-1}(z- \frac{da}{(d-1)})$, the family $f_{\lambda}=\lambda \tan^p z^q$. These functions have a super-attractive fixed point, and, depending on $p$, one or two asymptotic values. Although many of the dynamical properties generalize, the existence of an essential singularity and of poles of multiplicity greater than one implies that significantly different techniques are required here. Adding transcendental methods to standard ones, we give a description of the dynamical properties; in particular we prove the Julia set of a hyperbolic map is either connected and locally connected or a Cantor set. We also give a description of the parameter plane of the family $f_{\lambda}$. Again there are similarities to and differences from the parameter plane of the family $P_a$ and again there are new techniques. In particular, we prove there is dense set of points on the boundaries of the hyperbolic components that are accessible along curves and we characterize these points.

We prove fixed point results for branched covering maps f of the plane. For complex polynomials P with Julia set $$J_{P}$$ these imply that periodic cutpoints of some invariant subcontinua of $$J_{P}$$ are also cutpoints of $$J_{P}$$ . We deduce that, under certain assumptions on invariant subcontinua Q of $$J_{P}$$ , every Riemann ray to Q landing at a periodic repelling/parabolic point $$x\in Q$$ is isotopic to a Riemann ray to $$J_{P}$$ relative to Q.

In recent years, researchers have studied the use of different iteration processes from fixed point theory in the generation of complex fractals. For instance, the Mann, Ishikawa, Noor, Jungck–Mann and Jungck–Ishikawa iterations have been used. In this paper, we study the use of the Picard–Mann iteration with s-convexity in the generation of Mandelbrot and Julia sets. We prove the escape criterion for the $$(k+1)$$ ( k + 1 ) st degree complex polynomial. Moreover, we present some graphical and numerical examples regarding Mandelbrot and Julia sets generated using the proposed iteration.

The Arakelov-Zhang pairing ⟨ ψ , ϕ ⟩ \langle \psi ,\phi \rangle is a measure of the “dynamical distance” between two rational maps ψ \psi and ϕ \phi defined over a number field K K . It is defined in terms of local integrals on Berkovich space at each completion of K K . We obtain a simple expression for the important case of the pairing with a power map, written in terms of integrals over Julia sets. Under certain disjointness conditions on Julia sets, our expression simplifies to a single canonical height term; in general, this term is a lower bound. As applications of our method, we give bounds on the difference between the canonical height h ϕ h_\phi and the standard Weil height h h , and we prove a rigidity statement about polynomials that satisfy a strong form of good reduction.

A transcendental entire function is called criniferous if every point in its escaping set can eventually be connected to infinity by a curve of escaping points. Many transcendental entire functions with bounded singular set have this property, and this class has recently attracted much attention in complex dynamics. In the presence of escaping critical values, these curves break or split at (preimages of) critical points. In this paper, we develop combinatorial tools that allow us to provide a complete description of the escaping set of any criniferous function without asymptotic values on its Julia set. In particular, our description precisely reflects the splitting phenomenon. This combinatorial structure provides the foundation for further study of this class of functions. For example, we use these results in [arXiv:1905.03778] to give the first full description of the topological dynamics of a class of transcendental entire maps with unbounded postsingular set., Comment: 28 pages, 3 figures. Refined results of those in sections 2,3 and 4 of the second version of arXiv:1905.03778

For Cantor circle Julia sets of hyperbolic rational maps, we prove that they are quasisymmetrically equivalent to standard Cantor circles (i.e., connected components are round circles). This gives a quasisymmetric uniformization of all Cantor circle Julia sets of hyperbolic rational maps. By analyzing the combinatorial information of the rational maps whose Julia sets are Cantor circles, we give a computational formula of the number of the Cantor circle hyperbolic components in the moduli space of rational maps for any fixed degree. We calculate the Hausdorff dimensions of the Julia sets which are Cantor circles, and prove that for any Cantor circle hyperbolic component $\mathcal{H}$ in the space of rational maps, the infimum of the Hausdorff dimensions of the Julia sets of the maps in $\mathcal{H}$ is equal to the conformal dimension of the Julia set of any representative $f_0\in\mathcal{H}$, and that the supremum of the Hausdorff dimensions is equal to $2$.

In this paper, we define some Markov Chains associated to Vershik maps on Bratteli diagrams. We study probabilistic and spectral properties of their transition operators and we prove that the spectra of these operators are connected to Julia sets in higher dimensions. We also study topological properties of these spectra., 34 pages, 19 figures

For a quasiregular mapping $$f:{\mathbb {R}}^n \rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}^n$$ , with $$n\ge 2$$ , a Julia limiting direction $$\theta \in S^{n-1}$$ arises from a sequence $$(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty }$$ contained in the Julia set of f, with $$|x_n| \rightarrow \infty $$ and $$x_n/|x_n| \rightarrow \theta $$ . Julia limiting directions have been extensively studied for entire and meromorphic functions in the plane. In this paper, we focus on Julia limiting directions in higher dimensions. First, we give conditions under which every direction is a Julia limiting direction. Our methods show that if a quasi-Fatou component contains a sectorial domain, then there is a polynomial bound on the growth in the sector. Second, we give a sufficient, but not necessary, condition in $${\mathbb {R}}^3$$ for a set $$E\subset S^2$$ to be the set of Julia limiting directions for a quasiregular mapping. The methods here will require showing that certain sectorial domains in $${\mathbb {R}}^3$$ are ambient quasiballs. This is a contribution to the notoriously hard problem of determining which domains are the image of the unit ball $${\mathbb {B}}^3$$ under an ambient quasiconformal mapping of $${\mathbb {R}}^3$$ onto itself.

Many authors have studied the dynamics of hyperbolic transcendental entire functions; these are those for which the postsingular set is a compact subset of the Fatou set. Equivalenty, they are characterized as being expanding. Mihaljevi\'c-Brandt studied a more general class of maps for which finitely many of their postsingular points can be in their Julia set, and showed that these maps are also expanding with respect to a certain orbifold metric. In this paper we generalise these ideas further, and consider a class of maps for which the postsingular set is not even bounded. We are able to prove that these maps are also expanding with respect to a suitable orbifold metric, and use this expansion to draw conclusions on the topology and dynamics of the maps. In particular, we generalize existing results for hyperbolic functions, giving criteria for the boundedness of Fatou components and local connectivity of Julia sets. As part of this study, we develop some novel results on hyperbolic orbifold metrics. These are of independent interest, and may have future applications in holomorphic dynamics., Comment: V3: Author accepted manuscript. To appear in Ergod. Theory Dyn. Syst

For a sequence of complex parameters $(c_n)$ we consider the composition of functions $f_{c_n} (z) = z^2 + c_n$ , the non-autonomous version of the classical quadratic dynamical system. The definitions of Julia and Fatou sets are naturally generalized to this setting. We answer a question posed by Brück, Büger and Reitz, whether the Julia set for such a sequence is almost always totally disconnected, if the values $c_n$ are chosen randomly from a large disc. Our proof is easily generalized to answer a lot of other related questions regarding typical connectivity of the random Julia set. In fact we prove the statement for a much larger family of sets than just discs; in particular if one picks $c_n$ randomly from the main cardioid of the Mandelbrot set, then the Julia set is still almost always totally disconnected.

It is well-known that the Julia set of a hyperbolic rational map is quasisymmetrically equivalent to the standard Cantor set. Using the uniformization theorem of David and Semmes, this result comes down to the fact that such a Julia set is both uniformly perfect and uniformly disconnected. We study the analogous question for Julia sets of UQR maps in $$\mathbb {S}^n$$ , for $$n\ge 2$$ . Introducing hyperbolic UQR maps, we show that the Julia set of such a map is uniformly disconnected if it is totally disconnected. Moreover, we show that if E is a compact, uniformly perfect and uniformly disconnected set in $$\mathbb {S}^n$$ , then it is the Julia set of a hyperbolic UQR map $$f:\mathbb {S}^N \rightarrow \mathbb {S}^N$$ where $$N=n$$ if $$n=2$$ and $$N=n+1$$ otherwise.

We study the global picture of the metric entropy on the space of expanding Blaschke products. We first construct a smooth path in the space tending to a parabolic Blaschke product. We prove that the metric entropy on this path tends to 0 as the path tends to this parabolic Blaschke product. It turns out that the limiting parabolic Blaschke product on the unit circle is conjugate to the famous Boole map on the real line. Thus we can give a new explanation of Boole's formula discovered more than one hundred and fifty years ago. We modify the first smooth path to get a second smooth path in the space of expanding Blaschke products. The second smooth path tends to a totally degenerate map. We see that the first and second smooth paths have completely different asymptotic behaviors near the boundary of the space of expanding Blaschke products. However, they represent the same smooth path in the space of all smooth conjugacy classes of expanding Blaschke products. We use this to give a complete description of the global graph of the metric entropy on the space of expanding Blaschke products. We prove that the global graph looks like a bell. It is the first result to show a global picture of the metric entropy on a space of hyperbolic dynamical systems. We apply our results to the measure-theoretic entropy of a quadratic polynomial with respect to its Gibbs measure on its Julia set. We prove that the measure-theoretic entropy on the main cardioid of the Mandelbrot set is a real analytic function and asymptotically zero near the boundary.

The present paper is devoted to investigation of the multidimensional case of the logistic mapping on the plane to itself. In this paper we learnt the properties of the sets of Julia and Mandelbrot for some two-dimensional logistic mappings. The sets of Julia and Mandelbrot help to define asymptotical behavior of the trajectories of certain mappings. The analytical solutions of the equations for finding fixed and periodic points and the computational simulations for describing the sets of Julia and Mandelbrot are the main results of this paper.

We prove that there exist three different transcendental entire functions that can have infinite number of domains which lie in the different periodic component of each of these functions and their compositions.

We study the dynamics of a generic endomorphism f of an Oka–Stein manifold X. Such manifolds include all connected linear algebraic groups and, more generally, all Stein homogeneous spaces of complex Lie groups. We give several descriptions of the Fatou set and the Julia set of f. In particular, we show that the Julia set is the derived set of the set of attracting periodic points of f and that it is also the closure of the set of repelling periodic points of f. Among other results, we prove that f is chaotic on the Julia set and that every periodic point of f is hyperbolic. We also give an explicit description of the “Conley decomposition” of X induced by f into chain-recurrence classes and basins of attractors. For $$X={\mathbb {C}}$$ , we prove that every Fatou component is a disc and that every point in the Fatou set is attracted to an attracting cycle or lies in a dynamically bounded wandering domain (whether such domains exist is an open question).

We study the dynamics of towers defined by fixed points of renormalization for Feigenbaum polynomials in the complex plane with varying order \ell of the critical point. It is known that the measure of the Julia set of the Feigenbaum polynomial is positive if and only if almost every point tends to 0 under the dynamics of the tower for corresponding \ell. That in turn depends on the sign of a quantity called the drift. We prove the existence and key properties of absolutely continuous invariant measures for tower dynamics as well as their convergence when \ell tends to infinity. We also prove the convergence of the drifts to a finite limit which can be expressed purely in terms of the limiting tower which corresponds to a Feigenbaum map with a flat critical point, To appear in Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems

For any integers $$d\ge 3$$ and $$n\ge 1$$ , we construct a hyperbolic rational map of degree d such that it has n cycles of the connected components of its Julia set except single points and Jordan curves.

For any $ \delta >0$ we construct an entire function $f$ with three singular values whose Julia set has Hausdorff dimension at most $1=\delta$. Stallard proved that the dimension must be strictly larger than 1 whenever $f$ has a bounded singular set, but no examples with finite singular set and dimension strictly less than 2 were previously known., Comment: 53 pages, 25 figures

Diophantine approximation in dynamical systems concerns the Diophantine properties of the orbits. In classic Diophantine approximation, the powerful mass transference principle established by Beresnevich and Velani provides a general principle to the dimension for a limsup set. In this paper, we aim at finding a general principle for the dimension of the limsup set arising in a general expanding dynamical system. More precisely, let (X, T) be a topological dynamical system where X is a compact metric space and $$T:X\rightarrow X$$ is an expanding continuous transformation. Given $$y_o\in X$$ , we consider the following limsup set $$\mathcal {W}(T,f)$$ , driven by the dynamical system (X, T), $$\begin{aligned} \Big \{x\in X: x\in B(z, e^{-S_n(f+\log |T'|)(z)})\ \text {for some}\ z\in T^{-n}y_o\ {\text {with infinitely many}}\ n\in \mathbb {N}\Big \}, \end{aligned}$$ where $$\log |T'|$$ is a function reflecting the local conformality of the transformation T, f is a non-negative continuous function over X, and $$S_n (f+ \log |T'|) (z)$$ denotes the ergodic sum $$(f+ \log |T'|) (z)+\cdots +(f+ \log |T'|) (T^{n-1} z)$$ . By proposing a dynamical ubiquity property assumed on the system (X, T), we obtain that the dimensions of X and $$\mathcal {W}(T,f)$$ are both related to the Bowen-Manning-McCluskey formulae, namely the solution to the pressure functions $$\begin{aligned} \texttt {P}(-t\log |T'|)=0\ \text {and}\ \texttt {P}(-t(\log |T'|+f))=0, \text {respectively}. \end{aligned}$$ We call this phenomenon a dynamical dimension transference principle, because of its partial analogy with the mass transference principle. This general principle unifies and extends some known results which were considered only separatedly before. These include the b-adic expansions, expanding rational maps over Julia sets, inhomogeneous. Diophantine approximation on the triadic Cantor set and finite conformal iterated function systems.

We prove that there exist three entire transcendental functions that can have an infinite number of domains which lie in the pre-periodic component of the Fatou set each of these functions and their compositions.

We give a criterion to determine when two external rays land at the same point for polynomials with locally connected Julia sets. As an application, we provide an elementary proof of the monotonicity of the core entropy along arbitrary veins of the Mandelbrot set., Comment: 22 pages, 2 figures, writing polished, results unchanged.

We show that there exist real parameters $c$ for which the Julia set $J_c$ of the quadratic map $z^2+c$ has arbitrarily high computational complexity. More precisely, we show that for any given complexity threshold $T(n)$, there exist a real parameter $c$ such that the computational complexity of computing $J_c$ with $n$ bits of precision is higher than $T(n)$. This is the first known class of real parameters with a non poly-time computable Julia set., 9 pages, 1 figure. To be published in the journal Found. Comp. Math.

We show that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points of bounded orbit in the Julia set of a meromorphic map with a simply connected direct tract and a certain restriction on the singular values is strictly greater than one. This result is obtained by proving new results related to Wiman–Valiron theory.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the Mandelbrot and Julia sets by using Picard-Mann iteration procedure. Escape criteria is established which plays an important role to generate Mandelbrot and Julia sets. Also, numerous graphical pictures of these sets have been visualized and certain examples have been recognized. Presented results shows that fractal images generated by Picard-Mann iteration procedure are entirely different from those generated in Mann orbit.
