We iterate the Weierstrass elliptic ℘ function in order to understand the dependence of the dynamics on the underlying period lattice L. We focus on square lattices and use the holomorphic dependence on the classical invariants (g2, g3) = (g2, 0) to show that in parameter space (g2-space) one sees both quadratic-like attracting orbit behavior and pre-pole dynamics. In the case of pre-pole param...

The Binet formula provides a mechanism for the Fibonacci numbers to be viewed as a function of a complex variable. The Binet formula may be generalized by using other bases and multiplicative parameters that also give functions of a complex variable. Thus, filled-in Julia sets that exhibit escape time may be constructed. Moreover, these functions have computable critical points and hence we can...

The fractal behaviors of the complex dissipative standard system are discussed in this paper. By using the boundedness of the forward and backward orbits, Julia set of the system is introduced and visualization of Julia set is also given. Then a controller is designed to achieve Julia set shrinking or expanding with the changing of the control parameter. And synchronization of two different Jul...

In this paper, a class of complex time-delay rational map is studied by analyzing the fractal and dynamical properties of its corresponding Julia sets (CTRM-Julia sets for short). By utilizing these given properties, a hybrid control method which contains both state feedback and parameters perturbation is applied to achieve the boundary control of CTRM-Julia set. Moreover, the synchronization o...

It has been known since Julia that polynomials commuting under composition have the same Julia set. More recently in the works of Baker and Eremenko, Fernández, and Beardon, results were given on the converse question: When do two polynomials have the same Julia set? We give a complete answer to this question and show the exact relation between the two problems of polynomials with the same Juli...

We show that if the Julia set J(f) of a rational function f is invariant under translation by one and infinity is a periodic or preperiodic point for f , then J(f) must either be a line or the Riemann sphere.

We consider the completely positive map on the Toeplitz operator system given by conjugation by a composition operator; that is, we analyze operators of the form C∗ φTfCφ We prove that every such operator is weakly asymptotically Toeplitz, and compute its asymptotic symbol in terms of the Aleksandrov-Clark measures for φ. When φ is an inner function, this operator is Toeplitz, and we show under...

If the preimage of a four-point set under a meromorphic function belongs to the real line then the image of the real line is contained in a circle in the Riemann sphere. We include an application of this result to holomorphic dynamics: if the Julia set of a rational function is contained in a smooth curve then it is contained in a circle. If the full preimage of a two-point set under a rational...

In this article, we develop the Yoccoz puzzle technique to study a family of rational maps termed McMullen maps. We show that the boundary of the immediate basin of infinity is always a Jordan curve if it is connected. This gives a positive answer to the question of Devaney. Higher regularity of this boundary is obtained in almost all cases. We show that the boundary is a quasi-circle if it con...
