Entire functions with prescribed singular values

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We introduce a new class of entire functions mathcalE which consists of all F0inmathcalO(mathbbC) for which there exists a sequence (Fn)inmathcalO(mathbbC) and a sequence (lambdan)inmathbbC satisfying Fn(z)=lambdan+1eFn+1(z) for all ngeq0. This new class is closed under the composition and its is dense in the space of all non-vanishing entire functions. We prove that every closed set VsubsetmathbbC containing the origin and at least one more point is the set of singular values of some locally univalent function in mathcalE, hence this new class has non-trivial intersection with both the Speiser class and the Eremenko-Lyubich class of entire functions. As a consequence we provide a new proof of an old result by Heins which states that every closed set VsubsetmathbbC is the set of singular values of some locally univalent entire function. The novelty of our construction is that these functions are obtained as a uniform limit of a sequence of entire functions, the process under which the set of singular values is not stable. Finally we show that the class mathcalE contains functions with an empty Fatou set and also functions whose Fatou set is non-empty.
