Lyapunov exponents and related concepts for entire functions (Q1745306)

For an entire function \(f\) and an open set \(U\) intersecting the Julia set \(J(f)\) of \(f\), the rates of how fast \(\sup_{z\in U}(f^n)^\#(z)\) and \(\int_{U}(f^n)^\#(z)^2dxdy\) tend to infinity are studied. Explicit bounds for the growth rates are obtained. Here \(f^n\) is the \(n\)-th iterate of \(f\) and \(f^{\#}\) is the spherical derivative of \(f\). In addition, the growth rate of the sequence \((f^n)^\#(z)\) is studied for \(z\in J(f)\).
