The Hausdorff Dimension of Julia Sets of Meromorphic Functions II (Q4487501)

Part I, cf. ibid. 49, 281-295 (1994; Zbl 0794.30023). We consider a family of transcendental meromorphic functions defined by \[ f_{p,\lambda}(z)= \lambda \sum_{n=p^2}^\infty \frac{2z}{n^{2p}-z^2}= \lambda \sum_{n=p^2}^\infty \frac{1}{n^p-z}- \frac{1}{n^p+z}, \quad p\in\mathbb{N},\;\lambda> 0. \] We show that, if \(p\geq 6\), then the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set of \(f_{p,\lambda}\) satisfies \(\dim J(f_{p,\lambda})\) \(\leq \frac{1}{p}\), for \(0< \lambda< \frac{1}{6^p}\), and \(\dim J(f_{p,\lambda})\geq 1- \frac{30\ln\ln p}{\ln p}\), for \(\frac{p^{4p-1}}{10^5\ln p}< \lambda< \frac{p^{4p-1}}{10^4\ln p}\). In future work, we use these results to show that, for each \(d\in (0,1)\), there exists a transcendental meromorphic function for which \(\dim J(f)=d\).
