If, in a Kleinian group \(G\), there is a parabolic fixed point \(p\), two round discs \(D_1\), \(D_2\) in \(\Omega(G)\), the region of discontinuity, externally tangent at \(p\), whose union is precisely invariant under \(G_p\), then \(p\) is a double-cusped parabolic fixed point. The extended region of discontinuity is the union of \(\Omega(G)\) and the set of double-cusped parabolic fixed points with the cusp topology. A finitely generated Kleinian group is a noded function group if it has an invariant component in the extended region of discontinuity. The author extends results on function groups to noded function groups showing, in particular, that a torsion-free noded function group is determined by its commutator subgroup.
