Random iteration of analytic maps

From MaRDI portal





Let \((f_n)\) be a sequence of functions mapping a set \(X\) into itself. This paper is concerned with the behaviour of the compositions \(f_1 \circ f_2 \circ \dots \circ f_n\) as \(n\rightarrow \infty.\) In particular, the authors study the case where \(D\) is a domain in the complex plane and where the \(f_k\) are holomorphic. Here, we mention only one result: If \(D\) is hyperbolic, if \((z_n)\) is a sequence in \(D\) which meets every hyperbolic disk of some fixed radius, and if \(f_k(z)\neq z_j\) for all \(j,k\), and \(z\in D,\) then any limit function of \(f_1 \circ f_2 \circ\dots \circ f_n\) is constant. Furthermore, if \(f_n(z_0)\) lies in some compact subset of \(D\) for some \(z_0\in D,\) then \(f_1 \circ f_2 \circ \dots \circ f_n\) converges to a constant function. The problem is also discussed for functions of several complex variables.
