Tying hairs for structurally stable exponentials

From MaRDI portal





The authors discuss the topology of the Julia set for certain complex exponential maps of the form \(E_\lambda(z)= \lambda\exp(z)\) where \(\lambda\in\mathbb{C}\) [\textit{C. Bodelon} et al., Int. J. Bifurcation Chaos 9, 1517-1534 (1999)]. They deal with the case when \(E_\lambda(z)\) has an attracting periodic orbit. When the cycle is a fixed point, it is known that the Julia set is a ``Cantor bouquet, a union of uncountably many distinct curves or ``hairs [\textit{R. L. Devaney} and \textit{M. Krych}, Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 4, 35-52 (1984; Zbl 0567.58025)]. Here the authors develop an algorithm to determine which of these hairs are attached at which endpoints in the Julia set. This algorithm depends on kneading sequence associated to \(E_\lambda\). The kneading sequence is a sequence of \(n-2\) integers that specifies the topology of the basin of attraction of the attracting \(n\)-cycle (the authors assume that \(n>2\), since the period one and two cases are trivial).
