Dynamics of permutable transcendental entire functions

Xinhou Hua and Xiaoling Wang

Abstract

     Let $f$ and $g$ be two permutable transcendental entire finctions. We shall prove that they have the same Julia set (i.e. $J(f)=J(g)$) if the set of the asymptotic values and critical values of $f$ and $g$ is bounded. This relates to a result and on open problem of Baker in the Fatou-Julia theory. In addition, for any positive integers $n$ and $m$, we show that $J(f \circ g) = J(f^n \circ g^m)$.
