Abstract:
We show that if the maximum modulus of a quasiregular mapping $f: \mathbb {R}^N \to \mathbb {R}^N$ grows sufficiently rapidly, then there exists a nonempty escaping set $I(f)$ consisting of points whose forward orbits under iteration of $f$ tend to infinity. We also construct a quasiregular mapping for which the closure of $I(f)$ has a bounded component. This stands in contrast to the situation for entire functions in the complex plane, for which all components of the closure of $I(f)$ are unbounded and where it is in fact conjectured that all components of $I(f)$ are unbounded.References
