Product Description: The cyclic behavior of a composition operator is closely tied to the dynamical behavior of its inducing map. Based on analysis of fixed-point and orbital properties of inducing maps, Bourdon and Shapiro show that composition operators exhibit strikingly diverse types of cyclic behavior...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: The study of composition operators links some of the most basic questions you can ask about linear operators with beautiful classical results from analytic-function theory. The process invests old theorems with new mean­ ings, and bestows upon functional analysis an intriguing class of concrete linear operators...read more
