Abstract
The dynamics of one parameter family of transcendental meromorphic functions
, for λ >
0
, a fix μ
0
>0 and
, that have rational Schwarzian derivatives, is investigated in the present article. A computationally useful characterization of the Julia set of h
λ
(z) as complement of the basin of attraction of an attracting real fixed point of h
λ
(z) is proved and applied for computer generation of the images of the Julia sets of h
λ
(z). It is observed that for functions in our family bifurcations in the dynamics occur at three real parameter values, while for the family of functions λ tan z investigated in [Devaney, R. L., and Keen, L., 1989, Dynamics of meromorphic maps: Maps with polynomial schwarzian derivative. Annales Scientifiques de l'Écol1 Noemale Supérieure, 22(4), 55-79.], bifurcation in the dynamics occurs at just one real parameter value. Further, it is found that explosion in the Julia sets of h
λ
(z) occurs for certain ranges of parameter values. Our results found here are compared with recent results in [Devaney, R. L., and Keen, L., 1989, Dynamics of meromorphic maps: Maps with polynomial schwarzian derivative. Annales Scientifiques de l'Écol1 Normale Supérieure, 22(4), 55-79.; Devaney, R.
