Abstract

Let f be a hyperbolic transcendental meromorphic function such that the finite singularities of f−1 are in a bounded set. We show that there exists 0<s(f)[les ]2 such that

We then show that s(f)[les ]dimJ(f), the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set, and give examples of such functions for which dimJ(f)>s(f). This contrasts with the situation for a hyperbolic rational function f where it is known that dimJ(f) = s(f).
