Dynamics of Iterations of the Newton Map of sin(<i>z</i>)

Abstract

The dynamical systems of trigonometric functions are explored, with a focus on sz=sin(z) and the fractal image created by iterating the Newton map, Fs(z), of s(z). The basins of attraction created from iterating Fs(z) are analyzed, and some bounds are determined for the primary basins of attraction. We further prove x and y-axis symmetry of the Newton map as well as some interesting results on periodic points on the real axis.
