Infinite-dimensional Thurston theory and transcendental dynamics IV: dependence on parameters and escape on (pre-)periodic rays

Abstract: We consider transcendental entire functions that are compositions of a polynomial and the exponential for which all singular values escape on disjoint rays. Based on their classification in [B3] we investigate their dependence on parameters, that is, on the potentials and external addresses of singular values. Using continuity argument we generalize the classification in [B3] to the case when dynamic rays containing singular values are (pre-)periodic.
