Abstract

In this paper we discuss the topology and dynamics of Eλ(z) = λez when λ is real and λ > 1/e. It is known that the Julia set of Eλ is the entire plane in this case. Our goal is to show that there are certain natural invariant subsets for Eλ which are topologically Knaster-like continua. Moreover, the dynamical behavior on these invariant sets is quite tame. We show that the only trivial kinds of α- and ω-limit sets are possible.
