On a quartic polynomials family of two parameters

ABSTRACT We consider a family of quartic polynomials generated by the composition of two quadratic polynomials. The elements of this family have two complex parameters, however they have at most two dynamic behaviors, since every map in this family have two critical points with the same forward orbits. In this paper, we study this quartic family in the complex parameter space, and we describe the dynamical plane for some special parameters. Moreover, we analyze the parameter space for these quartic polynomials with a super attracting fixed point. We describe the connectedness locus for this family, and we prove the locally connectedness of the boundary of hyperbolic components in the parameter space.
