Abstract

AbstractWe present a practical algorithm to compute models of rational functions with minimal resultant under conjugation by fractional linear transformations. We also report on a search for rational functions of degrees 2 and 3 with rational coefficients that have many integers in a single orbit. We find several minimal quadratic rational functions with eight integers in an orbit and several minimal cubic rational functions with ten integers in an orbit. We also make some elementary observations on possibilities of an analogue of Szpiro’s conjecture in a dynamical setting and on the structure of the set of minimal models for a given rational function.
