A quantitative estimate for quasiintegral points in orbits

Liang-Chung Hsia and Joseph H. Silverman

Vol. 249 (2011), No. 2, 321–342
Abstract

Let φ(z) K(z) be a rational function of degree d 2 defined over a number field whose second iterate φ2(z) is not a polynomial, and let α K. The second author previously proved that the forward orbit 𝒪φ(α) contains only finitely many quasi-S-integral points. We give an explicit upper bound for the number of such points.
