We prove that the set of (m,n) in N^2 such that f^m(u) is S-integral relative to f^n(w) is finite and effectively computable. This may be thought of as a two-parameter analog of a result of Silverman on integral points in orbits of rational maps. This issue can be translated in terms of integral points on an open subset of P_1^2; then one can apply a modern version of the method of Runge, after increasing the number of components at infinity by iterating the rational map. Alternatively, an ineffective result comes from a well-known theorem of Vojta.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-03-08T00:18:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14G25", "37F10", "37P55" ], "keywords": [ "integral points", "two-parameter orbits", "nonconstant rational map", "degree greater", "finite set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1201.1313C" } } }
