Somewhere in the universe do three suns chase each other in a figure-eight pattern? This article explains a recent proof of the mathematical existence of such an orbit.

Recently I translated into English the most famous article by Gaston Julia.
"Memoire sur les iteration des fonction rationelles".
I did it, firstly, because I deal with English better than French and I thought that I would better understand the article if it were in English. While translating, I thought most people have better English than French (... except in France and in former French colonies...) and that it could be very useful to anyone else studying iteration in complex domains. So I decided to share it, since it's hard to find the original.
If you download it please give me your opinion of the translation so that I can improve it. If you like it, please add a link to my site so that more people can access it .

The journal 'Dynamical Systems' (formerly published as 'Dynamics and Stability of Systems'*) appears four times a year and publishes high quality research papers on the theory and application of dynamical systems. The publishers (Taylor and Francis) have approved an increase in page number for next year. The online version of the journal can be found at http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/tf/02681110.html
There is no formal page limit for submitted manuscripts and longer manuscripts will be considered; however we strive to offer fast refereeing to short papers (of less than 8 pages in final form). Note that this journal is available simultaneously in paper form and on-line to all subscribing individuals and institutions.
Advances in the following topics appear in `Dynamical Systems':
Applications in the sciences and engineering, Bifurcation theory, Differential equations, Hamiltonian and Lagrangian dynamics, Hyperbolic dynamics, Ergodic theory, Invariant sets and manifolds, Topological and smooth dynamics, Random dynamical systems.
(* Note that due to potential legal difficulties the title `Dynamical Systems and Applications' has not been adopted for this journal.)
Submissions:
Please send manuscripts to one of the joint editors-in-chief. We are happy to receive electronic submissions in the form of pdf or postscript files.
