Dynamics of the family $$\lambda \tan z$$. (English) Zbl 0884.30019
Summary: We study the the tangent family $${\mathcal F} = \{\lambda \tan z, \lambda \in{\mathbb{C}}-\{0\}\}$$ and give a complete classification of their stable behavior. We also characterize the hyperbolic components and give a combinatorial description of their deployment in the parameter plane.
