Unfortunately my z[u] spirals around the origin in the complex z-plane. So purely imaginary values are common. Here is a somewhat simplified example. Look at a parametric plot from u = 0 to u=10 for this z[u]: z[u] = f[u]/f[0], where f[u] = E^(20 (Sqrt[1/4 + (1 - rho^2) u^2 + I (rho - 1) u] - Sqrt[1-rho^2] u ) ), with say rho = -0.8. Any suggestions for this type of spiraling z[u]? regards, alan
