As long as the period is a real number (with an infinite continued fraction representation), then I suspect the superfunction is analytic. If the period is a rational number, then I don't think there is an analytic superfunction. For example, this base, with a real period=3, probably doesn't have an analytic superfunction, developed from the neutral fixed point, because starting with a point near L, and iterating the function x=B^x three times, doesn't get you back to the initial starting point.Hi Sheldon -
Base= 0.030953557167612060 + 1.7392241043091316i
L= 0.39294655583435517 + 0.46203078407110528i
I've inserted your base-parameter and got the following plot for the orbit/for the three partial trajectories in the same style of my previous plots. I seem to have problems to understand your comment correctly. For instance, isn't that fixpoint attracting instead of neutral?
Having seen this I assume, that also with a starting-point near the fixpoint we get something converging to the fixpoint, however slow. But, well, that would be now another job to prove.
In my initial plot it seemed, that there is only one base b0, whose orbits are between converging to the fixpoint and diverging, and because the base at 1.71290*I is such a base I assume, that we get either convergence here or divergence to a triplett of cumulation points.
What do you think?

[Update]
A startingpoint x0=0.41*(1+I)=b^^0, even nearer at the fixpoint L, exhibits now repelling properties of the fixpoint. So I think, that in fact there are three "oscillating" fixpoints in the near of the orbit of the last experiment and the trajectories of the first picture do not approach the fixpoint L but that triplett of accumulation(?) points.
