From examining the superfunction for 4z(1-z) about z=0,
)
(one of the few elementary examples for a non-Mobius function), we get:
 = sin^2(3 \cdot 2^n) = (3 cos^2(2^n) sin(2^n) - sin^3(2^n))^2 = (3 sin(2^n) - 4 sin^3(2^n))^2 = sin^2(2^n) (3 - 4 sin^2(2^n))^2 )
So [one of] the
iterate of
)
is
^2)
. Putting these functions into the "Mandlebrot" form by conjugating with
, we get that the
iterate of
is
.
I was hoping to include some pictures of the Julia sets of these two functions, but I don't have ready access to a program that can draw general cubic sets (such as the old Autodesk
Chaos program). So I'll try again in the morning, using Fractint.

Here is the Julia set of

And here is the set for

They don't seem to be displaying on my machine, though.

First Tommy-Ben Conjecture :
let a,b,c be positive integers.
Let X,Y be positive irrational numbers that are linearly independant but they are NOT algebraicly independant.
Nomatter what X,Y are , there is NO non-Möbius closed form function f(x) such that
f^[a + b X + c Y](x)
is also a closed form for every a,b,c.

Ben's OP was an example where f^[a + b X](x) had a closed form for every a,b. ( X was lb(3) )
Im very very convinced of this conjecture.

Second Tommy-Ben conjecture :
Let a_i be positive integers and X_i be linear independant positive irrational numbers.
Let n be an integer > 0.
If f^[a + a_1 X + a_2 X_2 + ... + a_n X_n](x) is a closed form for every a_i then the superfunction of f is a composition of at least 2 functions with an addition rule and the X_i are all of the form log(A_i)/log© where the A_i are integers and C is a constant.
