Definition
Let $C, D \subseteq \C$ with $z \in C \implies z + 1 \in C$.
Let $F: C \to D$ and $H: D \to D$ be holomorphic functions.
Let $\map H {\map F z} = \map F {z + 1}$ for all $z \in C$.
Then $F$ is said to be a superfunction of $H$, and $H$ is called a transfer function of $F$.
That is, superfunctions are iterations of transfer functions.
