We show that there exists an entire function without finite asymptotic values for which the associated Newton function tends to infinity in some invariant domain. The question whether such a function exists had been raised by Douady.
We consider functions which are subfunctions with respect to the differential operator $$L_ρ= \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} + \frac{\partial^2}{\partial y^2} + 2ρ\frac{\partial}{\partial x} + ρ^2 $$ and are doubly periodic in the plane. These functions play an important role in describing the asymptotic behavior of entire and subharmonic functions of finite order. In studying their properties we are led to problems concerning the uniqueness of Martin functions and the critical value for the parameter $ρ$ in the homogeneous boundary problem for the operator $L_ρ$ in a domain on the torus.
