Powers of Hypercyclic Functions for Some Classical Hypercyclic Operators

Abstract.We show that no power of any entire function is hypercyclic for Birkhoff’s translation operator on $$\mathcal{H}(\mathbb{C})$$ . On the other hand, we see that the set of functions whose powers are all hypercyclic for MacLane’s differentiation operator is a Gδ-dense subset of $$\mathcal{H}(\mathbb{C})$$ .
