ya I would say so, that each non-integer iterate has a singularity as a function in \( b \) at \( e^{1/e} \).
So does this mean the original hypothesis that it "depends holomorphically on \( b \)" (apparently across \( e^{1/e} \) since you contrast this behavior with that of the "usual" regular iteration) was wrong?
