Abstract
This paper continues the systematic study of the exponent of convergence δ(G) of a Fuchsian groupG begun byA. F. Beardon. The object is to show that in various senses δ(G) is a continuous function ofG. In view of the incompleteness of our knowledge about δ(G) considerable attention is paid to illustrative examples.
