Abstract
Let \(\varphi \) be an entire function, the superposition operator is defined by \(S_{\varphi }(f)=\varphi \circ f\). In this paper, we characterize the entire functions \(\varphi \) that transform weighted Bloch spaces of analytic functions \({\mathcal {B}}_{\mu }\) into another space of the same kind \({\mathcal {B}}_{\nu }\) by superposition. Both \(\mu \) and \(\nu \) are normal functions or both belong to a certain class of functions. We also obtain several results about the boundedness of superposition operators acting between Logarithmic-type Bloch spaces, weight Banach spaces among others.
