Quasiconformal harmonic mappings between \fancyscriptC1,m{{\fancyscript{C}}^{1,\mu}} Euclidean surfaces

The conformal deformations are contained in two classes of mappings quasiconformal and harmonic mappings. In this paper we consider the intersection of these classes. We show that, every K quasiconformal harmonic mapping between surfaces with boundary is a Lipschitz mapping. This extends some recent results of several authors where the same problem has been considered for plane domains. As an application it is given an explicit Lipschitz constant of normalized isothermal coordinates of a disk-type minimal surface in terms of boundary curve only. It seems that this kind of estimates are new for conformal mappings of the unit disk onto a Jordan domain as well.     

Mixed Stekloff Eigenvalue Problem and New Extremal Properties of the Grötzsch Ring

We study the mixed Stekloff eigenvalue problem in doubly connected domains. Using circular symmetrization and a distortion theorem for conformal mappings of an annulus, we find lower bounds for the first eigenvalue. These bounds are sharp for the Grötzsch ring. We also solve an extremal problem for some polygonal doubly connected domains and prove some results concerning the existence of a closed nodal line. Bibliography: 19 titles.

Conjugate function method for numerical conformal mappings

We present a method for numerical computation of conformal mappings from simply or doubly connected domains onto so-called canonical domains, which in our case are rectangles or annuli. The method is based on conjugate harmonic functions and properties of quadrilaterals. Several numerical examples are given.     

Numerical conformal mapping of multiply connected regions onto the second, third and fourth categories of Koebe?s canonical slit domains

This paper presents a boundary integral method for approximating the conformal mappings from any bounded or unbounded multiply connected region G onto the second, third and fourth categories of Koebe?s canonical slit domains. The method can be also used for calculating the conformal mappings of simply and doubly connected regions. The method is an extension of the author?s method for the first category of Koebe?s canonical slit domains (see [M.M.S. Nasser, Numerical conformal mapping via a boundary integral equation with the generalized Neumann kernel, SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 31 (2009) 1695-1715]). Three numerical examples are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.     

A Schwarz-Pick inequality for harmonic quasiconformal mappings and its applications

The main result of this paper is the sharp generalized Schwarz-Pick inequality for euclidean harmonic quasiconformal mappings with convex ranges, which generalizes a result given by Mateljevi?. As its applications, we obtain the property of quasi-isometry with respect to the Poincaré distance and an analogue of the Koebe theorem for this class of mappings.     

Sufficient conditions for the univalence of quasiconformal mappings

Using two methods, quasiconformal continuation involving a theorem of Hadamard and direct estimation of f(z₂)?f(z₁), we obtain sufficient conditions for the univalence of continuously differentiable mappings f(z) of plane domains which, in the case of conformal mappings, reduce to both well-known and new results.     

Nonlinear Riemann - Hilbert Problems without Transversality

Nonlinear Riemann - Hilbert problems (RHP) generalize two fundamental classical problems for complex analytic functions, namely: 1. the conformal mapping problem, and 2. the linear Riemann - Hilbert problem. This paper presents new results on global existence for the nonlinear (RHP) in doubly connected domains with nonclosed restriction curves for the boundary data. More precisely, our nonlinear (RHP) is required to become ?at infinity”?, i.e., for solutions having large moduli, a linear (RHP) with variable coefficients. Global existence for q-connected domains was already obtained in [9] for the special case that the restriction curves for the boundary data ?at infinity”? coincide with straight lines corresponding to linear (RHP)-s with special so-called constant - coefficient transversality boundary conditions. In this paper, the boundary conditions are much more general including highly nonlinear conditions for bounded solutions in the context of nontransversality. In order to prove global existence, we reduce the problem to nonlinear singular integral equations which can be treated by a degree theory of Fredholm - quasiruled mappings specifically constructed for mappings defined by nonlinar pseudodifferential operators.     

Quasiconformal extensions to space of Weierstrass-Enneper lifts

The Ahlfors-Weill extension of a conformal mapping of the disk is generalized to the Weierstrass-Enneper lift of a harmonic mapping of the disk to a minimal surface, producing homeomorphic and quasiconformal extensions to space. The extension is defined through the family of best Möbius approximations to the lift applied to a bundle of euclidean circles orthogonal to the disk. Extension of the planar harmonic map is also obtained subject to additional assumptions on the dilatation. The hypotheses involve bounds on a generalized Schwarzian derivative for harmonic mappings in terms of the hyperbolic metric of the disk and the Gaussian curvature of the minimal surface. Hyperbolic convexity plays a crucial role.

On Fredholm Eigenvalues of Unbounded Polygons

An important open problem in geometric complex analysis is to establish some algorithms for explicit determination of the basic functionals intrinsically connected with conformal and quasiconformal mappings such as their Teichmüller and Grunsky norms, Fredholm eigenvalues and the quasireflection coefficient. This problem has not been solved even for generic quadrilaterals. We provide a restricted solution of the problem for unbounded rectilinear polygons.

Discrete quasiconformal mappings

Summary Some basic properties of quasiconformal mappings are reviewed which leads to the development of discrete analogs of quasiconformal mappings of a multiply connected domain onto a rectangular domain with slits. These discrete mappings can be constructed by solving a system of equations. Comparison of results for a special conformal mapping suggest that the discrete mapping is a good approximation to the quasiconformal mapping.

Zusammenfassung Es werden einige grundlegende Eigenschaften quasikonformer Abbildungen diskutiert, und es wird ein diskretes Analogon solcher Abbildungen aufgestellt, mit Hilfe dessen mehrfach zusammenhängende Bereiche auf Rechteckbereiche mit Schlitzen abgebildet werden können. Ein Vergleich der Resultate für eine spezielle konforme Abbildung zeigt, dass die diskrete Abbildung eine gute Approximation der quasikonformen Abbildung liefert.

     

Pluriharmonic mappings and linearly connected domains in ℂ n

In this paper we obtain certain sufficient conditions for the univalence of pluriharmonic mappings defined in the unit ball \(\mathbb{B}^n \) of ? ⁿ . The results are generalizations of conditions of Chuaqui and Hernández that relate the univalence of planar harmonic mappings with linearly connected domains, and show how such domains can play a role in questions regarding injectivity in higher dimensions. In addition, we extend recent work of Hernández and Martín on a shear type construction for planar harmonic mappings, by adapting the concept of stable univalence to pluriharmonic mappings of the unit ball \(\mathbb{B}^n \) into ? ⁿ .     

On Belinskii conformality in countable sets of points

The local behavior of plane quasiconformal mappings is investigated. In particular, generalizing the well-known Reich-Walczak problem, we study the possibility for a quasiconformal mapping to be conformal in the sense of Belinskii at a prescribed point or in a prescribed set of points when the modulus of the complex dilatation is a fixed measurable function. The notion of the Belinskii conformality is related to the conception of asymptotical rotations by Brakalova and Jenkins.

     

Convergence analysis of trial free boundary methods for the two-dimensional filtration problem

Summary In this paper, we present a scheme of convergence analysis of trial free boundary methods for the two-dimensional filtration (or dam) problem. For the purpose we present a new variational principle of the filtration problem. This variational principle is defined on the set of admissible domains (candidates of the solution) in the dam. Under mild assumptions on the configuration of the dam, we may assume that all admissible domains are mapped from the unit disk by conformal mappings. Thus, proving convergence of trial free boundaries is reduced to proving convergence of the conformal mappings on the unit disk, and it is done using a method in the theory of minimal surfaces. Numerical examples are given.     

An analog of the Schwarz lemma for locally quasiconformal automorphisms of the unit disk

We obtain sharp estimates for the module of functions in the classes of normalized locally quasiconformal authomorphisms of the unit disk with given majorants of M. A. Lavrent’ev’s characteristic. The estimates are analogs of Schwarz’s lemma and A. Mori’s theoremand they imply the classical growth theorems for quasiconformal authomorphisms of the disk. In the classes we also prove sharp estimates of the conformal radius and the radius of covering disk. The main results are obtained by methods of extremal lengths and symmetrization.     

Inner estimate and quasiconformal harmonic maps between smooth domains

We prove a type of “inner estimate” for quasi-conformal diffeomorphisms, which satisfies a certain estimate concerning their Laplacian. This, in turn, implies that quasiconformal harmonic mappings between smooth domains (with respect to an approximately analytic metric), have bounded partial derivatives; in particular, these mappings are Lipschitz. We discuss harmonic mappings with respect to (a) spherical and Euclidean metrics (which are approximately analytic) (b) the metric induced by a holomorphic quadratic differential.
