A modified Schwarz–Christoffel mapping for regions with piecewise smooth boundaries

A method where polygon corners in Schwarz–Christoffel mappings are rounded, is used to construct mappings from the upper half-plane to regions bounded by arbitrary piecewise smooth curves. From a given curve, a polygon is constructed by taking tangents to the curve in a number of carefully chosen so-called tangent points. The Schwarz–Christoffel mapping for that polygon is then constructed and modified to round the corners.
