We study inequalities between the hyperbolic metric and intrinsic metrics in convex polygonal domains in the complex plane. Special attention is paid to the triangular ratio metric in rectangles. A local study leads to an investigation of the relationship between the conformal radius at an arbitrary point of a planar domain and the distance of the point to the boundary.
We study moduli of planar ring domains whose complements are linear segments and establish formulas for their moduli in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic functions. Numerical tests are carried out to illuminate our results.
Quasiconformal homeomorphisms of the whole space Rn, onto itself normalized at one or two points are studied. In particular, the stability theory, the case when the maximal dilatation tends to 1, is in the focus. Our main result provides a spatial analogue of a classical result due to Teichmüller. Unlike Teichmüller's result, our bounds are explicit. Explicit bounds are based on two sharp well-known distortion results: the quasiconformal Schwarz lemma and the bound for linear dilatation. Moreover, Bernoulli type inequalities and asymptotically sharp bounds for special functions involving complete elliptic integrals are applied to simplify the computations. Finally, we discuss the behavior of the quasihyperbolic metric under quasiconformal maps and prove a sharp result for quasiconformal maps of R^n \ {0} onto itself.
Suppose that $E$ and $E'$ denote real Banach spaces with dimension at least $2$ and that $D\subset E$ and $D'\subset E'$ are domains. In this paper, we establish, in terms of the $j_D$ metric, a necessary and sufficient condition for the homeomorphism $f: E \to E'$ to be FQC. Moreover, we give, in terms of the $j_D$ metric, a sufficient condition for the homeomorphism $f: D\to D'$ to be FQC. On the other hand, we show that this condition is not necessary.
We study the stability of John domains in Banach spaces under removal of a countable set of points. In particular, we prove that the class of John domains is stable in the sense that removing a certain type of closed countable set from the domain yields a new domain which also is a John domain. We apply this result to prove the stability of the inner uniform domains. Finally, we consider a wider class of domains, so called $ψ$-John domains and prove a similar result for this class.
Suppose that $E$ denotes a real Banach space with the dimension at least 2. The main aim of this paper is to show that a domain $D$ in $E$ is a $ψ$-uniform domain if and only if $D\backslash P$ is a $ψ_1$-uniform domain, and $D$ is a uniform domain if and only if $D\backslash P$ also is a uniform domain, whenever $P$ is a closed countable subset of $D$ satisfying a quasihyperbolic separation condition. This condition requires that the quasihyperbolic distance (w.r.t. $D$) between each pair of distinct points in $P$ has a lower bound greater than or equal to $\frac{1}{2}$.
Suppose that $E$ and $E'$ denote real Banach spaces with dimension at least 2 and that $D\varsubsetneq E$ and $D'\varsubsetneq E'$ are uniform domains with homogeneously dense boundaries. We consider the class of all $φ$-FQC (freely $φ$-quasiconformal) maps of $D$ onto $D'$ with bilipschitz boundary values. We show that the maps of this class are $η$-quasisymmetric. As an application, we show that if $D$ is bounded, then maps of this class satisfy a two sided Hölder condition. Moreover, replacing the class $φ$-FQC by the smaller class of $M$-QH maps, we show that $M$-QH maps with bilipschitz boundary values are bilipschitz. Finally, we show that if $f$ is a $φ$-FQC map which maps $D$ onto itself with identity boundary values, then there is a constant $C\,,$ depending only on the function $φ\,,$ such that for all $x\in D$, the quasihyperbolic distance satisfies $k_D(x,f(x))\leq C$.
In this paper, we first study the bounded mean oscillation of planar harmonic mappings, then a relationship between Lipschitz-type spaces and equivalent modulus of real harmonic mappings is established. At last, we obtain sharp estimates on Lipschitz number of planar harmonic mappings in terms of bounded mean oscillation norm, which shows that the harmonic Bloch space is isomorphic to $BMO_{2}$ as a Banach space..
We study two metrics, the quasihyperbolic metric and the distance ratio metric of a subdomain $G \subset {\mathbb R}^n$. In the sequel, we investigate a class of domains, so called $φ$-uniform domains, defined by the property that these two metrics are comparable with respect to a homeomorphism $φ$ from $[0,\infty)$ to itself. Finally, we discuss a number of stability properties of $φ$-uniform domains. In particular, we show that the class of $φ$-uniform domains is stable in the sense that removal of a geometric sequence of points from a $φ$-uniform domain yields a $φ_1$-uniform domain.
In this paper, we discuss the minimal surfaces over the slanted half-planes, vertical strips, and single slit whose slit lies on the negative real axis. The representation of these minimal surfaces and the corresponding harmonic mappings are obtained explicitly. Finally, we illustrate the harmonic mappings of each of these cases together with their minimal surfaces pictorially with the help of mathematica.
This paper deals with generalized elliptic integrals and generalized modular functions. Several new inequalities are given for these and related functions.
Let $E$ be a continuum in the closed unit disk $|z|\le 1$ of the complex $z$-plane which divides the open disk $|z| < 1$ into $n\ge 2$ pairwise non-intersecting simply connected domains $D_k,$ such that each of the domains $D_k$ contains some point $a_k$ on a prescribed circle $|z| = ρ, 0 <ρ<1, k=1,...,n\,. $ It is shown that for some increasing function $Ψ\,$ independent of $E$ and the choice of the points $a_k,$ the mean value of the harmonic measures $$ Ψ^{-1}\[ \frac{1}{n} \sum_{k=1}^{k} Ψ(ω(a_k,E, D_k))] $$ is greater than or equal to the harmonic measure $ω(ρ, E^*, D^*)\,,$ where $E^* = \{z: z^n \in [-1,0] \}$ and $D^* =\{z: |z|<1, |{\rm arg} z| < π/n\} \,.$ This implies, for instance, a solution to a problem of R.W. Barnard, L. Cole, and A. Yu. Solynin concerning a lower estimate of the quantity $\inf_{E} \max_{k=1,...,n} ω(a_k,E, D_k)\,$ for arbitrary points of the circle $|z| = ρ\,.$ These authors stated this hypothesis in the particular case when the points are equally distributed on the circle $|z| = ρ\,.$
The authors provide a survey of certain aspects of their joint work with the late M. K. Vamanamurthy. Most of the results are simple to state and deal with special functions, a topic of research where S. Ramanujan's contributions are well-known landmarks. The comprehensive bibliography includes references to the latest contributions to this field.
For $α\in\IC\setminus \{0\}$ let $\mathcal{E}(α)$ denote the class of all univalent functions $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ and is given by $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$, satisfying $$ {\rm Re\,} \left (1+ \frac{zf''(z)}{f'(z)}+αzf'(z)\right)>0 \quad {in ${\mathbb D}$}. $$ For any fixed $z_0$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ and $λ\in\overline{\mathbb{D}}$, we determine the region of variability $V(z_0,λ)$ for $\log f'(z_0)+αf(z_0)$ when $f$ ranges over the class $$\mathcal{F}_α(λ)=\left\{f\in\mathcal{E}(α) \colon f''(0)=2λ-α%\quad{and} f'''(0)=2[(1-|λ|^2)a+ %(λ-α)^2 -λα] \right\}. $$ We geometrically illustrate the region of variability $V(z_0,λ)$ for several sets of parameters using Mathematica. In the final section of this article we propose some open problems.
This paper deals with some inequalities for trigonometric and hyperbolic functions such as the Jordan inequality and its generalizations. In particular, lower and upper bounds for functions such as (sin x)/x and x/(sinh x) are proved.
In this paper we determine the region of variability for spirallike funcions with respect to a boundary point. In the final section we graphically illustrate the region of variability for several sets of parameters.
In this paper we determine the region of variability for certain subclasses of univalent functions satisfying differential inequalities. In the final section we graphically illustrate the region of variability for several sets of parameters.
We describe, in terms of generalized elliptic integrals, the hyperbolic metric of the twice-punctured sphere with one conical singularity of prescribed order. We also give several monotonicity properties of the metric and a couple of applications.
