On quasimöbius maps in real Banach spaces

Suppose that $E$ and $E'$ denote real Banach spaces with dimension at least 2, that $D\varsubsetneq E$ and $D'\varsubsetneq E'$ are domains, that $f: D\to D'$ is an $(M,C)$-CQH homeomorphism, and that $D$ is uniform. The main aim of this paper is to prove that $D'$ is a uniform domain if and only if $f$ extends to a homeomorphism $\bar{f}: \bar{D}\to \bar{D}'$ and $\bar{f}$ is $η$-QM relative to $\partial D$. This result shows that the answer to one of the open problems raised by Väisälä from 1991 is affirmative.

Numerical methods with Sage

Numpy and SciPy are program libraries for the Python scripting language, which apply to a large spectrum of numerical and scientific computing tasks. The Sage project provides a multiplatform software environment which enables one to use, in a unified way, a large number of software components, including Numpy and Scipy, and which has Python as its command language. We review several examples, typical for scientific computation courses, and their solution using these tools in the Sage environment.

Apollonian circles and hyperbolic geometry

The goal of this paper is to study two basic problems of hyperbolic geometry. The first problem is to compare the hyperbolic and Euclidean distances. The second problem is to find hyperbolic counterparts of some basic geometric constructions such as the construction of the middle point of a hyperbolic geodesic segment. Apollonian circles have a key role in this study.

Local properties of quasihyperbolic and freely quasiconformal mappings

Suppose that $E$ and $E'$ denote real Banach spaces with dimension at least 2, that $D\subset E$ and $D'\subset E'$ are domains, and that $f: D\to D'$ is a homeomorphism. In this paper, we prove that if there exists some constant $M>1$ (resp. some homeomorphism $ϕ$) such that for all $x\in D$, $f: B(x,d_D(x))\to f(B(x,d_D(x)))$ is $M$-QH (resp. $ϕ$-FQC), then $f$ is $M_1$-QH with $M_1=M_1(M)$ (resp. $ϕ_1$-FQC with $ϕ_1=ϕ_1(ϕ)$). We apply our results to establish, in terms of the $j_D$ metric, a sufficient condition for a homeomorphism to be FQC.

Inclusion relations of hyperbolic type metric balls

We will consider inclusion of metric balls defined by the quasihyperbolic, the $j$-metric and the chordal metric. The quasihyperbolic metric and the $j$-metric are considered in general subdomains of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and in some particular domains like $\mathbb{R}^n \setminus {0}$ and the upper half-space.

Landen inequalities for zero-balanced hypergeometric functions

For zero-balanced Gaussian hypergeometric functions $ F(a,b;a+b;x),$ $a,b>0,$ we determine maximal regions of $ab$ plane where well-known Landen identities for the complete elliptic integral of the first kind turn on respective inequalities valid for each $x\in (0,1)$. Thereby an exhausting answer is given to an open problem.

Radius of Close-to-convexity of Harmonic Functions

Let ${\mathcal H}$ denote the class of all normalized complex-valued harmonic functions $f=h+\bar{g}$ in the unit disk ${\mathbb D}$, and let $K=H+\bar{G}$ denote the harmonic Koebe function. Let $a_n,b_n, A_n, B_n$ denote the Maclaurin coefficients of $h,g,H,G$, and $${\mathcal F}=\{f=h+\bar{g}\in {\mathcal H}:\,|a_n|\leq A_n and |b_n|\leq B_n for n\geq 1}. $$ We show that the radius of univalence of the family ${\mathcal F}$ is $0.112903...$. We also show that this number is also the radius of the starlikeness of ${\mathcal F}$. Analogous results are proved for a subclass of the class of harmonic convex functions in ${\mathcal H}$. These results are obtained as a consequence of a new coefficient inequality for certain class of harmonic close-to-convex functions. Surprisingly, the new coefficient condition helps to improve Bloch-Landau constant for bounded harmonic mappings.

On quotients and differences of hypergeometric functions

For Gaussian hypergeometric functions $F(x)= F(a,b;c;x),$ $a,b,c>0,$ we consider the quotient $ Q_F(x,y)= (F(x)+F(y))/F(z)$ and the difference $ D_F(x,y)= F(x)+F(y)-F(z)$ for $0<x,y<1$ with $z=x+y-xy \,.$ We give best possible bounds for both expressions under various hypotheses about the parameter triple $(a,b;c)\,.$

Metrization of weighted graphs

We find a set of necessary and sufficient conditions under which the weight $w:E\to\mathbb R^+$ on the graph $G=(V,E)$ can be extended to a pseudometric $d:V\times V\to\mathbb R^+$. If these conditions hold and $G$ is a connected graph, then the set $\mathfrak M_w$ of all such extensions is nonvoid and the shortest-path pseudometric $d_w$ is the greatest element of $\mathfrak M_w$ with respect to the partial ordering $d_1 \leqslant d_2$ if and only if $d_1(u,v) \leqslant d_2(u,v)$ for all $u,v\in V$. It is shown that every nonvoid poset $(\mathfrak M_w,\leqslant)$ contains the least element $ρ_{0,w}$ if and only if $G$ is a complete $k$-partite graph with $k\geqslant 2$ and in this case the explicit formula for computation of $ρ_{0,w}$ is obtained.

Hölder Continuity of Harmonic Quasiconformal Mappings

We prove that for harmonic quasiconformal mappings $α$-Hölder continuity on the boundary implies $α$-Hölder continuity of the map itself. Our result holds for the class of uniformly perfect bounded domains, in fact we can allow that a portion of the boundary is thin in the sense of capacity. The problem for general bounded domains remains open.

On Kaluza's sign criterion for reciprocal power series

T. Kaluza has given a criterion for the signs of the power series of a function that is the reciprocal of another power series. In this note the sharpness of this condition is explored and various examples in terms of the Gaussian hypergeometric series are given. A criterion for the monotonicity of the quotient of two power series due to M. Biernacki and J. Krzyż is applied.

Geometry of Metrics

During the past thirty years hyperbolic type metrics have become popular tools also in modern mapping theory, e.g., in the study of quasiconformal and quasiregular maps in the euclidean $n$-space. We study here several metrics that one way or another are related to modern mapping theory and point out many open problems dealing with the geometry of such metrics.

Inequalities for eigenfunctions of the $p$-Laplacian

Motivated by the work of P. Lindqvist, we study eigenfunctions of the one-dimensional $p$-Laplace operator, the $\sin_p$ functions, and prove several inequalities for these and $p$-analogues of other trigonometric functions and their inverse functions. Similar inequalities are given also for the $p$-analogues of the hyperbolic functions and their inverses.

On Mori's theorem for quasiconformal maps in the $n$-space

R. Fehlmann and M. Vuorinen proved in 1988 that Mori's constant $M(n,K)$ for $K$-quasiconformal maps of the unit ball in $\mathbf{R}^n$ onto itself keeping the origin fixed satisfies $M(n,K) \to 1$ when $K\to 1 .$ We give here an alternative proof of this fact, with a quantitative upper bound for the constant in terms of elementary functions. Our proof is based on a refinement of a method due to G.D. Anderson and M. K. Vamanamurthy. We also give an explicit version of the Schwarz lemma for quasiconformal self-maps of the unit disk. Some experimental results are provided to compare the various bounds for the Mori constant when $n=2 .$

Norm inequalities for vector functions

We study vector functions of ${\mathbb R}^n$ into itself, which are of the form $x \mapsto g(|x|)x\,,$ where $g : (0,\infty) \to (0,\infty) $ is a continuous function and call these radial functions. In the case when $g(t) = t^c$ for some $c \in {\mathbb R}\,,$ we find upper bounds for the distance of image points under such a radial function. Some of our results refine recent results of L. Maligranda and S. Dragomir. In particular, we study quasiconformal mappings of this simple type and obtain norm inequalities for such mappings.
