Abstract:
The following extremal problem is solved. We consider a family of continuously differentiable univalent quasiconformal mappings $w = f(z)$ of the annulus $r < |z| < 1$ onto the unit disk minus some continuum containing the origin. For a point b on a fixed circle, maximize $|f(b)|$ within the family. The problem is solved by using a variational method due to Schiffer. The extremal function and the maximum are found in terms of the Weierstrass $\wp$-function and the elliptic modular function.References
