Harmonic extensions of symmetric maps (Q1016542)

The twofold goal of the paper is to examine the Douady-Earle extension (for the precise definition, the reader is directed to [\textit{A. Douady} and \textit{C. J. Earle}, Acta Math. 157, 23--48 (1986; Zbl 0615.30005)]), and to apply the obtained results for proving that if a quasi-symmetric homeomorphism of the unit circle (the boundary of \textbf{H}\({}^2\)) is symmetric, then it can be harmonically extended to a quasi-conformal self-map of the hyperbolic disk.
