Existence of quadratic differentials with prescribed properties (Q1376892)

In the first section of this paper, about the existence and extremal properties of quadratic differentials with trajectories that are similar to logarithmic spirals, the author corrects errors in one of her earlier papers [Extremal properties of quadratic differentials with trajectories which are asymptotically similar to logarithmic spirals, Zap. Nauchn. Semin. Leningr. Otd. Mat. Inst. Steklova 160, 121-137 (1987; Zbl 0633.30023)]. The second section, about the existence of certain quadratic differentials with poles of high-order, continues and extends the author's previous work. Beginning with quadratic differentials \(Q(z,\varepsilon)dz^2\) that satisfy a number of conditions, the author constructs quadratic differentials \(Q(z)dz^2\) with prescribe simple poles and poles of higher orders and such that some other conditions are satisfied.
