Extremal problems in the theory of quasiconformal mappings (Q1813804)

Let \(U\) and \(V\) be quasiconformally equivalent closed domains in \(\mathbb{R}^ n\), \(n\geq 2\). A mapping \(f: U\to V\) is called extremal, if it attains the minimal value of the coefficient of dilatation over a certain class of mappings. The authors prove two theorems: first, about the extremality of the mapping with the constant coefficient of dilatation and, second, about the extremality and uniqueness of the affine mapping in the Grötzsch problem.
