Approximating composition operator norms on the Dirichlet space (Q2465893)

The paper deals with the approximation of composition operators \(C_\varphi\) on the Dirichlet space \(\mathcal D\) over the open unit disk \(\mathbb D\) in the complex plane; here the symbol \(\varphi\) is supposed to be univalent and such that \(\Omega=\varphi({\mathbb D})\) is compactly contained in \(\mathbb D\). The authors provide a method to approximate the norm of the operator \(C_\varphi:{\mathcal D}\to{\mathcal D}\) to any desired degree of accuracy. To this end, they use a special basis which is orthogonal in both the Bergman space on \(\mathbb D\) and the Bergman space on \(\Omega\).
