On the extension of ring homeomorphisms to the boundary (Q2901656)

The present paper is devoted to the study of homeomorphisms satisfying certain geometric conditions in a domain \(D\) in \({\mathbb R}^n\), \(n\geq 2\); they can be seen as generalizations of quasiconformal mappings in the spirit of the criterion introduced by J. Väisälä. It is well known that a \(Q\)-homeomorphism \(f:D\rightarrow {D}^{\prime}\) can be extended to the boundary of \(D\) under certain conditions on \(Q\) and on the boundaries of \(D\) and \(D^{\prime}\). The author extends this result proving the sufficiency of a weaker condition which requires that the given mapping \(f\) is a ring \(Q\)-homeomorphism. More precisely, given a point \(x_0\in \partial D\), suppose that \(f:D\rightarrow {D}^{\prime}\), \(f(D)=D^{\prime}\), is a ring \(Q\)-homeomorphism. Suppose furthermore that \(D\) is locally connected at the point \(x_0\) and that the boundary of \(D^{\prime}\) is strongly accessible at least at one of the points of the limiting set \(C(f, x_0)\). Then \(f\) can be continuously extended to the point \(x_0\) if \(Q\) has finite mean oscillation at \(x_0\) or if only logarithmic singularities of order \(\leq n-1\) occur. Another result states the possibility of a continuous extension of such a mapping to an isolated boundary point under the same conditions on \(Q\).
