Let \(D\) be the domain exterior to \(n\) disjoint Jordan curves \(C_1, \dots, C_n\). The authors use Amano's charge simulation method to approximate the conformal mapping \(f\) of \(D\) onto a horizontal, vertical, radial, or circular slit domain, normalized at \(\infty\). In the method, \(f\) is approximated typically by a finite sum \(\Sigma Q_j\log (z-\zeta_j)\) with given charge points \(\zeta_j\) inside the \(C_k\). The unknown charges \(Q_j\) are determined so that certain collocation conditions are satisfied; hence a linear system for the \(Q_j\) has to be solved. A numerical example is presented in which \(D\) is bounded by three circles. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0940.00050].
