The author studies necessary and sufficient conditions for quasidisks: A Jordan domain \(D\) in \(\widehat{\mathbb R}^2\) is a quasidisk if and only if for any \(0<\alpha\leq 1\) there exists a constant \(M(\alpha)\) such that, for any points \(z_1\) and \(z_2\) in \(D\setminus\{\infty\}\) there exists a rectifiable curve \(\gamma\) in \(D\) joining \(z_1\) and \(z_2\) such that for any \(0\leq c_1<c_2 \leq 1/2\), \[ \frac{1}{c_2^{\alpha}-c_1^{\alpha}} \int_{\gamma_{[c_1,c_2]}}d(z,\partial D)^{\alpha -1}ds\leq M(\alpha)|z_1-z_2|^{\alpha} \] and \[ 0<\lim_{\alpha\to 0}[\alpha M(\alpha)]<+\infty. \] Here \(s\) is the length parameter of \(\gamma\), and \(\gamma_{[c_1,c_2]}\) the subcurve of \(\gamma\) with \(c_1l\leq s\leq c_2l\), \(l\) being the length of \(\gamma\).
