Effective discretization of the energy integral and Grunsky coefficients in annuli (Q814798)

Using `extremal point systems', introduced by [\textit{K. Menke}, ``Extremalpunkte und konforme Abbildung'', Math. Ann. 195, 292--308 (1972; Zbl 0215.12402)], the author formulates a discrete energy problem for a certain class of functions whose solution provides a geometrically fast converging approximation to the equilibrium measure of a given analytic Jordan curve in the complex plane. This involves an energy integral, and the author gives a discretization of this integral together with explicit error bounds. The latter uses a criterion for Laurent series which goes back to [\textit{R. Kühnau}, Geometrie der konformen Abbildung auf der hyperbolischen und der elliptischen Ebene, Mathematische Forschungsberichte 28 (1974; Zbl 0278.30022)]. Finally, it is shown that this error estimate gives rise to an estimate of the discrepancy between the approximating measures and the equilibrium measure.
