Review text

In the first part of this paper, the conjugate operator \(K\) defined by \[ (KU) (e^{ix}): ={1\over 2\pi} \int^{2\pi}_0 U(e^{it}) \cot{x-t \over 2}dt \] is approximated at the points \(Z_m= \exp({2\pi i\over n} (m-1))\) \((m=1, \dots, n)\) by applying \(K\) to the piecewise linear function which interpolates \(U\) at the points \(Z_j\) \((j=1, \dots, n)\). Thus \(V=KU\) is approximated by a vector relation \({\mathbf V}= C{\mathbf U}\). [Often trigonometric interpolation is used instead of piecewise linear interpolation.] The second part of the paper deals with numerical conformal mapping. Given a Jordan curve \(\Gamma\), let \(w=f(z)= U(z)+iV(z)\) map \(\mathbb{D}= \{z:|z|<1\}\) conformally onto \(\text{int} \Gamma\). Then \(U,V\) satisfy two equivalent equations \[ V(e^{is})= V(0)+ (KU)(e^{is}) \quad\text{and} \quad U(e^{is})= U(0)-(KV) (e^{is}). \] Discretization gives two linear systems which are, however, not equivalent. A least square solution of this system is given by the `Generalized conjugation operator'. This method does not use properties of \(\Gamma\) like starlikeness etc. Five test examples are presented.
