Konstruktive Methoden der konformen Abbildung.

Based on the increasing progress of electronic computers, constructive methods of conformal mapping become accessible also from the view-point of praxis. The problems of conformal mapping have been attacked in various ways under close connection between theoretical disciplines and experimental mathematics. This book gives a very clear and thorough exposition to the theory and praxis of conformal mapping with special reference to constructive approach. Many results of fundamental importance for the subject are presented in readily accessible forms with proofs. The book consists of two parts according to problems on simply-connected and multiply-connected domains. The first part contains four chapters which are essentially independent to each other while the second part consists of the last one chapter in which the previous developments are referred to. Chapter I. ``Conformal mapping of simply-connected domains by solving integral equations with Neumann kernel. Here the problem of mapping a given domain onto the unit circle etc. as a canonical domain is included. The boundary correspondence of the mapping leads to various types of linear integral equations which are solvable by means of Neumann series. The errors of approximation are esti-mated in particular from numerical aspects. Chapter II. ``Theodorsen procedure on conformal mapping of the unit circle onto an assigned domain. The integral equation satisfied by the boundary correspondence which is non-linear and singular but with elementary kernel is derived. It is solved in iterative way and the estimation of errors in numerical approximation is dealt with in detail. Chapter III. ``Approximation of conformal mapping by polynomials with extremal properties. Two minimal properties of the derivative of mapping function are taken into account, i.e. principles of least area and least length. The completeness of respective systems of polynomials is discussed in relation to Ritz method. Chapter IV. ``Further methods on conformal mapping of simply-connected domains. Some methods other than those explained in the previous chapters are available from practical view-point. Interpolation by harmonic polynomials as well as Kantorowitsch method are illustrated by numerical examples. On the other hand, methods for determining parameters in Schwarz-Christoffel formula on polygonal mapping are sketched. Chapter V. ``Conformal mapping of multiply-connected domains onto canonical domains. It is stated that several results in chapters I and II can be generalized to multiply-connected case. Throughout the present chapter ring domains in doubly-connected case are discussed especially in detail. The method of alternating iteration due to the reviewer for approximating the mapping of a ring domain onto an annulus is supplemented by error-estimation and is modified in order to accelerate the velocity of convergence. The results here are based for
