Book Review: Reiner Kühnau (editor): Handbook of Complex Analysis. Geometric Function Theory. Vol. 1

The problem of extreme decomposition of a complex plane with fixed poles on a circle. Investigation on geometric function theory has been conducted by several researchers, however, few studies have reported on the problem considering extremal configurations the product of inner radii of non-overlapping domains with respect to fixed poles. The paper describes the problem of finding the maximum of the product of inner radii of mutually non-overlapping symmetric domains with respect to points on a unit circle multiply by a certain positive degree $\gamma$ of the inner radius of the domain with respect to the zero. The problem was studied using the method of separating transformation. Proving the theorem shows that the maximum is obtained if $\gamma\in(1,n^2]$ and for all $n\geqslant 2$. Its results and the method for the obtaining of these results can be used in the theory of potential, approximations, holomorphic dynamics, estimation of the distortion problems in conformal mapping, and complex analysis.

Differential Subordinations

This paper is related to notions adapted from fuzzy set theory to the field of complex analysis, namely fuzzy differential subordinations. Using the ideas specific to geometric function theory from the field of complex analysis, fuzzy differential subordination results are obtained using a new integral operator introduced in this paper using the well-known confluent hypergeometric function, also known as the Kummer hypergeometric function. The new hypergeometric integral operator is defined by choosing particular parameters, having as inspiration the operator studied by Miller, Mocanu and Reade in 1978. Theorems are stated and proved, which give corollary conditions such that the newly-defined integral operator is starlike, convex and close-to-convex, respectively. The example given at the end of the paper proves the applicability of the obtained results.

Series Expression

The Neumann–Poincaré (NP) operator, a singular integral operator on the boundary of a domain, naturally appears when one solves a conductivity transmission problem via the boundary integral formulation. Recently, a series expression of the NP operator was developed in two dimensions based on geometric function theory [34]. In this paper, we investigate geometric properties of composite materials using this series expansion. In particular, we obtain explicit formulas for the polarisation tensor and the effective conductivity for an inclusion or a periodic array of inclusions of arbitrary shape with extremal conductivity, in terms of the associated exterior conformal mapping. Also, we observe by numerical computations that the spectrum of the NP operator has a monotonic behaviour with respect to the shape deformation of the inclusion. Additionally, we derive inequality relations of the coefficients of the Riemann mapping of an arbitrary Lipschitz domain using the properties of the polarisation tensor corresponding to the domain.

AbstractBieberbach’s conjecture was very important in the development of geometric function theory, not only because of the result itself, but also due to the large amount of methods that have been developed in search of its proof. It is in this context that the integral transformations of the type $f_{\alpha }(z)=\int _{0}^{z}(f(\zeta )/\zeta )^{\alpha }\,d\zeta $ f α ( z ) = ∫ 0 z ( f ( ζ ) / ζ ) α d ζ or $F_{\alpha }(z)=\int _{0}^{z}(f'(\zeta ))^{\alpha }\,d\zeta $ F α ( z ) = ∫ 0 z ( f ′ ( ζ ) ) α d ζ appear. In this note we extend the classical problem of finding the values of $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$ α ∈ C for which either $f_{\alpha }$ f α or $F_{\alpha }$ F α are univalent, whenever f belongs to some subclasses of univalent mappings in $\mathbb{D}$ D , to the case of logharmonic mappings by considering the extension of the shear construction introduced by Clunie and Sheil-Small in (Clunie and Sheil-Small in Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn., Ser. A I 9:3–25, 1984) to this new scenario.

Disjoint Domains

In geometric function theory of complex variable extremal problems on non-overlapping domains are well-known classic direction. A lot of such problems are reduced to determination of the maximum of product of inner radii on the system of non-overlapping domains satisfying a certain conditions. In this paper, we consider the well-known problem of maximum of the functional $r^\gamma\left(B_0,0\right)\prod\limits_{k=1}^n r\left(B_k,a_k\right)$, where $B_{0}$,..., $B_{n}$ are pairwise disjoint domains in $\overline{\mathbb{C}}$, $ a_0=0 $, $|a_{k}|=1$, $k=\overline{1,n}$ are different points of the circle, $\gamma\in (0, n]$, and $r(B,a)$ is the inner radius of the domain $B\subset\overline{\mathbb{C}}$ relative to the point $ a $. This problem was posed as an open problem in the Dubinin paper in 1994. Till now, this problem has not been solved, though some partial solutions are available. In the paper an estimate for the inner radius of the domain that contains the point zero is found. The main result of the paper generalizes the analogous results of [1, 2] to the case of an arbitrary arrangement of systems of points on $\overline{\mathbb{C}}$.
