Univalent Functions and Conformal Mapping : Reihe: Moderne Funktionentheorie : Springer : 9783642885655 : 3642885659 : 19 Apr 2012 : This monograph deals with the application of the method of the extremal metric to the theory of univalent functions. Apart from an introductory chapter in which a brief survey of the development of this theory is given there is therefore no attempt to follow up other methods of treatment. Nevertheless such is the power of the present method that it is possible to include the great majority of known results on univalent functions. It should be mentioned also that the discussion of the method of the extremal metric is directed toward its application to univalent functions, there being no space to present its numerous other applications, particularly to questions of quasiconformal mapping. Also it should be said that there has been no attempt to provide an exhaustive biblio­ graphy, reference normally being confined to those sources actually quoted in the te
