Conformal Mappings

 

Example 10.9. The transformation [Graphics:c28.txtgr1.gif] is a one-to-one
conformal mapping of the unit disk[Graphics:c28.txtgr2.gif] onto the horizontal strip |v| < [Graphics:c28.txtgr3.gif].
Furthermore, the upper semicircle of the disk is mapped onto the line [Graphics:c28.txtgr4.gif]
and the lower semicircle onto [Graphics:c28.txtgr5.gif].

To show [Graphics:c28.txtgr6.gif] is one-to-one conformal we need to find the inverse function.

[Graphics:c28.txtgr8.gif][Graphics:c28.txtgr7.gif]

The image is traced using a graph.

 

[Graphics:c28.txtgr8.gif]

The mapping w = Log[(1 + z)/(1 - z)].

 Thus, the image of the unit disk |z| < 1 is the horizontal strip |v| < [Graphics:c28.txtgr10.gif].
