Conformal Mappings

 

Example 10.8. The transformation [Graphics:c26.txtgr1.gif] is a one-to-one
conformal mapping of the horizontal strip [Graphics:c26.txtgr2.gif] onto the disk [Graphics:c26.txtgr3.gif].
Furthermore, the x-axis is mapped onto the lower semicircle bounding the disk,
and the line [Graphics:c26.txtgr4.gif] is mapped onto the upper semicircle.

To show w = f(z) = [Graphics:c26.txtgr5.gif] is one-to-one conformal we need to find the inverse function.

[Graphics:c26.txtgr7.gif][Graphics:c26.txtgr6.gif]

The image is traced using a graph.

 

The mapping w = (ez - i)/(ez + i).

 Thus, the image of the horizontal strip [Graphics:c26.txtgr9.gif] is the disk |w| < 1.
