Recently, Todorov and Wilf independently realized that de Branges' original proof of the Bieberbach and Milin conjectures and the proof that was later given by Weinstein deal with the same special function system that de Branges had introduced in his work. In this article, we present an elementary proof of this statement based on the deen-ing diierential equations system rather than the closed ...

We prove a C version of the real Koebe principle for interval (or circle) maps with non-flat critical points.

In this talk I will present the conjecture and the main ideas that led to the proof. The proof of Lenard Weinstein (1991) [4] follows, and I will show how the two proofs are interrelated. Both proofs depend on polynomial systems that are directly related with the Koebe function. At this point algorithms of computer algebra come into the play, and I will give a computer demonstration how importa...

Let F denote the class of all functions univalent in the unit disk and convex in the direction of the real axis. In the paper we discuss the functions of the class F which are n-fold symmetric, where n is positive even integer. For the class of such functions we find the Koebe set as well as the covering set, i.e. T f2F f ðDÞ and S f2F f ðDÞ. Moreover, the Koebe constant and the covering consta...

In his 1984 proof of the Bieberbach and Milin conjectures de Branges used a positivity result of special functions which follows from an identity about Jacobi polynomial sums that was found by Askey and Gasper in 1973, published in 1976. In 1991 Weinstein presented another proof of the Bieberbach and Milin conjectures, also using a special function system which (by Todorov and Wilf) was realize...

The Bieberbach conjecture about the coefficients of univalent functions of the unit disk was formulated by Ludwig Bieberbach in 1916 [4]. The conjecture states that the coefficients of univalent functions are majorized by those of the Koebe function which maps the unit disk onto a radially slit plane. The Bieberbach conjecture was quite a difficult problem, and it was surprisingly proved by Lou...

This paper utilizes the method of extremal length to study several diameter problems for functions conformal outside of a disc centered at the origin, with a standard normalization, which possess a quasiconformal extension to a ring subdomain of this disc. Known results on the diameter of a complementary component of the image domain of a univalent function are extended. Applications to the tra...
