the main aim of this paper is to introduce three classes $h^0_{p,q}$, $h^1_{p,q}$ and $th^*_p$ of $p$-harmonic mappings and discuss the properties of mappings in these classes. first, we discuss the starlikeness and convexity of mappings in $h^0_{p,q}$ and $h^1_{p,q}$. then establish the covering theorem for mappings in $h^1_{p,q}$. finally, we determine the extreme points of the class $th^*_{p}$.

A planar harmonic mapping in a simply connected domain D ⊂ C is a complex-valued function f u iv defined in D for which both u and v are real harmonic in D, that is, Δf 4fzz 0, where Δ represents the Laplacian operator. The mapping f can be written as a sum of an analytic and antianalytic functions, that is, f h g. We refer to 1 and the book of Duren 2 for many interesting results on planar har...

inthis paper, the main aim is to introduce the class $mathcal{u}_p(lambda,alpha,beta,k_0)$ of $p$-harmonic mappings togetherwith its subclasses $mathcal{u}_p(lambda,alpha,beta,k_0)capmathcal {t}_p$ and $mathcal{u}_p(lambda,alpha,beta,k_0)capmathcal {t}_p^0$, andinvestigate the properties of the mappings in these classes. first,we give a sufficient condition for mappings to be in $mathcal{u}_p(l...

The first author proved that the harmonic convolution of a normalized right half-plane mapping with either another normalized right halfplane mapping or a normalized vertical strip mapping is convex in the direction of the real axis. provided that it is locally univalent. In this paper, we prove that in general the assumption of local univalency cannot be omitted. However, we are able to show t...

We show that each Jordan homomorphism R→ R′ of rings gives rise to a harmonic mapping of one connected component of the projective line over R into the projective line over R′. If there is more than one connected component then this mapping can be extended in various ways to a harmonic mapping which is defined on the entire projective line over R.

We present an efficient adaptive method to compute the harmonic volumetric mapping, which establishes a smooth correspondence between two given solid objects of the same topology. We solve a sequence of charge systems based on the harmonic function theory and the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) for designing the map with boundary and feature constraints. Compared to the previous harmonic ...

In [11] the author proved that every quasiconformal harmonic mapping between two Jordan domains with C, 0 < α ≤ 1, boundary is biLipschitz, providing that the domain is convex. In this paper we avoid the restriction of convexity. More precisely we prove: any quasiconformal harmonic mapping between two Jordan domains Ωj , j = 1, 2, with C, j = 1, 2 boundary is bi-Lipschitz.

We developed two techniques to address 3D volume parameterization and deformation mapping problems that arise in medical imaging [1]. The first algorithm finds a harmonic map from a 3-manifold to a 3D solid sphere and the second is a novel sphere carving algorithm which calculates the simplicial decomposition of a complex 3D image volume while preserving its surface topology. In this paper, we ...
