Koebe Distortion Theorem
In complex analysis, a branch of mathematics, the Koebe 1/4 theorem states the following: Koebe Quarter Theorem. The image of an injective analytic function f:\mathbf\to\mathbb from the unit disk \mathbf onto a subset of the complex plane contains the disk whose center is f(0) and whose radius is , f'(0), /4. The theorem is named after Paul Koebe, who conjectured the result in 1907. The theorem was proven by Ludwig Bieberbach in 1916. The example of the Koebe function shows that the constant 1/4 in the theorem cannot be improved (increased). A related result is the Schwarz lemma, and a notion related to both is conformal radius. Grönwall's area theorem Suppose that :g(z) = z +b_1z^ + b_2 z^ + \cdots is univalent in , z, >1. Then :\sum_ n, b_n, ^2 \le 1. In fact, if r > 1, the complement of the image of the disk , z, >r is a bounded domain X(r). Its area is given by : \int_ dx\,dy = \int_\overline\,dz = \int_\overline\,dg=\pi r^2 - \pi\sum n, b_n, ^2 r^. Since the area i ...

Complex Analysis
Complex analysis, traditionally known as the theory of functions of a complex variable, is the branch of mathematical analysis that investigates Function (mathematics), functions of complex numbers. It is helpful in many branches of mathematics, including algebraic geometry, number theory, analytic combinatorics, applied mathematics; as well as in physics, including the branches of hydrodynamics, thermodynamics, and particularly quantum mechanics. By extension, use of complex analysis also has applications in engineering fields such as nuclear engineering, nuclear, aerospace engineering, aerospace, mechanical engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering. As a differentiable function of a complex variable is equal to its Taylor series (that is, it is Analyticity of holomorphic functions, analytic), complex analysis is particularly concerned with analytic functions of a complex variable (that is, holomorphic functions). History Complex analysis is one of the classical ...

Thomas Hakon Grönwall
Thomas Hakon Grönwall or Thomas Hakon Gronwall (January 16, 1877 in Dylta bruk, Sweden – May 9, 1932 in New York City, New York) was a Swedish mathematician. He studied at the University College of Stockholm and Uppsala University and completed his Ph.D. at Uppsala in 1898. Grönwall worked for about a year as a civil engineer in Germany before he emigrated to the United States in 1904. He later taught mathematics at Princeton University and from 1925 he was a member of the physics department at Columbia University. In 1925 he started to collaborate with Victor LaMer, which led to his joining the Department of Physics at Columbia University as an associate in 1927. This connection was a great opportunity. There were no teaching obligations; he had complete control of his own time and an abundance of new intriguing problems to address in physical chemistry and in atomic physics. He developed a solution to higher approximation in the Debye–Hückel theory. See also * Grönwa ...

Louis De Branges
Louis de Branges de Bourcia (born August 21, 1932) is a French-American mathematician. He is the Edward C. Elliott Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. He is best known for proving the long-standing Bieberbach conjecture in 1984, now called de Branges's theorem. He claims to have proved several important conjectures in mathematics, including the generalized Riemann hypothesis. Born to American parents who lived in Paris, de Branges moved to the US in 1941 with his mother and sisters. His native language is French. He did his undergraduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1949–53), and received a PhD in mathematics from Cornell University (1953–57). His advisors were Wolfgang Fuchs and then-future Purdue colleague Harry Pollard. He spent two years (1959–60) at the Institute for Advanced Study and another two (1961–62) at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. He was appointed to Purdue in 196 ...

Bieberbach Conjecture
In complex analysis, de Branges's theorem, or the Bieberbach conjecture, is a theorem that gives a necessary condition on a holomorphic function in order for it to map the open unit disk of the complex plane injectively to the complex plane. It was posed by and finally proven by . The statement concerns the Taylor coefficients a_n of a univalent function, i.e. a one-to-one holomorphic function that maps the unit disk into the complex plane, normalized as is always possible so that a_0=0 and a_1=1. That is, we consider a function defined on the open unit disk which is holomorphic and injective ('' univalent'') with Taylor series of the form :f(z)=z+\sum_ a_n z^n. Such functions are called ''schlicht''. The theorem then states that : , a_n, \leq n \quad \textn\geq 2. The Koebe function (see below) is a function in which a_n=n for all n, and it is schlicht, so we cannot find a stricter limit on the absolute value of the nth coefficient. Schlicht functions The normalizations : ...

Injective Function
In mathematics, an injective function (also known as injection, or one-to-one function) is a function that maps distinct elements of its domain to distinct elements; that is, implies . (Equivalently, implies in the equivalent contrapositive statement.) In other words, every element of the function's codomain is the image of one element of its domain. The term must not be confused with that refers to bijective functions, which are functions such that each element in the codomain is an image of exactly one element in the domain. A homomorphism between algebraic structures is a function that is compatible with the operations of the structures. For all common algebraic structures, and, in particular for vector spaces, an is also called a . However, in the more general context of category theory, the definition of a monomorphism differs from that of an injective homomorphism. This is thus a theorem that they are equivalent for algebraic structures; see for more details. ...

Univalent Function
In mathematics, in the branch of complex analysis, a holomorphic function on an open subset of the complex plane is called univalent if it is injective. Examples The function f \colon z \mapsto 2z + z^2 is univalent in the open unit disc, as f(z) = f(w) implies that f(z) - f(w) = (z-w)(z+w+2) = 0. As the second factor is non-zero in the open unit disc, f must be injective. Basic properties One can prove that if G and \Omega are two open connected sets in the complex plane, and :f: G \to \Omega is a univalent function such that f(G) = \Omega (that is, f is surjective), then the derivative of f is never zero, f is invertible, and its inverse f^ is also holomorphic. More, one has by the chain rule :(f^)'(f(z)) = \frac for all z in G. Comparison with real functions For real analytic functions, unlike for complex analytic (that is, holomorphic) functions, these statements fail to hold. For example, consider the function :f: (-1, 1) \to (-1, 1) \, given by ''ƒ''(''x'')& ...

Absolute Value
In mathematics, the absolute value or modulus of a real number x, is the non-negative value without regard to its sign. Namely, , x, =x if is a positive number, and , x, =-x if x is negative (in which case negating x makes -x positive), and For example, the absolute value of 3 and the absolute value of −3 is The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero. Generalisations of the absolute value for real numbers occur in a wide variety of mathematical settings. For example, an absolute value is also defined for the complex numbers, the quaternions, ordered rings, fields and vector spaces. The absolute value is closely related to the notions of magnitude, distance, and norm in various mathematical and physical contexts. Terminology and notation In 1806, Jean-Robert Argand introduced the term ''module'', meaning ''unit of measure'' in French, specifically for the ''complex'' absolute value,Oxford English Dictionary, Draft Revision, June 2008 an ...

Lebesgue Measure
In measure theory, a branch of mathematics, the Lebesgue measure, named after French mathematician Henri Lebesgue, is the standard way of assigning a measure to subsets of ''n''-dimensional Euclidean space. For ''n'' = 1, 2, or 3, it coincides with the standard measure of length, area, or volume. In general, it is also called ''n''-dimensional volume, ''n''-volume, or simply volume. It is used throughout real analysis, in particular to define Lebesgue integration. Sets that can be assigned a Lebesgue measure are called Lebesgue-measurable; the measure of the Lebesgue-measurable set ''A'' is here denoted by ''λ''(''A''). Henri Lebesgue described this measure in the year 1901, followed the next year by his description of the Lebesgue integral. Both were published as part of his dissertation in 1902. Definition For any interval I = ,b/math>, or I = (a, b), in the set \mathbb of real numbers, let \ell(I)= b - a denote its length. For any subset E\subseteq\mathbb, the Lebesgue oute ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...

Conformal Radius
In mathematics, the conformal radius is a way to measure the size of a simply connected planar domain ''D'' viewed from a point ''z'' in it. As opposed to notions using Euclidean distance (say, the radius of the largest inscribed disk with center ''z''), this notion is well-suited to use in complex analysis, in particular in conformal maps and conformal geometry. A closely related notion is the transfinite diameter or (logarithmic) capacity of a compact simply connected set ''D'', which can be considered as the inverse of the conformal radius of the complement ''E'' = ''Dc'' viewed from infinity. Definition Given a simply connected domain ''D'' ⊂ C, and a point ''z'' ∈ ''D'', by the Riemann mapping theorem there exists a unique conformal map ''f'' : ''D'' → D onto the unit disk (usually referred to as the uniformizing map) with ''f''(''z'') = 0 ∈ D and ''f''′(''z'') ∈ R+. The conformal radius of ''D'' from ''z'' is then defined as : \mathrm(z,D) := \frac\,. The simples ...
