In the early 1980's an elementary algorithm for computing conformal maps was discovered by R. K\"uhnau and the first author. The algorithm is fast and accurate, but convergence was not known. Given points z_0,...,z_n in the plane, the algorithm computes an explicit conformal map of the unit disk onto a region bounded by a Jordan curve \gamma with z_0,...,z_n \in \gamma. We prove convergence for Jordan regions in the sense of uniformly close boundaries, and give corresponding uniform estimates…

In his study of extremal problems for univalent functions, K. Lowner [11] (who later changed his name into C. Loewner) introduced the differential equation named after him. It was a key ingredient in
Numerical Solution of the Beltrami Equation
An effective algorithm is presented for solving the Beltrami equation fzbar = mu fz in a planar disk. The algorithm involves no evaluation of singular integrals. The strategy, working in concentric
Conformal Welding of Dendrites
We characterize the laminations that arise from conformal mappings onto planar dendrites whose complement is a John domain. This generalizes the well-known characterization of quasicircles via
Using a Zipper Algorithm to find a Conformal Map for a Channel with Smooth Boundary
The so called geodesic algorithm, which is one of the zipper algorithms for conformal mappings, is combined with a Schwarz–Christoffel mapping, in its original or in a modiﬁed form, to produce a co

Monte Carlo comparisons of the self-avoiding walk and SLE as parameterized curves
The scaling limit of the two-dimensional self-avoiding walk (SAW) is believed to be given by the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) with the parameter kappa equal to 8/3. The scaling limit of the SAW
