Kokkinos, C.A.; Papamichael, N.; Sideridis, A.B.
An orthonormalization method for the approximate conformal mapping of multiply-connected domains.
(English)
[J] IMA J. Numer. Anal. 10, No.3, 343-359 (1990). ISSN 0272-4979; ISSN 1464-3642/e

The authors use a known orthogonalization method related to the Bergman kernel function to effectively carry out the conformal mapping of a finite domain G of connectivity $N\ge 2$ onto a circular ring with N-2 concentric circular slits, or onto other standard slit domains. Inner products are transformed into line integrals, and these are evaluated by Gauss-Legendre formulae. As basis functions the powers $z\sp m$ $(m=0,1,2,...)$ and $(z-a\sb j)\sp m$ $(m=2,3,...)$ are used (monomial basis') or singular functions added (augmented basis') whose purpose is to speed up the rate of approximation to the mapping function. Seven test examples, all of degree 3 or 4, show that the method can be recommended and that the augmented basis should be used whenever the mapping function is not regular on $\bar G.$
