We present a method for numerical computation of conformal mappings from simply or doubly connected domains onto so-called canonical domains, which in our case are rectangles or annuli. The method is based on conjugate harmonic functions and properties of quadrilaterals. Several numerical examples are given.

Abstract. In this paper, we study harmonic mappings by using the shear construction, introduced by Clunie and Sheil-Small in 1984. We consider two classes of conformal mappings, each of which maps the unit disk D univalently onto a domain which is convex in the horizontal direction, and shear these mappings with suitable dilatations ω. Mappings of the first class map the unit disk D onto four-slit domains and mappings of the second class take D onto regular n-gons. In addition, we discuss the minimal surfaces associated with such harmonic mappings. Furthermore, illustrations of mappings and associated minimal surfaces are given by using MATH-EMATICA.

In this article we introduce a numerical algorithm for finding harmonic mappings by using the shear construction introduced by Clunie and Sheil-Small in 1984. The MATLAB implementation of the algorithm is based on the numerical conformal mapping package, the Schwarz-Christoffel toolbox, by T. Driscoll. Several numerical examples are given. In addition, we discuss briefly the minimal surfaces associated with harmonic mappings and give a numerical example of minimal surfaces.

The conjugate function method is an algorithm for numerical computation of conformal mappings for simply and doubly connected domains. In this paper the conjugate function method is generalized for multiply connected domains. The key challenge addressed here is the construction of the conjugate domain and the associated conjugate problem. All variants of the method preserve the so-called reciprocal relation of the moduli. An implementation of the algorithm, along with several examples and illustrations are given.
