Conformal mapping has been a familiar tool of science and engineering for generations. Determination of a conformal map from the unit disk onto the Jordan region is reduced to solving the Theodorsen equation, which is an integral equation for boundary correspondence functions. There are many methods for solving the Theodorsen equation. It is the goal of numerical conformal mapping to find methods that are at once fast, accurate, and reliable. In this paper, we analyze Niethammer’s solution based on successive over-relaxation (SOR) iteration and Wegmann’s solution based on Newton iteration, and compare them to determine which one is more effective. Through several numerical experiments with these two methods, we can see that Niethammer’s method is more effective than Wegmann’s when the degree of the problem is low and Wegmann’s method is more effective than Niethammer’s when the degree of the problem is high.

Conformal mapping is useful to solve problems in heat conduction, electrostatic potential and fluid flow involving Laplace's equation in two independent variables. Determinations of conformal maps from the unit disk onto a Jordan region eventually requires solving the Theodorsen equation which is in general nonlinear with respect to the boundary correspondence function. H bner's method which has been well known for the efficient method among the many suggestions for the Theodorsen equation, was improved in early study[1, 2]. In this paper Wegmann's method is treated that is more efficient in computation cost rather than H bner's. But we found that a question which is divergent in some difficult problems by numerical experiment of Wegmann's iteration. We analyze theoretically the cause of divergence and propose an improved method by applying a low frequency filter to the Wegmann's method. Numerical experiments by our improved method show convergence for all divergent problems by Wegmann's method.

Conformal mapping is useful to solve problems in physics, engineering and so on. This paper is to discuss the numerical conformal mapping from the unit disk onto Jordan region, which can be solved by Theodorsen equation. Wegmann's method has been known as the most efficient one for the Theodorsen equation. However, we found divergence through numerical experiments by the iterative method of Wegmann. The divergence occurs especially when some degree of difficulty is high. We analyze the cause of divergence and propose an improved method by applying a low frequency pass filter to Wegmann's method. By this proposed method we can get a stable convergence for all the problems which was unstable with the Wegmann's method.

Conformal mapping has been a familiar tool of science and engineering for generations. The methods of numerical mapping are usually classified into those which construct the map from standard domain such as the unit disk onto the 'problem domain', and those which construct the map in the reverse direction. We treat numerical conformal mapping from the unit disk onto the Jordan regions as the problem domain in this paper. The traditional standard methods of this type are based on Theodorsen integral equation. Wegmann's method is well known as a Newton-like efficient one for solving Theodorsen equation. An improved method for convergence by applying low frequency pass filter to the Wegmann's method was proposed. In this paper we propose an effective algorithm for numerical conformal mapping based on the improved method. This algorithm is able to determine the discrete numbers and initial values automatically in accordance with the given region and the required accuracy. This results come from analyzing the shape of given domain as seen in the Fourier Transform.

Determinations of conformal map from the unit disk onto a Jordan region are reduced to solve the Theodorsen equation which is an integral equation for the boundary correspondence function. Among numerical conformal maps the Wegmann's method is well known as a Newton efficient one for solving Theodorsen equation. However this method has not so wide class of convergence. We proposed as an improved method for convergence by applying a low frequency filter to the Wegmann's method. In this paper, we investigate error analysis and propose an automatic algorithm based on this analysis.

저자는 등각사상을 추하기 위한 기존의 여러 Theodorsen 방정식의 해법 중 가장 유효한 해법으로 알려져 있는 Wegmann의 방법을 다룬바 있다. Wegmann의 방법으로 수치실험을 한 결과 난이도가 높다고 예상되는 문제에 있어 수렴했다가 발산을 하는 불안정현상이 나타났으며 수렴하지 않는 불안정현상의 원인을 분석하여 저주파필터를 적용한 새로운 반복법을 제안하여 Wegmann 방법으로는 발산하는 모든 문제에 있어서 수렴하는 수치실험 결과를 얻었다[1]. 본 논문에서는 저주파필터를 적용한 해법에 의해 수치적으로 수렴한 결과를 이론적으로 증명한다.

등각사상은 함수론의 기본적인 문제로 2차원 Laplace방정식이 나타나는 열전도, 정전(靜電) potential, 유체의 문제에 이용되는 등 공학이나 물리학에서 그 응용분야가 넓다. 수치등각사상의 목적은 보다 빠르고, 보다 정확하며, 보다 적용범위가 넓은 계산법을 연구하는데 있다. 단위원 내부로부터 Jordan 영역 내부로의 등각사상을 구하는 문제는 비선형 방정식인 Theodorsen 방정식을 푸는 것으로 귀결된다. Theodorsen 방정식에 관해서는 여러 가지 수치해법이 제안되어 있는데 본 논문에서는 그 중 SOR 법인 Niethammer와 Newton법인 Vertgeim의 방법을 다루어 비교, 분석하였다. 이 2가지 방법을 실제 계산기상에 실현시켜 수치실험을 하여 그 유효성을 비교, 분석한 결과 난이도가 낮은 문제에서는 Niethammer의 방법이 난이도가 높은 문제에서는 Vertgeim이 제안한 방법이 유효함을 알게 되었다.

The problem of determining the conformal maps from the unit disk onto a jordan region has been completed by solving the theodorsen equation that is nonlinear. For the hubners method, which has been well known for the efficient method among the many suggestions for the Theodorsen equation, it has been reproved in our early study that the convergence rate could be remarkably improved by exploring and applying a low-frequency pass filter[1]. However, in the Hubner's method with the low-frequency filter, the discrete numbers and parameters of the low-frequency filter were able to be acquired only by experience. In this paper we show algorithms that determine the discrete numbers and parameters of the low-frequency filter automatically in accordance with the given region. This results from analyzing the function, which decides the shape of the given domain under the assumption that the degree of the problem depends of the transformation of a given domain, as seen in the Fourier Transform.

The determination of the conformal maps from the unit disk onto a Jordan region has been completed by solving the Theodorsen equation which is an nonlinear equation for the boundary correspondence function. Wegmann's method has been well known for the efficient mothed among the many suggestions for the Theodorsen equation. We proposed an improved method for convergence by applying a low-frequency pass filter to the Wegmann's method and theoretically proved convergence of improved iteration[1, 2]. And we proposed an effective method which makes it possible to estimate an error even if the real value is nut acquired[3]. In this paper, we propose an automatic algorithm for numerical conformal mapping bared on this error analysis in our early study. By this algorithm numerical conformal mapping is determined automatically according to the given domain of problem and the required accuracy. The discrete numbers and parameters of the low-frequency filter were acquired only by experience. This algorithm, however, is able to determine the discrete numbers and parameters of the low-frequency filter automatically in accordance with the given region This results from analyzing the function, which may decide the shape of the given domain under the assumption that the degree of the problem depends of the transformation of a given domain, as seen in the Fourier Transform. This proposed algorithm is also ploved by numerical experience.
