Wegmann's method has been known as the most efficient one for the Theodorsen equation that is needed to solve conformal mapping. It was researched in the earlier studies (1). However divergence was revealed in some difficult problems by numerical experiment using Wegmann's method. We analyzed the cause of divergence and proposed an improved method by applying a low frequency pass filter to Wegmann's method. Numerical experiments using the improved method showed convergence for all divergent problems using the Wegmann's method. In this paper, we prove theroretically the cause of convergence in the Numerical experiment using the improved method by applying a low frequency pass filter to Wegmann's method. We make use of Fourier transforms in this theoretical proof of convergence.

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.

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.

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.

The purpose of numerical analysis is to design an effective algorithm to realize some mathematical model on computer. In general the approximate value, which is obtained from computer operation, is not the same as the real value that is given by mathematical theory. Therefore the mr estimate measuring how approximate value is near to the real value, is the most significant task to evaluate the efficiency of algorithm. The limit of an error is used for mr estimation at the most case, but the exact mr evaluation could not be expected to get for there is no way to know the real value of the given problem. Wegmann's method has been researched, which is one of the solution to derive the numerical conformal mapping. We proposed an improved method for convergency by applying a low frequency filter to the Wegmann's method. In this paper we investigate error analysis based on some mathematical theory and propose an effective method which makes us able to estimate an error if the real value is not acquired. This kind of proposed method is also proved by numerical experiment.

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.

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.

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.

단위원의 내부로부터 Jordan 영역으로의 등각사상을 구하는 것은 일반적으로 경계대응함수에 관한 Theodorsen 방정식을 푸는 것으로 귀결된다. 저자는 이 비선형 방정식의 수치적 해법 중 가장 효율적인 방법으로 알려진 Wegmann의 해법을 저주파 필터를 적용하여 개량한 바 있다. 또한 이 해법에 있어 참값을 모르더라도 오차평가가 가능한 방법을 제안하였다 [1,2]. 본 논문에서는 참값을 모르더라도 오차평가가 가능한 연구결과를 이용하여 저주파필터를 적용한 Wegmann 방법에서 지금까지 경험에 의존했었던 표본수와 저주파필터의 파라메터가 주어진 문제 영역에 따라 자동적으로 결정되는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이것은 문제의 난이도가 문제영역의 변형에 의존한다는 전제로 문제영역의 모양을 결정하는 함수를 Fourier 급수로 분석하여 얻을 수 있다. 수치실험을 통해 그 유효성을 입증한다.
