Description
Geometric Function Theory is a central part of Complex Analysis (one complex variable). The Handbook of Complex Analysis - Geometric Function
Theory deals with this field and its many ramifications and relations to other areas of mathematics and physics. The theory of conformal
and quasiconformal mappings plays a central role in this Handbook, for example a priori-estimates for these mappings which arise from
solving extremal problems, and constructive methods are considered. As a new field the theory of circle packings which goes back to P.
Koebe is included. The Handbook should be useful for experts as well as for mathematicians working in other areas, as well as for physicists
and engineers.
