Abstract
An algorithm is presented for the construction of conformal mappings from arbitrary simply connected regions in the complex plane onto the unit disk. The algorithm is based on a combination of the Kerzman–Stein integral equation (see [Math. Anal, 236 (1978), pp. 85–93]) and the Fast Multipole Method for the evaluation of Cauchy-type integrals (see [V. Rokhlin, J. Comput. Phys., 60 (1985), pp. 187–207], [L. Greengard and V. Rokhlin, J. Comput. Phys., 73 (1987), pp. 325–348], [J. Carrier, L. Greengard, and V. Rokhlin, SIAM J. Sci. Statist. Comput., 9 (1988), pp. 669–686], [L. F. Greengard, Ph.D. thesis, Department of Computer Science, Yale University, New Haven, CT, 1987]). Previously published methods for the construction of conformal mappings via the Kerzman–Stein equation have an asymptotic CPU time estimate of the order $O(n^2 )$, where n is the number of nodes in the discretization of the boundary of the region being mapped. The method presented here has an estimate of the order $O(n)$, making it an approach of choice in many situations. The performance of the algorithm is illustrated by several numerical examples.
