Estimates of the Dilatation Function of Beurling-Ahlfors Extension

In this paper, we prove that the control function of the dilatation function of Beurling-Ahlfors extension is convex. Using the quasi-symmetric function ρ, we get a relatively sharp estimate of the dilatation function: D(x,y)≤ 17/32 (ρ(x, y) + 1) (ρ(x + y/2, y/2) +ρ(x - y/2, y/2) +2) , which improves the results before. We also show that the above result is asymptotically precise.
