We demonstrate that the combinations of these harmonic mappings are convex in the vertical direction provided they are locally univalent and sense-preserving. Furthermore, we extend this analysis to a more general case by setting specific conditions. Additionally, we take some common parameters such as as the dilatation of these harmonic mappings, and prove the sufficient conditions that their combinations are locally univalent and convex in the vertical direction. Several examples are constructed by the Mathematica software to demonstrate our main results.展开更多

Maps from O into S2 are said to satisfy tangent boundary conditions if the edges of O are mapped into the geodesics which contain them. Taking O to be an octant of S2, we compute the infimum Dirichlet energy 6(H) for continuous maps satisfying tangent boundary conditions of arbitrary homotopy type H. The expression for C(H) involves a topological invariant - the spelling length - associated with the (non-abelian) fundamental group of the n-times punctured two-sphere, π1(S2 - {s1,..., sn}, *). The lower bound for C(H) is obtained from combinatorial group theory arguments, while the upper bound is obtained by constructing explicit representatives which, on all but an arbitrarily small subset of O, are alternatively locally conformal or anticonformal. For conformal and anticonformal classes (classes containing wholly conformal and anticonformal representatives respectively), the expression for C(H) reduces to a previous result involving the degrees of a set of regular values sl,…… sn in the target 82 space. These degrees may be viewed as invariants associated with the abelianization of vr1(S2 - {s1,..., sn}, *). For nonconformal classes, however, ε(H) may be strictly greater than the abelian bound. This stems from the fact that, for nonconformal maps, the number of preimages of certain regular values may necessarily be strictly greater than the absolute value of their degrees. This work is motivated by the theoretical modelling of nematic liquid crystals in confined polyhedral geometries. The results imply new lower and upper bounds for the Dirichlet energy (one-constant Oseen-Frank energy) of reflection-symmetric tangent unitvector fields in a rectangular prism.展开更多
