Concave functions, blaschke products, and polygonal mappings

We consider the class Co(p) of all conformal maps of the unit disk onto the exterior of a bounded convex set. We prove that the triangle mappings, i.e., the functions that map the unit disk onto the exterior of a triangle, are among the extreme points of the closed convex hull of Co(p). Moreover, we prove a conjecture on the closed convex hull of Co(p) for all p ∈ (0, 1) which had partially been proved by the authors for some values of p ∈ (0, 1). © 2009 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
