โฆ Synopsis
Many classical results of geometric function theory extend to harmonic mappings, but basic questions remain unresolved. This book is the first comprehensive account of the theory of planar harmonic mappings, treating both the generalizations of univalent analytic functions and the connections with minimal surfaces. It contains background material in complex analysis and a full development of the classical theory of minimal surfaces, including the Weierstrass-Enneper representation. It introduces non-specialists to a beautiful area of complex analysis and geometry.

A class of harmonic univalent mappings is constructed by applying the method of Clunie and Sheil-Small. These mappings, assuming their values in a half-plane with a vertical boundary, omit two vertical half-lines symmetric w.r.t. the real axis. Several basic properties are proved.
