Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the quasiconformal self mappings f = f x of the unit disc E: |z| x denotes the complex dilatation of the mapping f . By continuation, f induces a homeomorphism of the boundary ∂E onto itself. The chapter presents a proof of Hamilton's theorem for the unit disc, based on the length-area method. The quadratic differentials φ n determined by the extremal quasiconformal mappings of the unit disc with n distinguished boundary points form a maximizing sequence for this integral. The chapter discusses an open problem regarding whether the condition (*) is also sufficient, in other words, whether the converse of Hamilton's theorem is true. The proof presented in the chapter makes use only of the length-area method and well-known properties of quadratic differentials with finite norm.
