“…It is not difficult to verify that a 1-linearly connected domain is convex. For extensive discussions on linearly connected domains, see [1,5,9,10,19]. In [10], the authors discussed the relationship between linear connectivity of the images of D under the planar harmonic mappings f = h + g and under their corresponding holomorphic counterparts h, where h and g are holomorphic in D. In [11,Theorem 5.3], Clunie and Sheil-Small established an effective and beautiful method of constructing sense-preserving univalent harmonic mappings defined on the unit disk, which is popularly called shear construction.…”
