“…The result of existence and uniqueness of the solution was formulated and proved by Chebyshev and Grave: if Ω is a simply connected domain bounded by a twice differentiable curve, then there exists one, and, up to a similarity transformation of the plane, only one conformal mapping which minimizes the distortion coefficient δ (see [10,15]). The explicit form for the minimum distortion mapping was given in [3,5] for the spherical disk Ω γ ,P consisting of the points P = (a, λ, θ ) such that d S P , P aγ , where d S P , · is the spherical distance to the centerpointP = a,λ,θ and aγ (γ ∈ (0, π)) is the spherical radius (see Fig. 2).…”
