Abstract

Given a two-dimensional mapping U whose components solve a divergence structure elliptic equation,we give necessary and sufficient conditions on the boundary so that U is a global diffeomorphism.

Summary

Introduction

In [4], the present authors investigated, in the case of harmonic mappings, which additional conditions are needed for invertibility in the case of a possibly non-convex target D. In [4, Theorem 1.3] it is proven that, assuming = I , U is a diffeomorphism if and only if det DU > 0 everywhere on B. An improvement to this result, still in the harmonic case, is due to Kalaj [17].
