On a numerical algorithm for the solution of the radial Loewner equation

Abstract

The Loewner partial differential equation provides a one‐parametric family of conformal maps on the unit disk. The images describe a flow of an expanding simply‐connected domain, called the Loewner flow, on the complex plane. In this paper, we present a numerical algorithm for solving the radial Loewner partial differential equation. The algorithm is applied to visualization of Loewner flows with the performance and precision. From the theoretical point of view, our algorithm is based on a recursive formula for determining coefficients of polynomial approximations. We prove that each coefficient converges to true values with reasonable regularity.
