Abstract
Letg be the function which maps conformally a rectangleR onto a simply connected domainG so that the four vertices ofR are mapped respectively onto four specified pointsz 1,z 2,z 3,z 4 on∂G. This paper is concerned with the study of a domain decomposition method for computing approximations tog and to an associated domain functional in cases where: (i)G is bounded by two parallel straight lines and two Jordan arcs. (ii) The four pointsz 1,z 2,z 3,Z 4, are the corners where the two straight lines meet the two arcs.
