Abstract
By studying the mapping by heights for quadratic differentials introduced by Strebel, some relations have been established between the maximal norm sequence for quasisymmetric functions and the Hamilton sequence for extremal quasiconformal mappings in the unit disk. Consequently it is proved that a Hamilton sequence is only determined by e quasisymmetric function.
