Abstract
Let f denote the conformal map of a domain interior (exterior) to a closed Jordan curve onto the interior (exterior) of the unit circle. In this paper, we explain how the corner singularities of the of the derivative of the boundary correspondence function can be represented by Jacobi weight functions, and study the convergence properties of an associated Fourier-Jacobi method for approximating this derivative. The practical significance of this work is that some of the best known methods for approximating f are based on integral equations for either the boundary correspondence function or its derivative.
