REMARKS ON THE CONDITIONS FOR UNIQUE EXTREMALITY OF QUASICONFORMAL MAPPINGSEdgar ReichUniversity of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A.Abstract: In work dating to 1981, two different sufficient conditions for unique extremality of quasiconformal mappings, referred to here as Theorem A and Theorem B were found. In the case of Theorem A, the condition is now known to also be necessary. In spite of this, Theorem B has been found to be the more useful of the two conditions in delicate situations. However, the question of whether the conditions of Theorem B are necessary is still open. We discuss some matters relevant to this problem. As a new illustration of Theorem B, we show that it can be used to give a self-contained proof of a result of Strebel's.
