Conformal map of a circular lens
ID: conformal-map-of-a-circular-lens
Two intersecting circles bound a lens. A Möbius transformation sending their intersection points to zero and infinity sends the two boundary arcs to rays, and the lens to a sector. A suitable power straightens the sector to a half-plane. The chosen sector and its branch must be identified by an interior test point; merely squaring an arbitrary boundary-straightening map need not be injective on the intended domain. A Cayley transform then gives a conformal bijection to a disc.
