Compare the hull with the empty hull and the filled unit half-disc . Their mapping-out functions of compact H-hulls are and , the latter also giving the half-plane capacity of a half-disc.
Use one planar Brownian motion started at , with . For , exiting through entails avoiding , while exiting through this interval entails reaching it before exit from the whole half-plane. Thus the tail harmonic measures satisfyFor any of these fixed hulls , the Poisson kernel for the upper half-plane gives the exact tail formulaSubtract from , multiply by , and take the limit. The inequalities reverse, yielding the real boundary bounds:Applying this result to the reflected hull also givesThe comparison is of Brownian exit events, so it does not assume that arbitrary conformal maps are pointwise ordered by domain inclusion.
