Half-plane capacity 2026-09-24
The half-plane capacity of a compact H-hull is the nonnegative coefficient in
A compact H-hull is a bounded relatively closed set for which is a simply connected domain. The Riemann mapping theorem and hydrodynamic normalization at infinity give a unique mapping-out function of a compact H-hull with
The coefficient is the half-plane capacity .
For and , uniqueness of the normalized map gives
Substituting the expansion of yields
Therefore the scaling and translation of half-plane capacity is
