A conformal map from an upper-half-plane domain has hydrodynamic normalization when at infinity. For a compact H-hull this normalization makes its mapping-out function of a compact H-hull unique.
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
