A <compact H-hull> is a bounded relatively closed set $A\subset\mathbb H$ for which $\mathbb H\setminus A$ 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> $g_A:\mathbb H\setminus A\to\mathbb H$ with
$$
g_A(z)=z+\frac{a}{z}+O(|z|^{-2}).
$$
The coefficient $a\geq0$ is the <half-plane capacity> $\operatorname{hcap}(A)$.
For $\lambda>0$ and $x\in\mathbb R$, uniqueness of the normalized map gives
$$
g_{\lambda A+x}(z)=x+\lambda g_A\!\left(\frac{z-x}{\lambda}\right).
$$
Substituting the expansion of $g_A$ yields
$$
g_{\lambda A+x}(z)=z+\frac{\lambda^2a}{z-x}+O(|z|^{-2})=z+\frac{\lambda^2a}{z}+O(|z|^{-2}).
$$
Therefore the <scaling and translation of half-plane capacity> is
$$
\operatorname{hcap}(\lambda A+x)=\lambda^2\operatorname{hcap}(A).
