Abstract

The harmonic mapping problem asks when there exists a harmonic homeomorphism between two given domains. It arises in the theory of minimal surfaces and in the calculus of variations, specifically in hyperelasticity theory. We investigate this problem for doubly connected domains in the plane, where it already presents a considerable challenge and leads to several interesting open questions.
