Side lengths in the Schwarz--Christoffel formula #
The bounded side between two consecutive prevertices has length equal to the integral of the
absolute value of the Schwarz--Christoffel integrand over the interval between them. This file
packages that integral as TauCeti.schwarzChristoffelSideIntegral and identifies it with the
distance between the corresponding vertices.
This is the real equation in the Schwarz--Christoffel parameter problem: after the turning exponents have fixed the directions of the sides, the prevertices must be chosen so that these integrals have the prescribed side-length ratios. The proof also records interval integrability of the density. The only singularities on a bounded side occur at its endpoints; separating those two factors reduces integrability to Euler's beta integral.
Main results #
TauCeti.intervalIntegrable_schwarzChristoffelDensity-- the density is integrable between consecutive prevertices.TauCeti.schwarzChristoffelSideIntegral_pos-- every such side integral is positive.TauCeti.dist_schwarzChristoffelVertex_succ_eq_sideIntegral-- the integral is the geometric length of the corresponding polygon side.

positive and equals the geometric side length, as proved below.

Instances For
The Schwarz--Christoffel density is interval integrable between two distinct endpoints when
there is no nonzero-exponent prevertex in the open interval and the total exponent at each
endpoint is greater than -1.
For strictly ordered prevertices, the density is integrable between consecutive prevertices
when the two endpoint exponents are greater than -1.
The vector of a bounded Schwarz--Christoffel side is its density integral times the unit vector in the side's fixed direction.
The side-length integral is the Euclidean distance between the corresponding consecutive Schwarz--Christoffel vertices.
