Sphere-valued Schwarz--Christoffel boundary extension #
Schwarz--Christoffel primitives with integrable finite vertices and logarithmic ends extend continuously to the closed upper half-plane in the Riemann sphere. This includes the parameter at infinity, whether its image is finite or infinite. Restricting this extension to the real projective line gives a continuous boundary parametrization for data with several ends.
Finite prevertices of total exponent greater than -1 retain their ordinary boundary values;
those of exponent -1 map to infinity. The parameter at infinity has a finite image in the
decaying range of the total exponent, and maps to infinity otherwise. No global injectivity or
boundary simplicity is assumed. In particular, several parameters can map to infinity, so
continuity does not assert that this parametrization is a Jordan curve.
The construction uses Mathlib's extendFrom into OnePoint ℂ to assemble the finite-vertex,
logarithmic-end and infinity limits of the primitive.

The canonical sphere-valued extension of the Schwarz--Christoffel primitive from the
upper half-plane. Its values on the compactified closed upper half-plane are genuine limits
when every finite prevertex has total exponent at least -1.

Instances For
The sphere boundary evaluates the sphere extension on the compactified real axis.
On the open upper half-plane, the sphere extension agrees with the primitive.
At an integrable real parameter, the sphere extension retains the finite boundary value.
A logarithmic real prevertex maps to infinity in the sphere extension.
At parameter infinity, the sphere-valued primitive approaches the finite vertex in the decaying range and infinity otherwise. This needs no assumptions on finite prevertices.
At parameter infinity, the sphere extension has the finite vertex in the decaying range and the point at infinity otherwise. This needs no assumptions on finite prevertices.
At an integrable real parameter, the sphere boundary retains the finite boundary value.
A logarithmic real prevertex maps to infinity in the sphere boundary.
The value of the sphere boundary at the compactifying parameter.
When all finite prevertices are integrable and the vertex at infinity is finite, the sphere boundary is the complex-valued compactified boundary embedded in the sphere.
When finite prevertices are integrable and the parameter at infinity maps to infinity, the finite spherical boundary values are exactly the ordinary boundary values.
The primitive approaches the sphere boundary from the whole upper half-plane, including at logarithmic ends.
Continuous spherical extension with multiple logarithmic ends. If every finite
prevertex has total exponent at least -1, the sphere extension is continuous on the
compactified closed upper half-plane. Neither ordering nor global univalence is required.
Continuous sphere boundary for several ends. Integrable finite vertices and any number of logarithmic prevertices assemble into a continuous map on the real projective line. The total exponent is unrestricted, so its compactifying parameter may have finite or infinite image.
