On a Dirichlet problem related to the invertibility of mappings arising in 2D grid generation problems

Abstract

this paper depends strongly on a theorem of Carleman-HartmanWintner. This theorem is only true in two dimensional domains. In fact a straightforward generalization to more than two dimensional domains cannot be true. A counterexample to the proof of [15]forthe three dimensional case can be found by using a special harmonic function due to Kellogg [12]. This function is shown in [2]. A direct counterexample can be found in [13]. 2 Main result on smooth domain
