| Abstract | By the Riemann mapping theorem, one can bijectively map the interior of an n-gon P to that of another n-gon Q conformally (i.e., in an angle-preserving manner). However, when this map is extended to the boundary, it need not necessarily map the vertices of P to those of Q. For many applications, it is important to find the “best” vertex-preserving mapping between two polygons, i.e., one that minimizes the maximum angle distortion (the so-called dilatation). Such maps exist, are unique, and are known as extremal quasiconformal maps or Teichmüller maps. There are many efficient ways to approximate conformal maps, and the recent breakthrough result by Bishop computes a $$(1+\varepsilon )$$ -approximation of the Riemann map in linear time. However, only heuristics have been studied in the case of Teichmüller maps. This paper solves the problem of finding a finite-time procedure for approximating Teichmüller maps in the continuous setting. Our construction is via an iterative procedure that is proven to converge in $$O(\text {poly}(1/\varepsilon ))$$ iterations to a map whose dilatation is at most $$\varepsilon $$ more than that of the Teichmüller map, for any $$\varepsilon >0$$ . We reduce the problem of finding an approximation algorithm for computing Teichmüller maps to two basic subroutines, namely, computing discrete (1) compositions and (2) inverses of discretely represented quasiconformal maps. Assuming finite-time solvers for these subroutines, we provide an approximation algorithm with an additive error of at most $$\varepsilon $$ . |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
