7.4.2: Green's Function and Conformal Mapping
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
For two-dimensional domains there is a beautiful connection between conformal mapping and Green's function. Let w=f(z) be a conformal mapping from a sufficiently regular connected domain in R2 onto the interior of the unit circle, see Figure 7.4.2.1

Then the Green function of Ω is, see for example [16] or other text books about the theory of functions of one complex variable,
G(z,z0)=12πln|1−f(z)¯f(z0)f(z)−f(z0)|,
where z=x1+ix2, z0=y1+iy2.
