Clunie and Sheil-Small's coefficient conjecture for normalized harmonic mappings

At least 11 years old · documented by

Let f=h+g‾∈SH0f=h+\overline{g}\in\mathcal{S}^0_H have the power-series representation

h(z)=z+∑n=2∞anzn,g(z)=∑n=1∞bnzn.h(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_nz^n,\qquad g(z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}b_nz^n.

Clunie–Sheil-Small coefficient conjecture. For every n≥2n\geq2,

∣an∣≤(n+1)(2n+1)6,∣bn∣≤(n−1)(2n−1)6,∣∣an∣−∣bn∣∣≤n.|a_n|\leq\frac{(n+1)(2n+1)}{6},\qquad |b_n|\leq\frac{(n-1)(2n-1)}{6},\qquad \bigl||a_n|-|b_n|\bigr|\leq n.

This is a central coefficient problem for sense-preserving univalent harmonic mappings, analogous to the Bieberbach conjecture for analytic univalent functions. The source identifies it as an open question.
