Triangulation extensions of self-homeomorphisms of the real line

Abstract

For every sense-preserving self-homeomorphism of the real axis, Hubbard constructed an extension that is a self-homeomorphism of the upper half-plane by triangulation. It is natural to ask if such extensions of quasisymmetric homeomorphisms of the real axis are all quasiconformal. Furthermore, for what sense-preserving self- homeomorphisms are such extensions David mappings? In this article, a sufficient and necessary condition for such extensions to be quasiconformal and a sufficient condition for such extensions to be David mappings are given.
