Abstract

The problem of area distortion under quasiconformal mappings originates from the work of B. Boyarskii, see [1]. A number of results in this direction were obtained in [2–4]. An upper estimate for the area of the image of a disk under quasiconformal mappings first appeared in the monograph by M.O. Lavrentiev, see [5]. In the monograph [6] (see Theorem 3.7), a refinement of Lavrentiev's inequality in terms of angular dilatation is presented. In this paper, classes of ring \(Q\)-homeomorphisms in the complex plane are studied. Under the assumption that the function \(Q\) has finite mean \(l\)-oscillation at a point, upper estimates for the area of the image of a disk are obtained. In addition, asymptotic estimates of power-type growth of ring \(Q\)-homeomorphisms are established in terms of the limit inferior. Consequences of these results for Lebesgue points of the function \(Q\) are also derived. To illustrate the obtained results, examples confirming their effectiveness are provided. The proofs of the main results are based on auxiliary statements, in particular, on lemmas concerning the estimation of a singular integral for functions with finite mean \(l\)-oscillation and an upper estimate for the modulus of a family of curves connecting the boundary components of the image of a ring.
