on conformal mapping of domains with variable boundaries
Let $\{D_n\}$ be a sequence of nested simply-connected domains in the complex $z$-plane, $\overline{D_{n+1}}\subset D_n$, which converges to its kernel $D_{z_0}$ relative to some point $z_0$; the set $D_{z_0}$ is assumed to be bounded by a Jordan curve. Then the sequence of functions $\{w=f_n(z)\}$ which map $D_n$ conformally onto the disc $\Delta=\{w:|w|<1\}$, $f_n(z_0)=0$, $f'_n(z_0)>0$, is uniformly convergent in the closed domain $\overline{D_{z_0}}$ to the function $w=f(z)$ which maps $D_{z_0}$ conformally onto $\Delta$, moreover $f(z_0)=0$, $f'(z_0)>0$.
This theorem, due to R. Courant [1], is an extension of the Carathéodory theorem.
