Abstract

Let Γ(,λ)\Gamma(\cdot,\lambda) be smooth, i.e.\, C\mathcal C^\infty, embeddings from Ωˉ\bar{\Omega} onto Ωλˉ\bar{\Omega^{\lambda}}, where Ω\Omega and Ωλ\Omega^\lambda are bounded domains with smooth boundary in the complex plane and λ\lambda varies in I=[0,1]I=[0,1]. Suppose that Γ\Gamma is smooth on Ωˉ×I\bar\Omega\times I and ff is a smooth function on Ω×I\partial\Omega\times I. Let u(,λ)u(\cdot,\lambda) be the harmonic functions on Ωλ\Omega^\lambda with boundary values f(,λ)f(\cdot,\lambda). We show that u(Γ(z,λ),λ)u(\Gamma(z,\lambda),\lambda) is smooth on Ωˉ×I\bar\Omega\times I. Our main result is proved for suitable H\"older spaces for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems with parameter. By observing that the regularity of solutions of the two problems with parameter is not local, we show the existence of smooth embeddings Γ(,λ)\Gamma(\cdot,\lambda) from Dˉ\bar{\mathbb D}, the closure of the unit disc, onto Ωλˉ\bar{\Omega^\lambda} such that Γ\Gamma is smooth on Dˉ×I\bar{\mathbb D}\times I and real analytic at (1,0)Dˉ×I(\sqrt{-1},0)\in\bar{\mathbb D}\times I, but for every family of Riemann mappings R(,λ)R(\cdot,\lambda) from Ωλˉ\bar{\Omega^\lambda} onto Dˉ\bar{\mathbb D}, the function R(Γ(z,λ),λ)R(\Gamma(z,\lambda),\lambda) is not real analytic at (1,0)Dˉ×I(\sqrt{-1},0)\in\bar{\mathbb D}\times I.
