Abstract
In this paper the Poincaré (or hyperbolic) metric and the associated distance are investigated for a plane domain based on the detailed properties of those for the particular domain [InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.] In particular another proof of a recent result of Gardiner and Lakic is given with explicit constant. This and some other constants in this paper involve particular values of complete elliptic integrals and related special functions. A concrete estimate for the hyperbolic distance near a boundary point is also given from which refinements of Littlewood's theorem are derived. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
