on conformal mapping of domains with variable boundaries

Let be a sequence of nested simply-connected domains in the complex -plane, , which converges to its kernel relative to some point ; the set is assumed to be bounded by a Jordan curve. Then the sequence of functions which map conformally onto the disc , , , is uniformly convergent in the closed domain to the function which maps conformally onto , moreover , .

This theorem, due to R. Courant , is an extension of the Carathéodory theorem.
