DOMAINS WITH CONVEX HYPERBOLIC RADIUS
L. V. Kovalev


Abstract.  The hyperbolic radius of a domain on the Riemann sphere is equal to the reciprocal of the density of the hyperbolic metric. In the present paper, it is proved that the hyperbolic radius is a convex function if and only if the complement of the domain is a convex set.
