Estimation of dilatations for mappings more general than quasiregular mappings

Abstract

We consider the so-called ring $Q$-mappings, which are natural generalizations of quasiregular mappings in a sense of Väisälä’s geometric definition of moduli. It is shown that, under the condition of nondegeneracy of these mappings, their inner dilatation is majorized by a function $Q(x)$ to within a constant depending solely on the dimension of the space.
