Our estimate improves the classical estimate $α\ge\|K_μ\|^{-1}$, where $K_μ=(1+|μ|)/(1-|μ|)$, and it is sharp, in the sense that it is actually attained in a class of mappings which generalize the radial stretchings. Some other properties of such mappings are also provided.9 pagesAnalysis of PDEsComplex Variables30C62; 35J25text
