In the so called outer polygon method, an approximative conformal mapping for a given simply connected region \Omega is constructed using a Schwarz-Christoffel mapping for an outer polygon, a polygonal region of which \Omega is a subset. The resulting region is then bounded by a C^\infty -curve, which among other things means that its curvature is bounded.
In this work, we study the curvature of an inner curve in a polygon, i.e., the image under the Schwarz-Christoffel mapping from R, the unit disk or upper halfplane, to a polygonal region P of a curve inside R. From the Schwarz-Christoffel formula, explicit expressions for the curvature are derived, and for boundary curves, appearing in the outer polygon method, estimations of boundaries for the curvature are given.
