We suggest an approximate method of finding a conformal mapping of an annulus onto an arbitrary bounded doubly connected polygonal domain. The method is based on the parametric Loewner--Komatu method. We consider smooth one parameter families $\mathcal{F}(z,t)$ of conformal mappings of concentric annuli onto doubly connected polygonal domains $\mathcal{D}(t)$ which are obtained from a fixed doubly connected polygonal domain $\mathcal{D}$ by making a finite number of rectilinear slits of variable lengths; meanwhile we do not require the family of domains $\mathcal{D}(t)$ to be monotonous. The integral representation for the conformal mappings $\mathcal{F}(z,t)$ has unknown (accessory) parameters. We find a PDE for this family and then deduce a system of PDEs describing dynamics of accessory parameters and conformal modulus of $\mathcal{D}(t)$ when changing the parameter $t$. We note that the right-hand sides of equations in the system of ODEs involve functions standing for speeds of movement of the end points of the slits. This allows us to control completely dynamics of the slits and to seek their agreed change, if we have more than one slit. We also give some results of numerical calculations which show the efficiency of the suggested method., Comment: 24 pages, 4 figures

In this work, we study the distortion of the exterior conformal modulus of a symmetric quadrilateral, when stretched in the direction of the abscissa axis with the coefficient $H\to \infty$. By using some facts from the theory of elliptic integrals, we confirm that the asymptotic behavior of this modulus does not depend on the shape of the boundary of the quadrilateral; moreover, it is equivalent to $(1/\pi)\log H$ as $H\to \infty$., Comment: 13 pages
