Abstract
This paper utilizes the method of extremal length to study several diameter problems
for functions conformal outside of a disc centered at the origin, with a standard normalization,
which possess a quasiconformal extension to a ring subdomain of this disc. Known results on the
diameter of a complementary component of the image domain of a univalent function are extended.
Applications to the transfinite diameters of families of non-overlapping functions and an extension
of the Koebe one-quarter theorem are included.
