Abstract

We give examples which (i) disprove a conjecture of Sheil-Small regarding the valence of harmonic mappings of the unit disc to bounded convex domains, and (ii) answer negatively a question of the author regarding the valence of harmonic mappings with polynomial analytic and co-analytic parts.
