On reduced Beltrami equations and linear families of quasiregular mappings.

This paper studies linear classes of planar quasiregular mappings. We give a positive answer to a conjecture of K. Astala, T. Iwaniec, and G. Martin (2009) on reduced Beltrami equations. Moreover, we use it to prove a Wronsky-type theorem for general linear Beltrami systems. This is a key to show that the associated Beltrami equation of a linear quasiregular family is unique.
