Let Ω1 and Ω2 be two domains in the complex plane with a nonempty intersection. Suppose that μj are locally extremal Beltrami coefficients in Ωj (j = 1, 2) respectively. In 1980, Sheretov posed the problem: Will the coefficient μ defined by the condition μ(z) = μj(z) for z ∈ Ωj, j = 1, 2, be locally extremal in Ω1 ∪ Ω2? We give a counterexample to show that μ may not be locally extremal and not even be extremal.
