Synopsis

Dual extremum problems associated with an infinite family of admissible loops on a Riemann surface are shown to be solvable by Jenkins-Strebel differentials. Then the inequalities associated with these problems are used to calculate the first derivatives of extremal length functionals on Teichmüller space and to estimate the difference quotients for the second derivatives of these functions.
