We establish the existence and uniqueness of rational conformal maps of minimal degree $n+1$ for opening up $n$ arcs. In earlier results, the degree was exponential in $n$. We also discuss two related problems. (a) We establish existence of rational functions of minimal degree with prescribed critical values, and show that the number of (suitably normalized) rational functions is given in terms of the Hurwitz numbers. (b) We consider the problem of finding rational functions of minimal degree with prescribed critical points, where we establish existence of solutions by considering certain polynomial equations, and where the number of normalized solutions is bounded from above by a Catalan number. We illustrate our results with two examples.
