Summary: We obtain a representation for the norm of a composition operator on the Dirichlet space induced by a map of the form \(\varphi(z)=az+b\). We compare this result to an upper bound for \(\| C_{\varphi}\|\) that is valid whenever \(\varphi\) is univalent. Our work relies heavily on an adjoint formula recently discovered by E. A. Gallardo–Gutiérrez and A. Montes–Rodríguez [Math. Ann. 327, 117–134 (2003; Zbl 1048.47016)].
