Nickel‐Catalyzed Barton Decarboxylation and Giese Reactions: A Practical Take on Classic Transforms

Two named reactions of fundamental importance and paramount utility in organic synthesis have been reinvestigated, the Barton decarboxylation and Giese radical conjugate addition. N ‐hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) based redox‐active esters were found to be convenient starting materials for simple, thermal, Ni‐catalyzed radical formation and subsequent trapping with either a hydrogen atom source (PhSiH₃) or an electron‐deficient olefin. These reactions feature operational simplicity, inexpensive reagents, and enhanced scope as evidenced by examples in the realm of peptide chemistry.     

Recursion relations for the constrained multi-component KP hierarchy

In this paper, we define a new constrained multi-component KP(cMKP) hierarchy which contains the constrained KP(cKP) hierarchy as a special case. We derive the recursion operator of the constrained multi-component KP hierarchy. As a special example, we also give the recursion operator of the constrained two-component KP hierarchy.     

Numerical solution of a singular integral equation arising in a cruciform crack problem

A singular integral equation arising in a cruciform crack problem is investigated in the present paper. Based on the convex technique, the piecewise Taylor-series expansion method is extended by introducing a weight parameter. An approximate solution of the singular integral equation is constructed and its convergence and error estimate are made. The variations of the approximate solutions associating with stress intensity factors are analyzed by considering internal pressures of power and sine functions, respectively. By comparing with the known methods, the observations reveal that a good approximation can be achieved using less derivative times, less discretization points, and a suitable weight parameter. The obtained results show that the crack growth is dependent on applied mechanical loadings.     

Two homoclinic solutions for a nonperiodic fourth‐order differential equation without coercive condition

In this paper, we investigate the existence of homoclinic solutions for a class of fourth‐order nonautonomous differential equations where w is a constant, and . By using variational methods and the mountain pass theorem, some new results on the existence of homoclinic solutions are obtained under some suitable assumptions. The interesting is that a(x) and f(x,u) are nonperiodic in x,a does not fulfil the coercive condition, and f does not satisfy the well‐known (AR)‐condition. Furthermore, the main result partly answers the open problem proposed by Zhang and Yuan in the paper titled with Homoclinic solutions for a nonperiodic fourth‐order differential equations without coercive conditions (see Appl. Math. Comput. 2015; 250:280–286). Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Existence of three solutions for quasilinear elliptic equations: an Orlicz-Sobolev space setting

Blow‐up phenomena for a semilinear parabolic equation with weighted inner absorption under nonlinear boundary flux

Blow‐up phenomena for a nonlinear divergence form parabolic equation with weighted inner absorption term are investigated under nonlinear boundary flux in a bounded star‐shaped region. We assume some conditions on weight function and nonlinearities to guarantee that the solution exists globally or blows up at finite time. Moreover, by virtue of the modified differential inequality, upper and lower bounds for the blow‐up time of the solution are derived in higher dimensional spaces. Three examples are presented to illustrate applications of our results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A DECAGONAL QUASICRYSTAL WITH AN ARC-SHAPED CRACK

A decagonal quasicrystal,which is weakened by an arc-shaped crack penetratingthrough the solid in the period direction,and which is subjected to remote uniform phonon stresses,is investigated by applying the complex variable method which is just developed by the authors.It is found that the phonon and phason stresses near the crack tips exhibit inverse square rootsingularities.The four complex stress functions characterizing the phonon and phason fields arederived.Explicit expressions for the phonon and phason stress intensity factors,crack openingdisplacements and energy release rate are also presented.
