Solvation Rule for Solid‐Electrolyte Interphase Enabler in Lithium‐Metal Batteries

Despite the exceptionally high energy density of lithium metal anodes, the practical application of lithium‐metal batteries (LMBs) is still impeded by the instability of the interphase between the lithium metal and the electrolyte. To formulate a functional electrolyte system that can stabilize the lithium‐metal anode, the solvation behavior of the solvent molecules must be understood because the electrochemical properties of a solvent can be heavily influenced by its solvation status. We unambiguously demonstrated the solvation rule for the solid‐electrolyte interphase (SEI) enabler in an electrolyte system. In this study, fluoroethylene carbonate was used as the SEI enabler due to its ability to form a robust SEI on the lithium metal surface, allowing relatively stable LMB cycling. The results revealed that the solvation number of fluoroethylene carbonate must be ≥1 to ensure the formation of a stable SEI in which the sacrificial reduction of the SEI enabler subsequently leads to the stable cycling of LMBs.

A Ramsey‐type problem and the Turán numbers*

For each n and k, we examine bounds on the largest number m so that for any k‐coloring of the edges of K_n there exists a copy of K_m whose edges receive at most k?1 colors. We show that for , the largest value of m is asymptotically equal to the Turá number , while for any constant then the largest m is asymptotically larger than that Turá number. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Small Ball Probabilities of Fractional Brownian Sheets via Fractional Integration Operators

We investigate the small ball problem for d-dimensional fractional Brownian sheets by functional analytic methods. For this reason we show that integration operators of Riemann–Liouville and Weyl type are very close in the sense of their approximation properties, i.e., the Kolmogorov and entropy numbers of their difference tend to zero exponentially. This allows us to carry over properties of the Weyl operator to the Riemann–Liouville one, leading to sharp small ball estimates for some fractional Brownian sheets. In particular, we extend Talagrand's estimate for the 2-dimensional Brownian sheet to the fractional case. When passing from dimension 1 to dimension d2, we use a quite general estimate for the Kolmogorov numbers of the tensor products of linear operators.     

Generalized One-Sided Laws for the Larger Observations of a Triangular Array

Consider independent and identically distributed random variables {X,X _nj , 1jn,n1} with density f(x)=px ^–p–1 I(x1), where p>0. We show that there exist unusual generalized Laws of the Iterated Logarithm involving the larger order statistics from our array.     

Metric entropy of convex hulls in type spaces--The critical case

Given a precompact subset of a type Banach space , where , we prove that for every and all

We also prove that this estimate is asymptotically optimal whenever has no better type than . For this answers a question raised by Carl, Kyrezi, and Pajor which has been solved up to now only for the Hilbert space case by F. Gao.

     

Explicit bounds and heuristics on class numbers in hyperelliptic function fields

In this paper, we provide tight estimates for the divisor class number of hyperelliptic function fields. We extend the existing methods to any hyperelliptic function field and improve the previous bounds by a factor proportional to with the help of new results. We thus obtain a faster method of computing regulators and class numbers. Furthermore, we provide experimental data and heuristics on the distribution of the class number within the bounds on the class number. These heuristics are based on recent results by Katz and Sarnak. Our numerical results and the heuristics imply that our approximation is in general far better than the bounds suggest.

     

Some computations on the spectra of Pisot and Salem numbers

Properties of Pisot numbers have long been of interest. One line of questioning, initiated by Erdos, Joó and Komornik in 1990, is the determination of for Pisot numbers , where

Although the quantity is known for some Pisot numbers , there has been no general method for computing . This paper gives such an algorithm. With this algorithm, some properties of and its generalizations are investigated.

A related question concerns the analogy of , denoted , where the coefficients are restricted to ; in particular, for which non-Pisot numbers is nonzero? This paper finds an infinite class of Salem numbers where .
