Synthesis of Dialkyl 2‐(Alkylamino)‐4,9‐dihydro‐9‐oxocyclohepta[b]pyran‐3,4‐dicarboxylates

Dialkyl 2‐(alkylamino)‐4,9‐dihydro‐9‐oxocyclohepta[b]pyran‐3,4‐dicarboxylates are prepared in a one‐pot three‐component reaction of alkyl isocyanide, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate, and α‐tropolone (=2‐hydroxycyclohepta‐2,4,6‐trienone). The reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature and under neutral conditions to afford tropolone derivatives in high yield.

Binomial Sums and Functions of Exponential Type

Let (a_n)_n0 be a sequence of complex numbers, and, for n0, let A number of results are proved relating the growth of the sequences(b_n) and (c_n) to that of (a_n). For example, given p0, if b_n= O(n^p and for all > 0,then a_n=0 for all n > p. Also, given 0 < p < 1, then for all > 0 if and onlyif . It is further shown that, given rß > 1, if b_n,c_n=O(rßⁿ), then a_n=O(ⁿ),where , thereby proving a conjecture of Chalendar, Kellay and Ransford. The principal ingredientsof the proogs are a Phragmén-Lindelöf theorem forentire functions of exponential type zero, and an estimate forthe expected value of e^(X), where X is a Poisson random variable.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 05A10 (primary), 30D15,46H05, 60E15 (secondary).     

A Gleason–Kahane–Żelazko theorem for the Dirichlet space

We show that every linear functional on the Dirichlet space that is non-zero on nowhere-vanishing functions is necessarily a multiple of a point evaluation. Continuity of the functional is not assumed. As an application, we obtain a characterization of weighted composition operators on the Dirichlet space as being exactly those linear maps that send nowhere-vanishing functions to nowhere-vanishing functions.We also investigate possible extensions to weighted Dirichlet spaces with superharmonic weights. As part of our investigation, we are led to determine which of these spaces contain functions that map the unit disk onto the whole complex plane.     

Forcing strong convergence of Korpelevich’s method in Banach spaces with its applications in game theory

We develop a variant of Korpelevich’s method for solving variational inequality problems with pseudomonotone operators in Banach spaces. We establish the strong convergence of the sequence generated by the method under reasonable assumptions on the problem data. Finally, we justify the motivation of our theory by including compelling examples of infinite dimensional variational inequality problems for which our method is applicable.     

Algorithms for solutions of extended general mixed variational inequalities and fixed points

In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of extended general nonlinear mixed variational inequalities and a new class of extended general resolvent equations and establish the equivalence between the extended general nonlinear mixed variational inequalities and implicit fixed point problems as well as the extended general resolvent equations. Then by using this equivalent formulation, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of solution of the problem of extended general nonlinear mixed variational inequalities. Applying the aforesaid equivalent alternative formulation and a nearly uniformly Lipschitzian mapping S, we construct some new resolvent iterative algorithms for finding an element of set of the fixed points of nearly uniformly Lipschitzian mapping S which is the unique solution of the problem of extended general nonlinear mixed variational inequalities. We study convergence analysis of the suggested iterative schemes under some suitable conditions. We also suggest and analyze a class of extended general resolvent dynamical systems associated with the extended general nonlinear mixed variational inequalities and show that the trajectory of the solution of the extended general resolvent dynamical system converges globally exponentially to the unique solution of the extended general nonlinear mixed variational inequalities. The results presented in this paper extend and improve some known results in the literature.     

Tunable zeroth-order resonator based on a ferrite metamaterial structure

This paper proposes a tunable zeroth-order resonator on a composite right/left-handed transmission line consisting of a transversely magnetized ferrite substrate periodically loaded by microstrip inductors. Based on the propagation theory of edge guided modes, the analysis procedure of this structure is introduced. The numerical results demonstrate the tunability of the resonant frequency by changing the DC bias magnetic field applied to the ferrite. In contrast to previous work, the proposed structure is easy to design and fabricate and does not require a chip component.
