Homogeneous renewal equation

Let F be a non-arithmetic distribution on the line , and W be the class of bounded functions w without discontinuity of the second kind such that

.In this paper, we show that the solution of the homogeneous renewal equation w = w F in the class W is a constant-function.

A generalization of the H-theorem to steady non-equilibrium states. Part 1: A basic decomposition and the linear case

A generalized relative entropy functional is associated to the evolution of gas in a container with (generally) non-uniform boundary data. A decomposition for its rate in ‘bulk’ and in ‘boundary’ terms is given; for the linear case both have a definite sign. The relation with the strong L₁ stability is pointed out.     

Asymptotics of Dirichlet Spectrum on Some Class of Noncompact Domains

We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the counting function of Dirichlet eigenvalues on some class of noncompact manifolds. We prove that in cases when the volume or the perimeter (the volume of the boundary) of the manifold is infinite, some additional (nonclassical) terms appear in the precise asymptotics. The coefficients at the classical terms in those are regularized in some special way volume (resp. perimeter) of the manifold.     

Kinetics of Hydrogen Peroxide Decomposition in Guaiacol Solution, Catalyzed by Hexacyanoferrate(II)

The kinetics of hydrogen peroxide decomposition in a guaiacol solution, catalyzed by potassium hexacyanoferrate(II), were studied. The reaction mainly follows the pathway of guaiacol hydroxylation. The reaction order is 1 with respect to H₂O₂, 0.5 with respect to hexacyanoferrate, and from 0.4 to 0 with respect to guaiacol (the latter parameter decreases with increasing guaiacol concentration). The apparent activation energy is 105 kJ mol^{- 1}. A kinetic scheme of the process was proposed. An expression consistent with the experiment was obtained for the rate of hydrogen peroxide decomposition in the presence of guaiacol, catalyzed by hexacyanoferrate(II).
