On the Integrability Conditions for Some Structures Related to Evolution Differential Equations

Using the result by D. Gessler, we show that any invariant variational bivector (resp., variational 2-form) on an evolution equation with nondegenerate right-hand side is Hamiltonian (resp., symplectic).     

Partially Classical States of a Boson Field

Employing positive-definiteness arguments we analyse Boson field states, which combine classical and quantum mechanical features (signal and noise), in a constructive manner. Mathematically, they constitute Bauer simplexes within the convex, weak-*-compact state space of the C*-Weyl algebra, defined by a presymplectic test function space (smooth one-Boson wave functions) and are affinely homeomorphic to a state space of a classical field. The regular elements are expressed in terms of weak distributions (probability premeasures) on the dual test function space. The Bauer simplex arising from the bare vacuum is shown to generalize the quantum optical photon field states with positive P-functions.     

Synthesis of 5‐phenyl‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydro‐1,6‐naphthyridines and 5‐phenyl‐6,7,8,9‐tetrahydro‐5H‐pyrido[3,2‐c]azepines as potential D1 receptor ligands

A new access to 5‐phenyl‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydro‐1,6‐naphthyridines 25a‐28a (n=1) and 5‐phenyl‐6,7,8,9‐tetrahydro‐5H‐pyrido[3,2‐c]azepines 25b‐28b (n=2) has been developed by first preparing the functional pyridine moiety followed by intramolecular cyclization forming the partially reduced ring.     

Radical Couplings as Key Steps for the Preparation of Derivatives of Nonactic Acid

Summary. Free radical couplings from furan, as cheap starting material, were studied in view of developing a rapid strategy en route to the synthesis of derivatives of nonactin. The chain containing the alcohol function was introduced in one or two steps in 86% yield. For the introduction of the second chain with the ester function two different coupling methods were tested. Starting from the advanced intermediates obtained nonactin derivatives can be prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of the furan ring.     

The stationary and non-stationary stokes system in exterior domains with non-zero divergence and non-zero boundary values

In an exterior domain Ω??ⁿ, n ? 2, we consider the generalized Stokes resolvent problem in L^q-space where the divergence g = div u and inhomogeneous boundary values u = ψ with zero flux ∫_?Ωψ·N do = 0 may be prescribed. A crucial step in our approach is to find and to analyse the right space for the divergence g. We prove existence, uniqueness and a priori estimates of the solution and get new results for the divergence problem. Further, we consider the non-stationary Stokes system with non-homogeneous divergence and boundary values and prove estimates of the solution in L⁵(0, T;L^q(Ω)) for 1 < s, q < ∞.     

Covariance estimation under spatial dependence

Correlated multivariate processes have a dependence structure which must be taken into account when estimating the covariance matrix. The natural estimator of the covariance matrix is introduced and is shown that to be biased under the dependence structure. This bias is studied under two different asymptotic models, namely increasing the domain by increasing the number of observations, and increasing the number of observations in the fixed domain. Using the first asymptotic model, we quantify the convergence rate of the bias and of the covariance between the components of the estimated covariance matrix. The second asymptotic model serves to derive a fast and accurate bias correction. As shown, under mild hypotheses, the asymptotic normality of the estimated covariance matrix holds and can be used to test whether the bias is significant, for example, in the sense that the eigenvectors of the estimated and true covariance matrices are significantly different.
