Extension of Laguerre polynomials with negative arguments

We consider the irreducibility of polynomial $L_n^{\left(\alpha \right)}\left(x\right)$ where $\alpha$ is a negative integer. We observe that the constant term of $L_n^{\left(\alpha \right)}\left(x\right)$ vanishes if and only if $n\ge \left|\alpha \right|=?\alpha$. Therefore we assume that $\alpha =?n?s?1$ where $s$ is a non-negative integer. Let $g\left(x\right)={(?1)}^n{L}_n^{(?n?s?1)}\left(x\right)=\sum _{j=0}^n{a}_j\frac{x^j}{j!}$ and more general polynomial, let $G\left(x\right)=\sum _{j=0}^n{a}_j{b}_j\frac{x^j}{j!}$ where $b_j$ with $0\le j\le n$ are integers such that $\left|b_0\right|=\left|b_n\right|=1$. Schur was the first to prove the irreducibility of $g\left(x\right)$ for $s=0$. It has been proved that $g\left(x\right)$ is irreducible for $0\le s\le 60$. In this paper, by a different method, we prove: Apart from finitely many explicitly given possibilities, either $G\left(x\right)$ is irreducible or $G\left(x\right)$ is linear factor times irreducible polynomial. This is a consequence of the estimate $s>1.9k$ whenever $G\left(x\right)$ has a factor of degree $k\ge 2$ and $(n,k,s)\ne (10,5,4)$. This sharpens earlier estimates of Shorey and Tijdeman and Nair and Shorey.     

Thermally induced solid-state transformation of cimetidine. A multi-spectroscopic/chemometrics determination of the kinetics of the process and structural elucidation of one of the products as a stable N3-enamino tautomer

Exposure of cimetidine (CIM) to dry heat (160–180 °C) afforded, upon cooling, a glassy solid containing new and hitherto unknown products. The kinetics of this process was studied by a second order chemometrics-assisted multi-spectroscopic approach. Proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), as well as ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopic data were jointly used, whereas multivariate curve resolution with alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) was employed as the chemometrics method to extract process information. It was established that drug degradation follows a first order kinetics.     

Harmonic mappings of the Sierpinski gasket to the circle

Harmonic mappings from the Sierpinski gasket to the circle are described explicitly in terms of boundary values and topological data. In particular, all such mappings minimize energy within a given homotopy class. Explicit formulas are also given for the energy of the mapping and its normal derivatives at boundary points.

     

A FUNDAMENTAL SOLUTION FOR THE LAPLACE OPERATOR ON THE QUATERNIONIC HEISENBERG GROUP

In this paper, the author studies the Laplace operator on the quaternionic Heisenberg group, construct a fundamental solution for it and use this solution to prove the Lp-boundedness and the weak (1-1) boundedness of certain singular convolution operators on the quaternionic Heisenberg group.     

Laguerre expansion on the Heisenberg group and Fourier-Bessel transform on C~n Dedicated to Professor Sheng GONG on the occasion of his 75th birthday

Given a principal value convolution on the Heisenberg group Hn = Cn×R, we study the relation between its Laguerre expansion and the Fourier-Bessel expansion of its limit on Cn. We also calculate the Dirichlet kernel for the Laguerre expansion on the group Hn.     

Singularity conjecture and constructions of Jacobi forms

This paper verifies the singularity conjecture for Jacobi forms with higher degree in some typical cases, and gives constructions for the Jacobi cusp forms whose Fourier coefficients can be expressed by some kind of Rankin-typeL-series.     

Some degenerate and quasilinear parabolic systems not in divergence form

This paper deals with positive solutions of degenerate and quasilinear parabolic systems not in divergence form: u_t=u^p(Δu+av), v_t=v^q(Δv+bu), with null Dirichlet boundary conditions and positive initial conditions, where p, q, a and b are all positive constants. The local existence and uniqueness of classical solution are proved. Moreover, it will be proved that all solutions exist globally if and only if ab?λ₁², where λ₁ is the first eigenvalue of −Δ in Ω with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition.     

Restrictions of Quadratic Forms to Lagrangian Planes,Quadratic Matrix Equations,and Gyroscopic Stabilization

We discuss the symplectic geometry of linear Hamiltonian systems with nondegenerate Hamiltonians. These systems can be reduced to linear second-order differential equations characteristic of linear oscillation theory. This reduction is related to the problem on the signatures of restrictions of quadratic forms to Lagrangian planes. We study vortex symplectic planes invariant with respect to linear Hamiltonian systems. These planes are determined by the solutions of quadratic matrix equations of a special form. New conditions for gyroscopic stabilization are found.     

What Is Its Real Existing Form?——Theoretical and Experimental Studies on 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole

1 INTRODUCTION The study of heterocyclic molecules with aroma- tic rings and their absorptions on metals is of con- siderable importance from both theoretical and te- chnological points of view. These molecules are in- teresting because of their applications as corrosion inhibitors and flotation collectors, and their abilities to form self-assembly layers[1]. 2-Mercaptobenzo- thiazole (C7H5NS2, in the following MBT) is an important heterocyclic molecule, which can be used as corrosion …     

Cochran's statistical theorem for outer inverses of matrices and matrix quadratic forms

We extend the matrix version of Cochran's statistical theorem to outer inverses of a matrix. As applications, we investigate the Wishartness and independence of matrix quadratic forms for Kronecker product covariance structures.
