If u 7→ A(u) is a C0,α-mapping, for 0 < α ≤ 1, having as values unbounded self-adjoint operators with compact resolvents and common domain of definition, parametrized by u in an (even infinite dimensional) space, then any continuous (in u) arrangement of the eigenvalues of A(u) is indeed C0,α in u. Theorem. Let U ⊆ E be a c∞-open subset in a convenient vector space E, and 0 < α ≤ 1. Let u 7→ A(...

Office workers are today often faced with the dilemma of being focused on the present activity and yet available for incoming calls on their mobile phone. Current technology does not support this situation. Many intrusive calls seem to occur as consequence of the lack of information about the recipient's context. The focus of this thesis is the initiation of mobile communication via mobile phon...

Mesoporous MCM-41 silicas anchored with sulfonic acid (–SO3H) groups (denoted MSN-SA) via postsynthesis modification are very effective for the Beckman rearrangement. A simple and convenient procedure for conversion of a variety oximes to their corresponding amides and lactams has been developed. The reaction was carried out in the presence of MSN-SA as the catalyst. The best results for conver...

SFI Working Papers contain accounts of scienti5ic work of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Santa Fe Institute. We accept papers intended for publication in peer-reviewed journals or proceedings volumes, but not papers that have already appeared in print. Except for papers by our external faculty, papers must be based on work done at SFI, inspired by an invited vis...
