Limit Theorems for Classical, Freely and Boolean Max-Infinitely Divisible Distributions
We investigate a Belinschi–Nica-type semigroup for free and Boolean max-convolutions. We prove that this semigroup at time one connects limit theorems for freely and Boolean max-infinitely divisible distributi...

Open AccessPhotocatalytic hydrogen peroxide splitting on metal-free powders assisted by phosphoric acid as a stabilizer
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has received increasing attention as an energy carrier. To achieve a sustainable energy society, photocatalytic H2O2 splitting (H2O2 (l) → H2 (g) + O2 (g); ΔG° = + 131 kJ mol−1) is a desi...

Free Self-decomposability and Unimodality of the Fuss–Catalan Distributions
We study properties of the Fuss–Catalan distributions \(\mu (p,r)\)μ(p,r), \(p\ge 1\)p≥1, \(0<r\le p\)0<r≤p: free infinite divisibility, free self-decomposability, free regularity and unimodality. We show that th...

The inf-sup condition and error estimates of the Nitsche method for evolutionary diffusion–advection-reaction equations
The Nitsche method is a method of “weak imposition” of the inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions for partial differential equations. This paper explains stability and convergence study of the Nitsche met...

Systematic changes in the perceived posture of the wrist and elbow during formation of a phantom hand and arm
Our previous study showed that a fully flexed or extended hand became perceived as an extended or flexed ‘phantom’ hand as ischemic anesthesia progressed (Inui et al. in J Physiol 589:5775–5784, 2011). Here, we e...
