Let$f=g$_{t}+$h$_{t}be the optimal decomposition for calculating the exact value of the$K$-functional$K(t, f$; $$\bar X$$ ) of an element$f$with respect to a couple $$\bar X$$ =($X$_{0},$X$_{1}) of Banach lattices of measurable functions. It is shown that this decomposition has a rather simple form in many cases where one of the spaces$X$_{0}and$X$_{1}is either$L$^{∞}or$L$^{1}. Many examples are given of couples of lattices $$\bar X$$ for which |$g$_{t}| increases monotonically a.e. with respect to$t$. It is shown that this property implies a sharpened estimate from above for the Brudnyi-Krugljak$K$-divisibility constant γ( $$\bar X$$ ) for the couple. But it is also shown that certain couples $$\bar X$$ do not have this property. These also provide examples of couples of lattices for which γ( $$\bar X$$ ).

Let$D$be a relatively compact domain in$C$^{2}with smooth connected boundary ∂$D$. A compact set$K⊂∂D$is called removable if any continuous CR function defined on ∂$D/K$admits a holomorphic extension to$D$. If$D$is strictly pseudoconvex, a theorem of B. Jöricke states that any compact$K$contained in a smooth totally real disc$S⊂∂D$is removable. In the present article we show that this theorem is true without any assumption on pseudoconvexity.

The Onsager's reciprocal relation plays a fundamental role in the nonequilibrium thermodynamics. However, unfortunately, its classical version is valid only within a narrow region near equilibrium due to the linear regression hypothesis, which largely restricts its usage. In this paper, based on the conservation-dissipation formalism, a generalized version of Onsager's relations for the master equations and Fokker-Planck equations was derived. Nonlinear constitutive relations with nonsymmetric and positively stable operators, which become symmetric under the detailed balance condition, constitute key features of this new generalization. Similar conclusions also hold for many other classical models in physics and chemistry, which in turn make the current study as a benchmark for the application of generalized Onsager's relations in nonequilibrium thermodynamics.
