Capacités et processus stochastiques (Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete. 2. Folge #67)

by Claude Dellacherie

This book consists of two sections. The first section (A) is dealing with sets, capacities and measures of sets, giving elementary but deep theorems about approximation of measures and capacities for instance by compact sets. Besides concepts such as "paving capacity" and "capacibility" several modern and quite new concepts such as "capacitance", "mosaic", "envelope", and "scarper" ("rabotage") are introduces in order to describe refinements of the structure of classes of sets. Using these concepts the author proves in a new way know theorems such as Choquet's theorem in abstract form and he also gives new theorems for instance theorems about analytic sets. The second section (B) presents a general theory of stochastic processes but is mainly concerned with fundaments. It gives a far-reaching theory of stopping times and q-fields belonging to stopping times and classifications of stopping times and q-fields. This theory is then applied to stochastic processes, particularly to processes with realizations that are increasing functions. This book is well-fitted for researchers, who need a thorough knowledge of stochastic processes. H. Bergström.

Les douleurs abdominales en questions: Rôle physiopathologique de la sensibilité viscérale (Collection Springer Digest)

by Michel Delvaux

L'axe cerveau-intestin désigne l’ensemble des voies nerveuses qui relient le plexus myentérique, véritable cerveau intestinal, et le système nerveux central. Près de 80 % de ces neurones sont des neurones sensitifs et les voies afférentes qui transmettent les informations du tractus digestif vers le système nerveux central jouent un rôle important dans la régulation physiologique des fonctions digestives ainsi que dans certains états pathologiques. Une large majorité de ces sensations restent inconscientes et donnent naissance à des réponses réflexes. Seules celles qui demandent une réponse contrôlée par la volonté atteignent le niveau de conscience à l’état normal (faim, soif, besoin de déféquer). En situation pathologique, il en va de même pour les sensations douloureuses d’origine digestive. Les troubles fonctionnels intestinaux sont un motif fréquent de consultation. Leur physiopathologie est aujourd’hui fondée sur un modèle intégrant les différents facteurs étiologiques autour de l’axe cerveau-intestin. Ces patients présentent fréquemment une hypersensibilité viscérale qui se traduit par une perception accrue des sensations digestives et notamment l’apparition d’une douleur en réponse à des stimuli non douloureux chez des sujets normaux. La reconnaissance du rôle de l’hypersensibilité viscérale a permis d’expliquer le mode d’action de médicaments utilisés pour le traitement des troubles fonctionnels intestinaux et ouvre la voie au développement de nouvelles molécules agissant au niveau des afférences digestives. Dans cet ouvrage, nous décrirons les bases anatomiques et physiologiques qui permettent de comprendre le concept de sensibilité viscérale et le rôle des afférences digestives dans la physiopathologie des douleurs abdominales aiguës et chroniques, en particulier le syndrome de l’intestin irritable.

Margins of Philosophy

by Jacques Derrida

"In this densely imbricated volume Derrida pursues his devoted, relentless dismantling of the philosophical tradition, the tradition of Plato, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger—each dealt with in one or more of the essays. There are essays too on linguistics (Saussure, Benveniste, Austin) and on the nature of metaphor ("White Mythology"), the latter with important implications for literary theory. Derrida is fully in control of a dazzling stylistic register in this book—a source of true illumination for those prepared to follow his arduous path. Bass is a superb translator and annotator. His notes on the multilingual allusions and puns are a great service."—Alexander Gelley, Library Journal

Positions: Revised Edition (Athlone Contemporary European Thinkers Ser.)

by Jacques Derrida

Positions is a collection of three interviews with Jacques Derrida that illuminate and make more accessible the complex concepts and terms treated extensively in such works as Writing and Difference and Dissemination. Derrida takes positions on his detractors, his supporters, and the two major preoccupations of French intellectual life, Marxism and psychoanalysis. The interviews included in this volume offer a multifaceted view of Derrida. "Implications: Interview with Henri Ronse" contains a succinct statement of principles. "Seminology and Grammatology: Interview with Julia Kristeva" provides important clarifications of the role played by linguistics in Derrida's work. "Positions: Interview with Jean-Louis Houdebine and Guy Scarpetta" is a wide-ranging discussion that touches on many of the polemics that Derrida's work has provoked. Alan Bass, whose translation of Writing and Difference was highly praised for its clarity, accuracy, and readability, has provided extremely useful critical notes, full of vital information, including historical background.

The Post Card: From Socrates to Freud and Beyond

by Jacques Derrida

17 November 1979 You were reading a somewhat retro loveletter, the last in history. But you have not yet received it. Yes, its lack or excess of address prepares it to fall into all hands: a post card, an open letter in which the secret appears, but indecipherably. What does a post card want to say to you? On what conditions is it possible? Its destination traverses you, you no longer know who you are. At the very instant when from its address it interpellates, you, uniquely you, instead of reaching you it divides you or sets you aside, occasionally overlooks you. And you love and you do not love, it makes of you what you wish, it takes you, it leaves you, it gives you. On the other side of the card, look, a proposition is made to you, S and p, Socrates and plato. For once the former seems to write, and with his other hand he is even scratching. But what is Plato doing with his outstretched finger in his back? While you occupy yourself with turning it around in every direction, it is the picture that turns you around like a letter, in advance it deciphers you, it preoccupies space, it procures your words and gestures, all the bodies that you believe you invent in order to determine its outline. You find yourself, you, yourself, on its path. The thick support of the card, a book heavy and light, is also the specter of this scene, the analysis between Socrates and Plato, on the program of several others. Like the soothsayer, a "fortune-telling book" watches over and speculates on that-which-must-happen, on what it indeed might mean to happen, to arrive, to have to happen or arrive, to let or to make happen or arrive, to destine, to address, to send, to legate, to inherit, etc., if it all still signifies, between here and there, the near and the far, da und fort, the one or the other. You situate the subject of the book: between the posts and the analytic movement, the pleasure principle and the history of telecommunications, the post card and the purloined letter, in a word the transference from Socrates to Freud, and beyond. This satire of epistolary literature had to be farci, stuffed with addresses, postal codes, crypted missives, anonymous letters, all of it confided to so many modes, genres, and tones. In it I also abuse dates, signatures, titles or references, language itself. J. D. "With The Post Card, as with Glas, Derrida appears more as writer than as philosopher. Or we could say that here, in what is in part a mock epistolary novel (the long section is called "Envois," roughly, "dispatches" ), he stages his writing more overtly than in the scholarly works. . . . The Post Card also contains a series of self-reflective essays, largely focused on Freud, in which Derrida is beautifully lucid and direct."—Alexander Gelley, Library Journal

Lois de Conservations Eulériennes, Lagrangiennes et Méthodes Numériques (Mathématiques et Applications #68)

by Bruno Després

Les systèmes de lois de conservation non linéaires modélisent les écoulements compressibles et incompressibles dans des domaines extrêmement variés tels que l'aéronautique, l'hydrodynamique, la physique des plasmas, la combustion, le trafic routier, l'élasticité non linéaire. Le cadre mathématique général est celui des systèmes de lois de conservation. Les exemples physiques sont nombreux et souvent spectaculaires. Cela contribue à fonder une nouvelle discipline, la Mécanique des Fluides Numérique. La présentation proposée porte l'accent sur les systèmes que l'on appellera lagrangiens ou écrits en coordonnées de Lagrange, sur leurs relations avec les systèmes en coordonnées d'Euler et sur les possibilités que cela offre pour la construction et l'analyse de schémas numériques entropiques. De nombreux exemples numériques sont présentés en liaison avec le contexte physique, ainsi que des exercices. It has long been observed that systems of conservation laws written in the Lagrange variable offer a good alternative for the numerical computation of approximate solutions. In this monograph we seek to develop a systematic presentation of the use of the Lagrange variable for the analysis and discretization of systems of conservation laws arising in continuum mechanics.

La geometrie des groupes classiques: Reihe: Gruppentheorie (Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete. 2. Folge #5)

by Jean Dieudonne

This book gives an excellent survey of recent work on classical groups, simplifying and unifying the results of many authors. No attempt is made to cover all of the voluminous literature on classical groups; the author deals with only that portion of the subject which can be handled by the methods of linear algebra. By thus restricting his scope, he is able to include proofs of most of the results described, thereby making the book more self-contained than most Ergebnisse tracts.In the reviewer's opinion, this is an important and well-written book which should help to stimulate research on the classical groups. The book not only gives a thorough exposition of the present state of the subject, but is also an excellent introduction to the modern techniques basic to further work in this field.
