UNASUR: An Eclectic Analytical Perspective of its Disintegration

First-order limits, an analytical perspective

In this paper we present a novel approach to graph (and structural) limits based on model theory and analysis. The role of Stone and Gelfand dualities is displayed prominently and leads to a general theory, which we believe is naturally emerging. This approach covers all the particular examples of structural convergence and it put the whole in new context. As an application, it leads to new int...

Old age from an existential-analytical perspective.

Aging confronts humans with specific existential issues. They frequently cause suffering in old age. Not dealing with or insufficiently dealing with these existential themes may result in crisis, psychological disorders, and illness. By integrating existential themes of aging into the understanding of one's own life, the process of aging contributes to personal maturity.

An Eclectic Survey of Bounding Methodsfor

Markov models are often used for performance mod-eling. However most models do not have closed form solutions, and numerical solutions are often not feasible due to the large (or even innnite) state space of models of practical interest. One can sometimes take advantage of special structures such as nearly completely decomposable models or models with matrix analytic solutions. This paper prese...
