A Brief Historical Review of the Important Developments in Lanczos Potential Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we review some of the research that has emerged to form Lanczos potential theory. From Lanczos’ pioneering work on quadratic Lagrangians, which ultimately led to the discovery of his famed tensor, through to the current developments in the area of exact solutions of the Weyl–Lanczos equations, we aim to exhibit what are generally considered to be the pivotal advances in the theory. c © Electronic Journal of Theoretical Physics.

The Local Limit Theorem: A Historical Perspective
The local limit theorem describes how the density of a sum of random variables follows the normal curve. However the local limit theorem is often seen as a curiosity of no particular importance when compared with the central limit theorem. Nevertheless the local limit theorem came first and is in fact associated with the foundation of probability theory by Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fer...
متن کاملSome Perspectives of Machine Repair Problems
In this article, we survey machine repair problems (MRP) with an emphasis on historical developments of queuing models of practical importance. The survey proceeds historically, starting with developments in 1985, when the first published review on machine interference models appeared. We attempt to elaborate some basic MRP models of the real life congestion situations. The brief survey of some...

Ecological Psychology and Micro-Sociology studies concerning behavioral-milieu systems have created an important basis for evaluation and prediction of the performance of built environments. In this context, the Behavior Setting Theory introduced by Roger Barker in 1968 defines the complicated behavioral-milieu framework or synomorphy as the determining factor of the environmental behaviors of ...
متن کاملFunds of Knowledge: An Underrated Tool for School Literacy and Student Engagement
This chief aim of this paper is to explore the concept of Funds of Knowledge (FOK) in relation to Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT). This study unveils the basic tenets of FOK from the lens of activity theory and analyzes pertinent discoveries, key concepts, and scholars’ arguments relating to FOK and literacy development over time. The major purpose of this study is to expand the pers...
