We examine Poisson’s personal contribution to the probability calculus, placing it in the mathematical and social context of the beginning of the 19th century (§1). Then we look briefly at Poisson’s administrative work in the Royal Council for Public Education from 1820 to 1840 (§2). 1. The Probability Calculus At first glance, Poisson appears to have come to probability relatively late. It was...

in this paper we study optimization problems with infinite many inequality constraints on a banach space where the objective function and the binding constraints are locally lipschitz‎. ‎necessary optimality conditions and regularity conditions are given‎. ‎our approach are based on the michel-penot subdifferential.

The aim of this lecture is to outline the gluing of embeddings at different scales described in James Lee’s paper Distance scales, embeddings, and metrics of negative type from SODA 2005 [1]. We begin by recalling some definitions. A map f : X → Y of metric spaces (X, dX ) and (Y, dY ) is said to be C-Lipschitz if dY (f(x), f(y)) ≤ CdX(x, y) for all x, y ∈ X. The infimum of all C such that f is...

Beginning with Talmy’s work in the late 1970’s and early1980’s, cognitive linguists have argued that fictive motion—roughly, mentally simulated motion along a path or linear configuration—motivates the use and structure of a class of figurative uses of motion verbs. On this view, a motion verb describes an inherently static scene, as in The road runs along the coast or A trail goes through the ...
