On the occasion of the Swiss Mathematical Society’s centennial, it is both an honor and a pleasure to contribute an article to this special edition of the Elemente der Mathematik on a mathematical subject from the work of Hugo Hadwiger. Professor Hadwiger was a prolific and influential Swiss mathematician known for his work in geometry, combinatorics, and cryptography [2]. Here we shall note ho...

A reparametrization invariant model, introduced recently by Montesinos, Rovelli and Thiemann, possessing an SL(2,R) gauge symmetry is treated along the guidelines of an algebraic constraint quantization scheme that translates the vanishing of the constraints into representation conditions for the algebra of observables. The application of this algebraic scheme to the SL(2,R) model yields an una...

Hugo von Hofmannstahl Letter to Lord Chandos (1902) 1. An introductory chronicle 1991 The results of the MIT research program “Management in the 1990s” are published (Scott Morton 1991). Among them, a rudimentary framework, whereby information technology (IT) is regarded as a variable linked with others such as strategy, organization, culture...The diamond diagram gains widespread following in ...

Based on previous theoretical results we present in this paper a global estimation scheme for solving the stable 2D autoregressive filter problem. The different algorithms are based on the traditional Newton method and on the log barrier method that is employed in semi-definite programming. The Newton method is the faster one but the barrier method ensures that the iterates stay in the cone of ...
