L’historien et ses modèles

2010

Parler des modèles en histoire est une affaire délicate, car le mot recouvre des pratiques historiennes différentes depuis son apparition dans la discipline, après la dernière guerre mondiale. Pour une minorité d’historiens surtout spécialisés en histoire économique, il correspond à une vision nouvelle de la discipline qui tenterait d’intégrer certaines démarches mathématiques, en particulier aujourd’hui la théorie des jeux. Pour d’autres, en revanche, parler de modèles relèverait surtout d’une évolution du vocabulaire, sans impliquer de véritable mutation disciplinaire. Les historiens construisent et utilisent surtout des modèles explicatifs, voire palliatifs quand ils ont de trop grandes …

Special factors and the combinatorics of suffix and factor automata

2011

AbstractThe suffix automaton (resp. factor automaton) of a finite word w is the minimal deterministic automaton recognizing the set of suffixes (resp. factors) of w. We study the relationships between the structure of the suffix and factor automata and classical combinatorial parameters related to the special factors of w. We derive formulae for the number of states of these automata. We also characterize the languages LSA and LFA of words having respectively suffix automaton and factor automaton with the minimal possible number of states.

The Imperative of Addressing the Contemporary Crisis of Economics with Spiritual Intelligence

2013

Abstract The current global economic crisis has also drawn an increasingly obvious crisis of the economic theories. Thereby are more and more voices that calls for quitting the rather mechanistic, mathematical, determinist or pure rational approaches in favor of either sociological, psychological, historical, cultural or merely ethical ones, or, most often, a combination of some or all of these. In this paper I argue that the most needed approaches are now the anthropological ones that start from the spiritual considerations about human intelligence.

Unary Probabilistic and Quantum Automata on Promise Problems

2015

We continue the systematic investigation of probabilistic and quantum finite automata (PFAs and QFAs) on promise problems by focusing on unary languages. We show that bounded-error QFAs are more powerful than PFAs. But, in contrary to the binary problems, the computational powers of Las-Vegas QFAs and bounded-error PFAs are equivalent to deterministic finite automata (DFAs). Lastly, we present a new family of unary promise problems with two parameters such that when fixing one parameter QFAs can be exponentially more succinct than PFAs and when fixing the other parameter PFAs can be exponentially more succinct than DFAs.

Rough linear PDE's with discontinuous coefficients - existence of solutions via regularization by fractional Brownian motion

2020

We consider two related linear PDE's perturbed by a fractional Brownian motion. We allow the drift to be discontinuous, in which case the corresponding deterministic equation is ill-posed. However, the noise will be shown to have a regularizing effect on the equations in the sense that we can prove existence of solutions for almost all paths of the fractional Brownian motion.

Quantitative ergodicity for some switched dynamical systems

2012

International audience; We provide quantitative bounds for the long time behavior of a class of Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes with state space Rd × E where E is a finite set. The continuous component evolves according to a smooth vector field that switches at the jump times of the discrete coordinate. The jump rates may depend on the whole position of the process. Under regularity assumptions on the jump rates and stability conditions for the vector fields we provide explicit exponential upper bounds for the convergence to equilibrium in terms of Wasserstein distances. As an example, we obtain convergence results for a stochastic version of the Morris-Lecar model of neurobiology.

Electrochemical and DFT studies of the oxidative decomposition of the trihydride complexes Cp*M(dppe)H3 (M = Mo, W) in acetonitrile

2006

International audience; A detailed electrochemical study of the oxidative decomposition of the trihydride complexes Cp*M(dppe)H3 (M = Mo, W) in acetonitrile is presented. For the Mo complex, the decomposition occurs by four different pathways involving classical and non-classical tautomers, whereas only the classical form is accessible for the W derivative. Each of the decomposition pathways has been quantitatively assessed by analyses of the linear sweep voltammograms. In addition to the previously established (B. Pleune, D. Morales, R. Meunier-Prest, P. Richard, E. Collange, J. C. Fettinger and R. Poli, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1999, 121, 2209–2225) deprotonation, disproportionation, and H2 red…

A theoretical study of carbon-carbon bond formation by a Michael-type addition.

2012

A theoretical study of the Michael-type addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds has been performed in the gas phase by means of the AM1 semiempirical method and by density functional theory (DFT) calculations within the B3LYP and M06-2X hybrid functionals. A molecular model has been selected to mimic the role of a base, which is traditionally used as a catalyst in Michael reactions, an acetate moiety to modulate its basicity, and point charges to imitate the stabilization of the negative charge developed in the substrate during the reaction when taking place in enzymatic environments. Results of the study of six different reactions obtained at the three di…
