Les débuts de l'histoire des mathématiques sur les scènes internationales et le cas de l'entreprise encyclopédique de Felix Klein et Jules Molk

At the beginning of the 20th century, the history of mathematics first appeared on different international scenes as a result of different initiatives of mathematicians, historians, and philosophers. By studying the way in which historians of mathematics took advantage of these opportunities, we have sought the contours, the lines of force, and the equilibria of this process of the internationalization of the history of mathematics on an institutional as well as intellectual plane.This search was focused through the study of the German- and French-language editions of the Encyklopädie der mathematischen Wissenschaften, which is one of the most remarkable examples dating from this period of an international collaboration for mathematics and its history.

Une étude mathématique d'un modèle de Rotenberg

In this paper, a cell proliferation model of Rotenberg is mathematically studied. Each cell of this population is distinguished by its degree of maturity μ and its maturation velocity v. We equipped this mathematical model by boundary conditions wich generalize all biological rules imposed by Rotenberg. We show that this model is governed by a strongly continuous semigroup. We also develop some properties of this semigroup and we study its asymptotic behaviour in the uniform topology.

Caractérisations de la représentation de Burau

This paper is devoted to characterizations of the (reduced) Burau representation of the Artin braid group, in terms of rigid local systems. We prove that the Burau representation is the only representation of the Hecke algebra for which some local system associated to every linear representation of the braid group is irreducible and rigid in the sense of Katz. We also use previous results to give a characterization of the corresponding Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov system.     

Sur une Interprétation Mathématique de l'Intégrale de Rice en Théorie de la Rupture Fragile

We formulate the assumptions under which Rice J integral and the critical energy release rate, which occur in fragile fracture mechanic, are equivalent.
