John and Uniform Domains in Generalized Siegel Boundaries

Potential Analysis - Given the pair of vector fields X = ?x + |z|2my?t and Y = ?y ?|z|2mx?t,where (x,y,t) = , we give a condition on a bounded domain which ensures...     

Applications of homogenization techniques to the electrical conduction in biological tissues

We study a family of problems set in a finely mixed periodic medium, modelling electrical conduction in biological tissues. We prove a unified derivation of these different schemes from the Maxwell equations in the quasi-stationary approximation and we investigate the behaviour of the corresponding macroscopic models.

Asset prices in an ambiguous economy

Models with ambiguity averse preferences have the potential to explain some pricing anomalies on financial markets. However, the models used in applications make additional assumptions, beyond ambiguity aversion, on the structure of the investor’s preferences. Therefore, it is not clear how to disentangle the effect of ambiguity aversion from other features of preferences on equilibrium prices. This paper offers a general theory of asset pricing assuming only ambiguity aversion. Price indeterminacy may result in equilibrium when preferences are not smooth. A set of priors, which is identifiable in all the models used in applications, contains the relevant information to price assets. Ambiguity enriches the standard pricing formula by an additional stochastic discount factor and we calculate its explicit form for various models.     

A Lax type operator for quantum finite W-algebras

Interpolation,compactness and JEP in soft model theory

Let be the following statement: “for any infinite regularκ, for any uniform ultrafilterD onκ,D isλ-descendingly incomplete for all infiniteλ”. is weaker than ?0^#. Assuming we prove the following: letL be a logic in which the class of sentences of typeτ is a set if so isτ; then: (I)L is compact iffL has JEP; (II)L satisfies Robinson Consistency Theorem iffL is compact and satisfies Craig Interpolation theorem; (III) if, in addition,L is single-sorted, thenL satisfies Robinson Consistency Theorem iffL has JEP^#. JEP (resp. JEP^#) are the natural generalizations for logicL of the familiar Joint Embedding Property of elementary (resp. complete) embeddings in first order logic. As a corollary, we characterize first order logic as the only logic having Löwenheim number equal toω together with JEP.     

Homogenization and concentrated capacity in reticular almost disconnected structuresHomogénéisation et capacité concentrée dans les structures réticulaires presque déconnectées

We compute the homogenized-concentrated limit for a pair of non-linearly coupled diffusion equations in a perforated cylindric domain with coaxial cylindric holes periodically distributed along its axis. This problem arises from visual transduction. To cite this article: D. Andreucci et al., C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 335 (2002) 329–332.
