Samuel Beckett and the Writers of Port-Royal
No full textIt has been observed that ‘the literary influences on Beckett have been far more important than has been acknowledged, and more important indeed, than the philosophical influences’ (Smith 2002: 3). The truth of this statement is evidenced by the description that scholars have given of Samuel Beckett’s relationship to seventeenth century French classicism. To date, critical interest has been limited for the most part to the figure of the philosopher René Descartes on the (fragile) grounds that Beckett was exclusively concerned with the Cartesian imperative of clarity and order, the fundamental dualism between body and mind, and Nominalism.
Together with the assumption that Beckett’s vision was essentially Cartesian, his literary filiation with Pascal was suggested by critics, but only in terms of Beckett’s formal approach to the theatre. In his short article on En attendant Godot in 1953, the playwright Jean Anouilh was among the first reviewers to suggest that Beckett’s drama synthesizes the encounter between ‘classicism’ and a ‘modern’ form of art. It is well known that Beckett retained a lifelong admiration for Pascal – indeed, Pascal was one of his ‘old chestnuts’ (Knowlson 1997: 653). Little attention has been paid, however, to the originality of Pascal’s thought, the specific nature of his prose, and the impact these might have had upon Beckett’s mature work, especially the trilogy and the subsequent short prose. Yet, in the literary and philosophical context of post-war France, Beckett’s filiation with Pascal, their corresponding preoccupations, were evident to his contemporaries, who identified Pascal as an underlying presence in his works
Marches aléatoires branchantes : Cas limites et hypothèses minimales
No full textThe branching random walk is a particle system on the real line starting at time 0 with an initial particle at position 0, then each particle living at time n proceeds to die at time n+1 and give birth, independently from the other particles of generation n, to a random number of particles at random positions. In a first chapter, we define in details the branching random walk model and some key elements of the scientific research on this model, including the study of the additive martingale. This martingale can be stuided through its convergence towards a limit that may be trivial, raising the question of an appropriate scaling, called Seneta-Heyde sclaing, in the case the limit is trivial. The additive martingale can also be studied with stochastic recursive equations lezading to fixed points equations in law. This latter question is adressed in some unpublished works from the first year of PhD, in continuioty with works from the masters thesis. The second chapter is a translation in english of some sections of the preivous chapter so that every reader can grasp the key elements and goals of this manuscript.In a third chapter, we present a new proof developed with Pascal Maillard for Aîdékon and Shi's theorem on the Seneta-Heyde scaling of the critical additive martingale in the finite variance case. This new proof no longer need a peeling lemma and the use of second moment arguments and prefers studying the conditional Laplace transform. the properties of some renewal functions allow a much more general approach without the need to foucs to much on the derivative martingale. This is also illustrated in a fourth chapter where in new works with Pascal Maillard, we find the Seneta-Heyde scaling for the critical additive martingale in the case where the spinal random walk is in the attraction domain of a stable law. We then observe that the renewal functions provide us with a better suited candidate for this study than the derivative artingale, which is no longer always a martingale in this context.Finally, the fifth chapter focus on the question of the optimality of the assumptions made in the preivous chapter concerning the non-triviality of the limit obtained with the Seneta-Heyde scaling.La marche aléatoire branchante est un système de particules sur la droite réelle où partant au temps 0 d’une particule initiale en position 0, chaque particule vivante au temps n meurt au temps n + 1 en donnant indépendemment naissance à un nombre aléatoire de particules se dispersant aléatoirement autour de la position de la particule parente. Dans un premier chapitre introductif, nous définissons en détails le modèle de la marche aléatoire branchante ainsi que certains des enjeux de la recherche autour de ce modèle, notamment l’étude de la martingale additive. Cette martingale peut-être étudié au travers de sa convergence vers une limite triviale ou non ainsi que l’étude d’une renormalisation appropriée, dite de Seneta-Heyde, lorsque cette limite est triviale. Elle peut aussi être étudiée au travers d’équations récursives stochastiques menant à des équations de points fixes en loi. Cette dernière question correspond à des travaux non-publiés effectués en première année de thèse en continuité avec ceux effectués en mémoire de master. Le second chapitre est une traduction en anglais de certaines sections du précédent chapitre pour faciliter la compréhension de certains lecteurs sur les points importants de cette thèse.Dans un troisième chapitre nous présentons une nouvelle méthode de preuve développée avec Pascal Maillard pour le théorème d’Aïdékon et Shi sur la renormalisation de Seneta-Heyde de la martingale additive critique dans le cas où la marche de l’épine admet une variance finie. Cette nouvelle preuve se passe du recours à un lemme d’épluchage et à des calculs de seconds moments pour lui préférer une étude de la transformée de Laplace conditionnée. Les propriétés des fonctions de renouvellements permettent une approche plus générale qui ne demande pas de s’attarder en particulier sur la martingale dérivée. Ceci est d’ailleurs illustré dans le quatrième chapitre où dans de nou veaux travaux avec Pascal Maillard, nous trouvons la renormalisation de Seneta-Heyde de la martingale additive critique dans le cas où la marche de l’épine est dans le domaine d’attraction d’une loi stable. On voit alors que les fonctions de renouvellement nous fournissent un candidat mieux adapté à cette étude que la martingale dérivée, qui n’est plus toujours une martingale dans ce nouveau contexte.Enfin, le cinquième chapitre étudie la question de l’optimalité des hypothèses faites dans le chapitre précédent quant à la trivialité ou non de la limite obtenue après renormalisation de Seneta-Heyde

First person - Aude Pascal
No full textInternational audienceFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Aude Pascal is first author on `Annexin A2 and Ahnak control cortical NuMA-dynein localization and mitotic spindle orientation', published in JCS. Aude is a research assistant in the lab of Re ' gis Giet at University of Rennes, France, who is particularly interested in developmental biology. She has always been struck by the fact that a whole organism displaying multiple functions arises from a single cell. For this reason, she has oriented her research on mitosis and meiosis to study the different steps, components and structures involved in these processes
Pascal Tutorial, 1987
No full textThere exists a limited number of tutorials for the Pascal programming language using the Apple Computer. The demand for these tutorials exceeds the supply. In this thesis an attempt was made to rectify this shortage by designing a Pascal tutorial for the Apple computer. This Pascal tutorial is designed to assist with instructing an introductory computer programming course in Pascal, incorporating Apple Superpilot as the authoring language. Emphasis is placed on making the program "user friendly." A person with no previous programming experience should be able to easily execute this tutorial. The information presented as the subject matter of the tutorial will follow the guidelines recommended by the Association for Computing Machinery
