Historical Fiction Author Don Neal Discusses Cold War Activities in Alaska
No full textDuring the Cold War, the USA was concerned that Russia would invade Alaska and American intelligence officers created the Stay Behind Agent Program to counter. At this event, Don Neal, author of the Ben Hunnicutt series that includes Cross Kill, Warhead, and washtub Gold, discusses the Nike missile system, the top-secret anti-espionage campaign Operation Washtub, and other Cold War activities in Alaska
Material Spirituality with Neal DeRoo Pt. I
No full textIs spirituality one part of our lives that we experience in worship? Or does it permeate our whole being? Are we able to pull spirituality and religion apart? What would happen if we considered how our spirituality is embodied, deeply, in our world? In this inaugural episode of Critical Faith, Neal DeRoo explores these questions in his lecture "Toward a Material Spirituality: Religion and Phenomenological Expression." The recording is the first of three parts, all from a Scripture, Faith, and Scholarship Seminar hosted at the Institute for Christian Studies.
Neal DeRoo is Canada Research Chair in Phenomenology and Philosophy of Religion and Associate Professor of Philosophy at The King's University in Edmonton, Alberta, and the author of Futurity in Phenomenology: Promise and Method in Husserl, Levinas, and Derrida (Fordham: 2013)
Random Function Iterations for Stochastic Fixed Point Problems
No full textWe study the convergence of random function iterations for finding an invariant measure of the
corresponding Markov operator. We call the problem of finding such an invariant measure the
stochastic fixed point problem. This generalizes earlier work of the authors [Random function it-
erations for consistent stochastic feasibility, Numer. Funct. Analysis Opt. 40/4 (2019) 386–420]
studying the stochastic feasibility problem, namely, to find points that are, with probability 1,
fixed points of the random functions. When no such points exist, the stochastic feasibility problem
is called inconsistent, but still under certain assumptions, the more general stochastic fixed point
problem has a solution and the random function iteration converges to an invariant measure for
the corresponding Markov operator. We show how common structures in deterministic fixed point
theory can be exploited to establish existence of invariant measures and convergence in distribution
of the Markov chain. This framework specializes to many applications of current interest includ-
ing, for instance, stochastic algorithms for large-scale distributed computation, and deterministic
iterative procedures with computational error. The theory developed in this study provides a solid
basis for describing the convergence of simple computational methods without the assumption of
infinite precision arithmetic or vanishing computational errors
