The numerical solution of integral equations of the second kind
by Kendall E. Atkinson (1997)
About this book
This book provides an extensive introduction to the numerical solution of a large class of integral equations. The initial chapters provide a general framework for the numerical analysis of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind, covering degenerate kernel, projection and Nystrom methods. Additional discussions of multivariable integral equations and iteration methods update the reader on the present state of the art in this area. The final chapters focus on the numerical solution of boundary integral equation (BIE) reformulations of Laplace's equation, in both two and three dimensions. Two chapters are devoted to planar BIE problems, which include both existing methods and remaining questions. Practical problems for BIE such as the set up and solution of the discretised BIE are also discussed. Each chapter concludes with a discussion of the literature and a large bibliography serves as an extended resource for students and researchers needing more information on solving particular integral equations.

Le devenir peinture
Pierre-Damien Huyghe
Comment la photographie et le cinéma, qui donnent de l'image, peuvent-ils être des arts contemporains de l'abstraction ? Comment la peinture est-elle devenue, comme le disait Kandinsky, un art voué à se passer de l'objet ? Nous ne pourrons pas traiter ces questions sans déceler dans l'histoire de l'art et de la pensée le poids des récurrences. En ceci au moins notre art n'est pas différent de la Renaissance : il ne se distingue pas sans rappel, il se comprend dans une pesée de traditions. L'enjeu, c'est l'ingénierie et l'industrie qui peuvent habiter l'image et que l'image peut installer dans la perception. L'art exige-t-il une autre méthode comme on l'a souvent dit depuis Baudelaire ? Sous cette interrogation se rappelle l'antique avertissement dont l'art a fait son affaire : la moindre des oeuvres implique une problématique de la responsabilité du monde. Cette responsabilité se manifeste aux esprits dans la facture de l'oeuvre, en deçà de toute finition.
