| Title | The problems of statistics |
| Author | GUILBAUD Georges-Théodule |
| Keywords | None |
| Topics | Epistemology, History of Mathematics, Pedagogy, Statistics |
| Abstract | This paper is a reprint of the chapter VI of the Traité de Sociologie, edited in 1959 by G. Gurvitch and published by the Presses Univerrsitaires de France. In this paper, G. Th. Guilbaud tries to make clear the spirit of statistical methods and their generality. This quite remarkable text is not at all out of date 40 years after ; every one who is practising statistical methods will be able to profit by it. |

| Title | Extremal values of a combinatorial optimization problem and polynomial approximation |
| Author | DEMANGE Marc, PASCHOS Vangelis-Th. |
| Keywords | None |
| Topics | Algorithms - Algorithmic Theory, Approximation, Combinatorics, Epistemology, Optimization |
| Abstract | As a subsequence of some of our previous works on complexity and polynomial approximation theory, we present some further reflections and arguments about extremal, optimal and worst, values (and solutions) of combinatorial optimization problems. This discussion leads us to consider a constant source of contradictions in complexity theory, the limits between constructibility and non-constructibility. In fact, complexity theory, in its current form, is founded on non-constructibility while, two of the main of its topics, the combinatorial optimization and the polynomial approximation theory need both a conceptual framework founded on constructibility. Approximation theory today goes beyond its framework of origin (a set of tools for finding fast solutions for NP-complete problems) since it strongly intervenes in the definition of new mathematical notions and objects making entirely part of the "arsenal" of complexity and it constitutes a major theoretical tool as well for understanding, deepening and enriching complexity theory as for better apprehending class NP. This recent "problemshift" for the polynomial approximation theory brings to the fore new and particularly interesting problems from both mathematical and epistemological points of view. |
