Pasolini et la poétique du déplacement by Anne-Violaine Houcke

“…Work in progress à forte dimension méta-cinématographique, le Carnet de notes fait travailler ensemble la fiction et le documentaire : le mythe raconté par Eschyle s’ouvre à une démarche archéologique et ethnologique, que motive une urgente quête des survivances. Pasolini met ainsi en œuvre une véritable poétique du déplacement, qui, à partir du déplacement géographique et, par la pratique de l’analogie, conduit à la réalisation d’une œuvre « déplacée », intempestive, qui vise à déplacer le spectateur. « Poète civil », comme le définissait Alberto Moravia, Pasolini fait du poétique le lieu du politique.…”

On the Strong Convergence of a Sufficient Descent Polak-Ribière-Polyak Conjugate Gradient Method by Min Sun, Jing Liu

“…Recently, Zhang et al. proposed a sufficient descent Polak-Ribière-Polyak (SDPRP) conjugate gradient method for large-scale unconstrained optimization problems and proved its global convergence in the sense that lim infk→∞∥∇f(xk)∥=0 when an Armijo-type line search is used. In this paper, motivated by the line searches proposed by Shi et al. and Zhang et al., we propose two new Armijo-type line searches and show that the SDPRP method has strong convergence in the sense that limk→∞∥∇f(xk)∥=0 under the two new line searches. …”
