D'Hondt method

The D'Hondt method, also called the Jefferson method or the greatest divisors method, is a method for allocating seats in parliaments among federal states, or in party-list proportional representation systems. It belongs to the class of highest-averages methods. The method was first described in 1792 by future U.S. president Thomas Jefferson. It was re-invented independently in 1878 by Belgian mathematician Victor D'Hondt, which is the reason for its two different names. (Wikipedia).

2020.04.30 Hubert Lacoin - The scaling limit for directed polymers in an alpha-stable environment

Directed polymers in a random environment is a model of statistical mechanics introduced in the 80s. Given a set of independent, identically random variables $\eta_{n,x}$ indexed by $\mathbb N\times \mathbb Z^d$, and a parameter $\beta⋗0$, it is defined as the measure on the set of nearest

Dominique Manchon - Hopf-Algebraic Renormalization of Multiple Zeta Values and their q-analogues

After a brief introductory account, I’ll explain how a quasi-shuffle compatible definition (by no means unique) of multiple zeta values can be given for integer arguments of any sign, through Connes-Kreimer’s Hopf-algebraic renormalization. Finally, I’ll introduce the Ohno-Okuda-Zudilin mo
