## Abstract In a recent article (Burrell, 2006), the author pointed out that the version of Lorenz concentration theory presented by Egghe (2005a, 2005b) does not conform to the classical statistical/econometric approach. Rousseau (2007) asserts confusion on our part and a failure to grasp Egghe's

Abstract
Contrary to Burrell's statements, Egghe's theory of continuous concentration does include the construction of a standard Lorenz curve.

## Abstract In a recent article, Egghe (2005) discussed what he terms Lorenz concentration theory, covering the Lorenz curve and concentration measures such as the coefficient of variation and the Theil and Gini coefficients. In this note, we point out that neither the curve construction nor the co
An algorithm for constructing a basis of a linear system L(D) on a hyperelliptic curve is described. Algorithms by Cantor and Chebychev for computing in the Jacobian of a hyperelliptic curve are derived as special cases. The final section describes Chebychev's application of his algorithm to element
A device subject to shocks occurring randomly according to a general counting process and failing when the cumulative damage exceeds a fixed threshold is considered. Sufficient conditions for the lifetime of this device belonging to the HNBUE class are given and as a consequence a procedure to obtai
