β¦ Synopsis
This paper describes several directions of research which are being developed
in the mathematical and engineering literatures. In each case the source of the problems is
plasticity, either for a continuum or for the discrete model which follows from a finite element representation. One result deserves special mention: the new techniques lead to the first rigorous proof that the equations of incremental plasticity have a solution (up to the moment of collapse). Without attempting to reproduce such a proof, we try to explain some of the underlying ideas-hoping that those ideas will also prove useful in providing a realistic and manageable numerical analysis of plasticity.
* This also produces the right constraint Bu = F in the discrete incremental problem.

The purpose of this short article is twofold. First, we would like to take the opportunity of this special volume to deliver some modest reflexion on what we believe to be the real plus-value of the mathematical analysis of the models of quantum chemistry.

In the extraction of metals from their oxygen compounds, carbon is certainly the most important and useful reducing agent. Its great affinity for oxygen is utilized in the manufacture of iron and steel; the commercial production of other useful metals such as copper, lead, zinc and tin is accomplish
