고대 그리스에서 발현된 수학의 무한 개념은 헤브라이인의 유대교 전통인 카발라의 영향을 받아 중세 기독교 교부 철학자들에 의해 보다 성숙되어져 갔으며, 그 후 기독교의 무한사상이 르네상스 시대에는 화가들에 의해 원근법으로 구체화되었다. 본 논문에서는 그리스 시대부터 발전된 무한 개념의 경로를 살펴보고, 근대와 19세기 이후 무한수학이 발달될 때 당시 미술에서는 무한 개념이 어떻게 표현되었는지 그 시대정신을 고찰한다.

A nondifferentiable nonlinear semi-infinite programming problem is considered, where the functions involved are ${\eta}$-semidifferentiable type I-preinvex and related functions. Necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are obtained for a nondifferentiable nonlinear semi-in nite programming problem. Also, a Mond-Weir type dual and a general Mond-Weir type dual are formulated for the nondifferentiable semi-infinite programming problem and usual duality results are proved using the concepts of generalized semilocally type I-preinvex and related functions.

The concepts of zero, minus, infinite, ideal point, etc. are not real existence, but are pure mathematical objects. These entities become mathematical objects through the process of a philosophical filtering. In this paper, the writer explores the relation between natural conditions of different cultures and philosophies, with its reference to fundamental philosophies and traditional mathematical patterns in major cultural zones. The main items treated in this paper are as follows: 1. Greek ontology and Euclidean geometry. 2. Chinese agnosticism and the concept of minus in the equations. 3. Transcendence in Hebrews and the concept of infinite in modern analysis. 4. The empty and zero in India.

The purpose of this study is to suggest effective teaching methods on the concept of infinity for students to obtain the right concept in the middle school curriculum. Many people have thought that infinity is something vouge and unapproachable. But, nowadays it is rather something with a precise definition that lies at the core of modern mathematics. To understand mathematics and science very well, it is necessary to comprehend the concept of infinity. But students tend to figure out the properties of infinite objects and limit concepts only through their experience closely related to finite process, and so they are apt to have their spontaneous intuition and misconception about it. Since most of them have cognitive obstacles in studying the infinite concepts and misconception, mathematics teachers need to help them overcome the obstacles and establish the right secondary intuition for the concepts through good examples and appropriate explanation. In this study, we consider the developing process of the concept of infinity in human history and give some comments and suggestions in teaching methods relative to that concept with new suitable examples.

This study begins with the awareness of problem that the education of mathematics teachers has failed to link the limit and the infinite set conceptually. Thus, this study analyzes the historical and reciprocal development of the limit and the infinite set, and discusses how to improve the education of these concepts and their relation based on the outcome of this analysis. The results of the study confirm that the infinite set is the historical tool of linking the limit and the real numbers. Also, the result shows that the premise of 'the component of the straight line is a point.' had the fundamental role in the construction of the real numbers as an arithmetical continuum and that the moral certainty of this premise would be obtained through a thought experiment using an infinite set. Based on these findings, several proposals have been made regarding the teacher education of awakening someone to the fact that 'the theoretical foundation of the limit is the real numbers, and it is required to introduce an infinite set for dealing with the real numbers.' in this study. In particular, by presenting one method of constructing the real numbers as an arithmetical continuum based on a thought experiment about the component of the straight line, this study opens up the possibility of an education that could get the limit values psychologically connected to the infinite set in overcoming the epistemological obstacle related to the continuum concept.

본 연구의 목적은 고등학생들이 가지고 있는 극한에 대한 개념 정의와 개념 이미지를 조사해보고 어떤 부적절한 개념 이미지를 가지고 있는지 알아보는데 있다. 또한 관련 개념에 대한 문제를 해결하는 과정에서 어떤 오류를 범하는지도 알아보았다. 연구대상은 인문계 고등학교 이공계열 여학생 121명 이었으며 연구방법은 질문지 검사를 통하여 이루어졌다. 무한수열의 극한의 경우 11%, 무한급수의 경우에는 5%의 학생만이 교과서의 형식적 정의와 유사한 개념정의를 가지고 있었다. 학생들이 보여준 오류유형은 모두 6가지로 나타났으며 학생들은 문제를 푸는 과정에서 무한수열의 극한에 비하여 무한급수의 합에 대한 정의와 성질들을 이해하고 적용하는 것을 더 어려워했다.

In this paper, Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) effect is investigated using a new and integrated approach. Faster solution of time dependant differential equation of motion is achieved using numerical representation of wavelet theory while dynamic Infinite Elements (IFE) concept is utilized to effectively model the unbounded soil domain. Combination of the wavelet theory with IFE concept lead to a robust, efficient and integrated technique for the solution of complex problems. A direct method for soil-structure interaction analysis in a two dimensional medium is also presented in time domain using the frequency dependent transformation matrix. This matrix which represents the far field region is constructed by assembling stiffness matrices of the frequency dependant infinite elements. It maps the problem into the time domain where the equations of motion are to be solved. Accuracy of results obtained in this study is compared to those obtained by other SSI analysis techniques. It is shown that the solution procedure discussed in this paper is reliable, efficient and less time consuming as compared to other existing concepts and procedures.

The objective of this research is to investigate the artistic meaning of "infinity," manifested by the fourth dimensional value in the genres of photography and architecture, by analyzing how Sugimoto Hiroshi's photographic spatio-temporal infinity transfers to his architectural approaches. The research is initiated by scrutinizing the themes, characteristics, techniques, and artistic meaning of Sugimoto's famous photographic series, including "Seascapes," "Theatres," and "Architecture"; the concept of infinity can be defined as infinite divergence and infinitesimal convergence between antithetical concepts in time, space, and being. Sugimoto's photographic works display "temporal infinity" by connecting ancient times, the present, and the future; "spatial infinity" by offering the potential for transformation from flat photographs into infinite three-dimensional space and fourth-dimensional concepts through time; and "existential infinity" of life and death by making us think about being and essence, being and time, and origin and religion. These perspectives are also used to analyze Sugimoto's architectural works, such as "Appropriate Proportion" and "Glass Tea House Mondrian." As a result, the research finds that in Sugimoto's architectural approaches, spatio-temporal infinity between antithetical values is manifested through the concept of origin, geometric form, extended axis, immaterial threshold, transparent materiality, and connectivity of light and shadow, provoking our existence to transcend into infinity itself.

무한(infinity)의 개념은 다른 과학적 개념들과 마찬가지로 진화의 역사를 지닌 개념이다. 우리는 여기에서 볼짜노(Bolzano)를 중심으로 논의를 전개하고자 하는데, 그는 형이상학적 관점에서가 아니라 수학적으로 실무한(actual infinity)을 수용한 최초의 인물로 여겨지기 때문이다. 볼짜노는 현대의 플라톤주의자들처럼 구성(construction)과정과는 무관하게 무한집합(infinite set)을 그 자체로 옹호하였는데, 이는 내포(comprehension)의 원리와 모든 개념에 대한 외연의 유일성(unicity)에 근거한다. 또한 그는 무한집합과 그 부분 사이에 1:1 대응(one-to-one correspondence)이 성립한다는 사실을 역설로 보지 않고 무한집합의 특징으로 인식했다. 그리스 시대에는 단 하나의 무한의 존재만 인정한 데 반해 그는 여러 종류의 무한의 존재를 인정했으며, 무한에 대한 논리적 정의를 수립하였다. 무한의 문제는 수학에서 점증하는 중요성을 지닌 구성적 방법(constructive method)의 시금석이 된다. 여기에서는 이에 대한 운을 떼는 것으로 그치고 본격적인 연구는 차후의 과제로 남겨두겠다.

This paper presents the result of an analysis on effects of phase compensation on power system stability in the PSS parameter tuning. Synchronizing and damping coefficients are induced from lineal model for generator with PSS. Synchronizing and damping coefficients corresponding to time constants of phase compensation control block are calculated on a single machine, infinite bus test system. The Parameter tuning concepts, basic function, structural elements and performance criteria of PSS are introduced.
