Optics Letters, 2007
A new and very general beam solution of the paraxial wave equation in Cartesian coordinates is presented. We call such a field a Cartesian beam. The complex amplitude of the Cartesian beams is described by either the parabolic cylinder functions or the confluent hypergeometric functions, and the beams are characterized by three parameters that are ...

CARTESIAN PASSIONS AND CARTESIAN DUALISM
Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, 1990Abstract Descartes’s most famous and important metaphysical thesis is mind-body dualism. Mind and body are distinct substances having different natures or essences. The essence of mind is the attribute thought, and the essence of body is the attribute extension.

Endeavour, 2008
Few original portraits exist of René Descartes, yet his theories of vision were central to Enlightenment thought. French philosophers combined his emphasis on sight with the English approach of insisting that ideas are not innate, but must be built up from experience.

The Decline of Cartesianism in Mechanics: The Leibnizian-Cartesian Debates
Isis, 1973T BHE DECLINE OF THE CARTESIAN WORLDVIEW in the early decades of the eighteenth century has been described from several vantage points.' As a metaphysical system it reflected the failure of the ontology of substance philosophy.2 The categories substance and modification were too limited in scope; the essences extension and thought so different in kind ...

The cartesian composition of automata
Mathematical Systems Theory, 1977There are several known ways to define a product automaton on the cartesian product of the state sets of two given automata. This paper introduces a new product called the cartesian composition and discusses how various properties of the product automaton depend on the corresponding properties of the factors.

Random Structures & Algorithms, 1994
AbstractCartesian trees are binary search trees in which the nodes exhibit the heap property according to a second (priority) key. If the search key and the priority key are independent, and the trees is built based on n independent copies, Cartesian trees basically behave like ordinary random binary search trees.

Cartesian Clarity and Cartesian Motion
1989Descartes died an impenitent and hardened bachelor but he had a lifelong love affair with clarity and certainty and, as the years went by, he not only saw things more clearly but he grew fonder of his own certainties. A year before his untimely death in the land of “bears, rocks and ice” as he called Sweden, he wrote to Henry More, who had suggested ...
