AbstractThis chapter aims at surveying and highlighting in an introductory way some challenges and big opportunities a paradigmatic shift to imprecise probabilities could induce in statistical modelling. Working with an informal understanding of imprecise probabilities, we discuss the concepts of model imprecision and data imprecision as the two main types of imprecision in statistical modelling. Then we provide a short survey of some major developments, methodological questions and applications of imprecise probabilistic models under model imprecision in the context of different inference schools and summarize some recent developments in the area of data imprecision.

Abstract The goal of this paper is to present a short survey of some of Lorenzen’s contributions to constructive mathematics, and its influence on recent developments in mathematical logic and constructive algebra. We also present some work in measure theory which uses these contributions in an essential way.

Davenport's theorem was established nearly a lifetime ago, but there have been some very interesting recent developments. The various proofs over the years bring in different ideas from number theory, probability theory, analysis and group theory. In this short survey, we shall not present complete proofs, but will describe instead some of these underlying ideas.

The introduction to this volume describes the rationale behind the overall structure of theHandbook, starting with the question of how music and sound have become so important in recent developments in contemporary art. It discusses three aspects, which are reflected in the division of the volume into three sections. The first is the sensorial distinction between art and music; the second is the intangible physicality of sound waves, the raw material of music; and the third is music as a product of live performance. Suggesting a short survey of historical, aesthetic, theoretical, and technological developments, the introduction shows how these three pivotal cores are also threads that run through much of the volume in many different variations. It thus suggests a conceptual map of an audiovisual cultural space, emphasizing the way it creates physical comprehension of philosophical matters that are at the heart of modern and contemporary art in general.
