    Ill-posedness of time-dependent inverse problems in Lebesgue-Bochner spaces

    No full text
    We consider time-dependent inverse problems in a mathematical setting using Lebesgue-Bochner spaces. Such problems arise when one aims to recover parameters from given observations where the parameters or the data depend on time. There are various important applications being subject of current research that belong to this class of problems. Typically inverse problems are ill-posed in the sense that already small noise in the data causes tremendous errors in the solution. In this article we present two different concepts of ill-posedness: temporally (pointwise) ill-posedness and uniform ill-posedness with respect to the Lebesgue-Bochner setting. We investigate the two concepts by means of a typical setting consisting of a time-depending observation operator composed by a compact operator. Furthermore we develop regularization methods that are adapted to the respective class of ill-posedness

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Regularization for time-dependent inverse problems: Geometry of Lebesgue-Bochner spaces and algorithms

    No full text
    We consider time-dependent inverse problems in a mathematical setting using Lebesgue-Bochner spaces. Such problems arise when one aims to recover a function from given observations where the function or the data depend on time. Lebesgue-Bochner spaces allow to easily incorporate the different nature of time and space. In this manuscript, we present two different regularization methods in Lebesgue Bochner spaces: 1. classical Tikhonov regularization in Banach spaces 2. variational regularization by penalizing the time-derivative In the first case, we additionally investigate geometrical properties of Lebesgue Bochner spaces. In particular, we compute the duality mapping and show that these spaces are smooth of power type. With this we can implement Tikhononv regularization in Lebesgue-Bochner spaces using different regularities for time and space. We test both methods using the example of dynamic computerized tomography
