Dimensional lower bounds for contact surfaces of Cheeger sets
Full text linkWe carry out an analysis of the size of the contact surface between a Cheeger set E and its ambient space Ω⊂Rd. By providing bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of the contact surface ∂E∩∂Ω, we show a fruitful interplay between this size itself and the regularity of the boundaries. Eventually, we obtain sufficient conditions to infer that the contact surface has positive (d−1) dimensional Hausdorff measure. Finally we prove by explicit examples in two dimensions that such bounds are optimal
Evolution equations with nonlocal initial conditions and superlinear growth
Full text linkWe carry out an analysis of the existence of solutions for a class of nonlinear partial differential equations of parabolic type. The equation is associated to a nonlocal initial condition, written in general form which includes, as particular cases, the Cauchy multipoint problem, the weighted mean value problem and the periodic problem. The dynamic is transformed into an abstract setting and by combining an approximation technique with the Leray-Schauder continuation principle, we prove global existence results. By the compactness of the semigroup generated by the linear operator, we do not assume any Lipschitzianity, nor compactness on the nonlinear term or on the nonlocal initial condition. In addition, the exploited approximation technique coupled to a Hartman-type inequality argument, allows to treat nonlinearities with superlinear growth. Moreover, regarding the periodic case, we are able to show the existence of at least one periodic solution on the half line.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
An Introduction to Barenblatt Solutions for Anisotropic p-Laplace Equations
Full text linkWe introduce Fundamental solutions of Barenblatt type for the parabolic anisotropic equation [..] and we prove their importance for the regularity properties of the solutions
Boundedness, ultracontractive bounds and optimal evolution of the support for doubly nonlinear anisotropic diffusion
No full textWe investigate some regularity properties of a class of doubly nonlinear anisotropic evolution equations whose model case is (Formula presented.) where α>0 and pi∈(1,∞). We obtain super and ultracontractive bounds, and global boundedness in space for solutions to the Cauchy problem with initial data in Lα+1(RN), and show that the mass is nonincreasing over time. As a consequence, compactly supported evolution is shown for optimal exponents. We introduce a seemingly new paradigm, by showing that Caccioppoli estimates, local boundedness and semicontinuity are consequences of the membership to a suitable energy class. This membership is proved by first establishing the continuity of the map t↦|u|α-1u(·,t)∈Lloc1+1/α(Ω) permitting us to use a suitable mollified weak formulation along with an appropriate test function
Gaussian estimates vs. elliptic regularity on open sets

To this end, we generalize an equivalence theorem of Auscher and Tchamitchian to the case of mixed boundary conditions and to open sets far beyond Lipschitz domains. Yet, we prove the consistency of our abstract result by encompassing operators with real-valued coefficients and their small complex perturbations into one of the aforementioned equivalent properties. The resulting kernel bounds open the door for developing a harmonic analysis for the associated semigroups on rough open sets
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
