    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Físicas e Matemáticas.: Neste trabalho consideramos o grupo livre Fn gerado por n elementos e um conjunto L* de palavras positivas finitas que é fechado por sub-palavras e contêm o elemento neutro. Além disto fixamos um conjunto de isometrias parciais {S1,...,Sn}ÍL(H), onde H é um espaço de Hilbert e a partir destas definimos uma função S:Fn®L(H). De posse do conjunto L* e da função S consideramos três condições, que chamamos de M1, M2 e M3. Enunciamos e demonstramos um resultado que garante que S é uma Representação Parcial de Grupo quando S satisfaz as três condições acima. Finalmente apresentamos um exemplo de uma função S que satisfaz as hipóteses do resultado acima e determinamos o espectro de C*(S(r)S*(r):rÎFn)

    C*-algebras of self-similar graphs over arbitrary graphs

    In this note we extend the construction of a C*-algebra associated to a self- similar graph to the case of arbitrary countable graphs. We reduce the problem to the row-finite case with no sources, by using a desingularization process. Finally, we characterize simplicity in this case.The first-named author was partially supported by CNPq.

    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
