GENERALIZED (ψ, θ, ϕ)-CONTRACTION WITH APPLICATION TO ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
Get PDFWe prove a unique common fixed point theorem and some coupled fixed point results satisfying generalized (ψ, θ, ϕ)-contraction on partially ordered metric spaces. With the help of results established in the first segment, we investigate the solution of periodic boundary value problems as an application. Our results improve, generalize and sharpen various well known results in the literature
MULTIDIMENSIONAL FIXED POINT RESULTS FOR CONTRACTION MAPPING PRINCIPLE WITH APPLICATION
Get PDFThe main aim of this article is to study the existence and uniqueness of fixed point for isotone mappings of any number of arguments under contraction mapping principle on a complete metric space endowed with a partial order. As an application of our result we study the existence and uniqueness of the solution to an integral equation. The results we obtain generalize, extend and unify several classical and very recent related results in the literature in metric spaces
GENERALIZED WEAK CONTRACTION FOR HYBRID PAIR OF MAPPINGS WITH APPLICATION
Get PDFWe establish some common coupled fixed point theorems for hybrid pair of mappings under generalized weak contraction on a non complete metric space, which is not partially ordered. As an application, we study the existence and uniqueness of the solution to an integral equation and also give an example to show the fruitfulness of our results. The results we obtain generalize, extend and improve several classical results in the literature in metric spaces
APPLICATION OF GENERALIZED WEAK CONTRACTION IN PERIODIC BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS
Get PDFThe main aim of this research article is to formulate some fixed point andcoupled fixed point results under generalized weak contraction on Re−metric spaces.As an application, we obtain the solution for periodic boundary value problems andalso give an example to demonstrate the applicability of our results. The obtain resultsgeneralize and improve several well-known results in the existing literature
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
