Delay-dependent exponential stability analysis for discrete-time switched neural networks with time-varying delay
No full textIn this paper, we focus on the stability problem for discrete-time switched neural networks with time-varying delay resorting to the average dwell time method. In terms of linear matrix inequality approach, a delay-dependent sufficient condition of exponential stability is developed for a kind of switching signal with average dwell time. A numerical example is given to show the validness of the established result.Zheng-Guang Wu, Peng Shi, Hongye Su, Jian Ch
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
Cooperative Semiglobal Robust Output Regulation of Non-Introspective Nonlinear Agents With Partial Normal Form and State-Dependent High-Frequency Gain
No full textThis paper investigates cooperative semig-lobal robust output regulation problem for a class of non-introspective nonlinear multiagent systems. Each agent of this class is allowed to have a partial normal form, instead of only the conventional normal form, with a state-dependent high-frequency gain. Besides, all agents are unaccessible to the controller states of their neighbors. In this setting, if the uniform detectability assumption in the sense of [25] is satisfied, then a robust distributed regulator can be designed with the employment of a distributed nonlinear internal model and a novel distributed extended lower-power high-gain observer, such that the numerical implementation problem is solved and the regulated output of each agent asymptotically converges to the desired reference input robustly with guaranteed domain attraction.Ministry of Education (MOE)This work was supported in part by the Academic Research Fund Tier 1 under Grant 2015-T1-002-135 (RG 168/15), Singapore, in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 61573322, in part by the Open Research Project of the State Key Laboratory of Industrial Control Technology, Zhejiang University, China, under Grant ICT1800420 and in part by the Science Fund for Creative Research Groups of the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 61621002, and National Natural Science Foundation of China 61533013.

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
Delay-dependent stability analysis for discrete-time singular Markovian jump systems with time-varying delay
No full textThis article considers the problem of delay-dependent stability analysis for a class of discrete-time singular systems with Markovian jump and time-varying delay. The transition probabilities in Markov chain are assumed to be partially unknown. In terms of linear matrix inequality approach, the delay-dependent criteria are proposed to ensure the underlying system to be regular, causal and stochastically stable. Several numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and less conservatism of the obtained results. © 2012 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Zheng-Guang Wu, Peng Shi, Hongye Su and Jian Ch
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
