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
Stabilizing Decentralized Model Predictive Control of Nonlinear Systems
No full textThis note presents a stabilizing decentralized model predictive control (MPC) algorithm for nonlinear discrete time systems. No information
is assumed to be exchanged between local control laws. The stability proof relies on the inclusion of a contractive constraint in the formulation
of the MPC problem
