    Positive and non-positive solutions for an inviscid dyadic model: well-posedness and regularity

    No full text
    We improve regularity and uniqueness results from the literature for the inviscid dyadic model. We show that positive dyadic is globally well-posed for every rate of growth β of the scaling coefficients kn =2βn . Some regularity results are proved for positive solutions, namely sup_n n^{−α} k_n^{1/3} X_n (t) < ∞ for a.e. t and sup_n k_n^{1/3-1/3β} Xn (t) ≤ Ct^{−1/3} for all t. Moreover it is shown that under very general hypothesis, solutions become positive after a finite time

    Stochastic inviscid shell models: well-posedness and anomalous dissipation

    No full text
    In this paper we study a stochastic version of an inviscid shell model of turbulence with multiplicative noise. The deterministic counterpart of this model is quite general and includes inviscid GOY and Sabra shell models of turbulence. We prove global weak existence and uniqueness of solutions for any finite energy initial condition. Moreover energy dissipation of the system is proved in spite of its formal energy conservation

    We prove global existence of smooth solutions for a slightly supercritical hyperdissipative Navier–Stokes under the optimal condition on the correction to the dissipation. This proves a conjecture formulated by Tao

    Structure Function and Fractal Dissipation for an Intermittent Inviscid Dyadic Model

    Full text link
    We study a generalization of the original tree-indexed dyadic model by Katz and PavloviÄ for the turbulent energy cascade of the three-dimensional Euler equation. We allow the coefficients to vary with some restrictions, thus giving the model a realistic spatial intermittency. By introducing a forcing term on the first component, the fixed point of the dynamics is well defined and some explicit computations allow us to prove the rich multifractal structure of the solution. In particular the exponent of the structure function is concave in accordance with other theoretical and experimental models. Moreover, anomalous energy dissipation happens in a fractal set of dimension strictly less than 3

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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 link
    We 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
