    In a (G1,G2)(G^1,G^2) coloring of a graph GG, every edge of GG is in G1G^1 or G2G^2. For two bipartite graphs H1H_1 and H2H_2, the bipartite Ramsey number BR(H1,H2)BR(H_1, H_2) is the least integer b1b\geq 1, such that for every (G1,G2)(G^1, G^2) coloring of the complete bipartite graph Kb,bK_{b,b}, results in either H1G1H_1\subseteq G^1 or H2G2H_2\subseteq G^2. As another view, for bipartite graphs H1H_1 and H2H_2 and a positive integer mm, the mm-bipartite Ramsey number BRm(H1,H2)BR_m(H_1, H_2) of H1H_1 and H2H_2 is the least integer nn (nm)(n\geq m) such that every subgraph GG of Km,nK_{m,n} results in H1GH_1\subseteq G or H2GH_2\subseteq \overline{G}. The size of mm-bipartite Ramsey number BRm(K2,2,K2,2)BR_m(K_{2,2}, K_{2,2}), the size of mm-bipartite Ramsey number BRm(K2,2,K3,3)BR_m(K_{2,2}, K_{3,3}) and the size of mm-bipartite Ramsey number BRm(K3,3,K3,3)BR_m(K_{3,3}, K_{3,3}) have been computed in several articles up to now. In this paper we determine the exact value of BRm(K2,2,K4,4)BR_m(K_{2,2}, K_{4,4}) for each m2m\geq 2

    We define a (V1,V2,,Vk)(V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_k)-partition for a given graph HH and graphical properties P1,P2,,PkP_1, P_2, \ldots, P_k as a partition where each ViV_i induces a subgraph of HH with property PiP_i. Matamala (2007) extended this result by showing that for any graph HH with Δ(H)=p+q\Delta(H)=p+q, there exists a (V1,V2)(V_1, V_2)-partition of V(H)V(H) where H[V1]H[V_1] is a maximum order (p1)(p-1)-degenerate induced subgraph and H[V2]H[V_2] is (q1)(q-1)-degenerate. Additionally, Catlin and Lai proved that if Δ(H)5\Delta(H)\geq 5, HH has a (V1,V2)(V_1, V_2)-partition such that H[V1]H[V_1] is a maximum order acyclic induced subgraph, ω(H[V2])Δ(H)2\omega(H[V_2])\leq \Delta(H)-2, and Δ(H[V2])Δ(H)2\Delta(H[V_2])\leq \Delta(H)-2. Rowshan and Taherkhani demonstrated that given a graph GG with a minimum degree δ(G)\delta(G) and for k=Δ(H)δ(G)k=\lceil \frac{\Delta(H)}{\delta(G)}\rceil, there exists a (V1,V2,,Vk)(V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_k)-partition of the vertex set of HH, such that each H[Vi]H[V_i] is GG-free, meaning it does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to GG, and H[V1]H[V_1] is a maximum order GG-free induced subgraph. In our paper, we present a novel result for a connected graph HH with Δ(H)5\Delta(H)\geq 5 and without KΔ(H)+1eK_{\Delta(H)+1}\setminus e as a subgraph. We establish that when p1p2pk12p_1\geq p_2\geq\cdots\geq p_{k-1}\geq 2, pk4p_k\geq 4, i=1kpi=Δ(H)1+k\sum_{i=1}^k p_i=\Delta(H)-1+k, and Gi\mathcal{G}_i represents a family of graphs with a minimum degree at least pi1p_i-1 for each i[k1]i\in [k-1], a (V1,V2,,Vk)(V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_k)-partition of V(H)V(H) exists. This partition guarantees that H[V1]H[V_1] is a maximum order G1\mathcal{G}_1-free induced subgraph, H[Vi]H[V_i] is Gi\mathcal{G}_i-free for each 2ik12\leq i\leq k-1, Δ(H[Vk])pk\Delta(H[V_k])\leq p_k, and either H[Vk]H[V_k] is KpkK_{p_k}-free or its pkp_k-cliques are disjoint

    The bipartite Ramsey number BR(H1,H2,,Hk)BR(H_1,H_2,\ldots,H_k), is the smallest positive integer bb, such that each kk-decomposition of E(Kb,b)E(K_{b,b}) contains HiH_i in the ii-th class for some i,1iki, 1\leq i\leq k. As another view of bipartite Ramsey numbers, for given two bipartite graphs H1H_1 and H2H_2 and a positive integer mm, the mm-bipartite Ramsey number BRm(H1,H2)BR_m(H_1, H_2), is defined as the least integer nn, such that any subgraph of Km,nK_{m,n} say HH, results in H1HH_1\subseteq H or H2HH_2\subseteq \overline{H}. The size of BRm(K2,2,K3,3)BR_m(K_{2,2}, K_{3,3}), BRm(K2,2,K4,4)BR_m(K_{2,2}, K_{4,4}) for each mm, and the size of BRm(K3,3,K3,3)BR_m(K_{3,3}, K_{3,3}) for some mm, have been determined in several papers up to now. Also, it is shown that BR(K2,2,K5,5)=17BR(K_{2,2}, K_{5,5})=17. In this article, we compute the size of BRm(K2,2,K5,5)BR_m(K_{2,2}, K_{5,5}) for some m2m\geq 2

    Borodin-Kostochka conjecture and Partitioning a graph into classes with no clique of specified size

    For a given graph HH and the graphical properties P1,P2,,PkP_1, P_2,\ldots,P_k, a graph HH is said to be (V1,V2,,Vk)(V_1, V_2,\ldots,V_k)-partitionable if there exists a partition of V(H)V(H) into kk-sets V1,V2,VkV_1, V_2\ldots,V_k, such that for each i[k]i\in[k], the subgraph induced by ViV_i has the property PiP_i. In 19791979, Bollob\'{a}s and Manvel showed that for a graph HH with maximum degree Δ(H)3\Delta(H)\geq 3 and clique number ω(H)Δ(H)\omega(H)\leq \Delta(H), if Δ(H)=p+q\Delta(H)= p+q, then there exists a (V1,V2)(V_1,V_2)-partition of V(H)V(H), such that Δ(H[V1])p\Delta(H[V_1])\leq p, Δ(H[V2])q\Delta(H[V_2])\leq q, H[V1]H[V_1] is (p1)(p-1)-degenerate, and H[V2]H[V_2] is (q1)(q-1)-degenerate. Assume that p1p2pk2p_1\geq p_2\geq\cdots\geq p_k\geq 2 are kk positive integers and i=1kpi=Δ(H)1+k\sum_{i=1}^k p_i=\Delta(H)-1+k. Assume that for each i[k]i\in[k] the properties PiP_i means that ω(H[Vi])pi1\omega(H[V_i])\leq p_i-1. Is HH a (V1,,Vk)(V_1,\ldots,V_k)-partitionable graph? In 1977, Borodin and Kostochka conjectured that any graph HH with maximum degree Δ(H)9\Delta(H)\geq 9 and without KΔ(H)K_{\Delta(H)} as a subgraph, has chromatic number at most Δ(H)1\Delta(H)-1. Reed proved that the conjecture holds whenever Δ(G)1014 \Delta(G) \geq 10^{14} . When p1=2p_1=2 and Δ(H)9\Delta(H)\geq 9, the above question is the Borodin and Kostochka conjecture. Therefore, when all pip_is are equal to 22 and Δ(H)8\Delta(H)\leq 8, the answer to the above question is negative. Let HH is a graph with maximum degree Δ\Delta, and clique number ω(H)\omega(H), where ω(H)Δ1\omega(H)\leq \Delta-1. In this article, we intend to study this question when k2k\geq 2 and Δ13\Delta\geq 13. In particular as an analogue of the Borodin-Kostochka conjecture, for the case that Δ13\Delta\geq 13 and pi2p_i\geq 2 we prove that the above question is true

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    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 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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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
