The -bipartite Ramsey number
In a coloring of a graph , every edge of is in or . For two bipartite graphs and , the bipartite Ramsey number is the least integer , such that for every coloring of the complete bipartite graph , results in either or . As another view, for bipartite graphs and and a positive integer , the -bipartite Ramsey number of and is the least integer such that every subgraph of results in or . The size of -bipartite Ramsey number , the size of -bipartite Ramsey number and the size of -bipartite Ramsey number have been computed in several articles up to now. In this paper we determine the exact value of for each
Vertex Partitions and Maximum \G-free Subgraphs
We define a -partition for a given graph and
graphical properties as a partition where each
induces a subgraph of with property . Matamala (2007) extended this
result by showing that for any graph with , there exists a
-partition of where is a maximum order
-degenerate induced subgraph and is -degenerate.
Additionally, Catlin and Lai proved that if , has a -partition such that is a maximum order acyclic induced subgraph,
, and .
Rowshan and Taherkhani demonstrated that given a graph with a minimum
degree and for , there
exists a -partition of the vertex set of , such
that each is -free, meaning it does not contain a subgraph
isomorphic to , and is a maximum order -free induced subgraph.
In our paper, we present a novel result for a connected graph with
and without as a subgraph. We
establish that when , ,
, and represents a family of
graphs with a minimum degree at least for each , a -partition of exists. This partition guarantees that
is a maximum order -free induced subgraph, is
-free for each , , and
either is -free or its -cliques are disjoint

article, we compute the size of for some
Borodin-Kostochka conjecture and Partitioning a graph into classes with no clique of specified size
For a given graph and the graphical properties , a
graph is said to be -partitionable if there exists a
partition of into -sets , such that for each

Bollob\'{a}s and Manvel showed that for a graph with maximum degree

-partitionable graph?
In 1977, Borodin and Kostochka conjectured that any graph with maximum
degree and without as a subgraph, has
chromatic number at most . Reed proved that the conjecture holds
whenever .
When and , the above question is the Borodin and
Kostochka conjecture. Therefore, when all s are equal to and
, the answer to the above question is negative. Let is a
graph with maximum degree , and clique number , where
. In this article, we intend to study this question
when and . In particular as an analogue of the
Borodin-Kostochka conjecture, for the case that and
we prove that the above question is true
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
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
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
