    A new description of perfectly one-factorable cubic graphs

    No full text
    A perfectly one-factorable (P1F) regular graph is a graph admitting a partition of the edge-set into one-factors such that the union of any two of them is a Hamiltonian cycle. The case of cubic graphs is treated. The existence of a P1F cubic graph is guaranteed for each admissible value of the number of vertices. A description of this class was obtained by Kotzig in 1962. It is the purpose of the present paper to produce an alternative proof of Kotzig’s result

    Perfect one-factorizations in generalized Petersen graphs

    No full text
    A perfectly one-factorable (P1F) regular graph G is a graph admitting a partition of the edge-set into one-factors such that the union of any two of them is a Hamiltonian cycle. We consider cubic graphs. The existence of a P1F cubic graph is guaranteed for each admissible value of the number of vertices. We give conditions for determining P1F graphs within a subfamily of generalized Petersen graphs

    Assuming that a linear complex of planes without singular lines exists, the properties of the related generalized polarity are investigated

    For each finitely generated abelian group G, we construct a 1-factorization of the countable complete graph admitting G as an automorphism group acting sharply transitively on vertices

    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
