    Averaging of nonautonomous damped wave equations with singularly oscillating external forces

    We consider, for ρ[0,1]\rho\in[0,1] and ε>0\varepsilon>0 small, the nonautonomous weakly damped wave equation with a singularly oscillating external force t2uΔu+γtu=f(u)+g0(t)+ερg1(t/ε), \partial _{t}^{2}u-\Delta u+\gamma \partial_{t}u =-f(u)+g_{0}(t)+\varepsilon ^{-\rho }g_{1}(t/\varepsilon ), together with the {\it averaged} equation t2uΔu+γtu=f(u)+g0(t). \partial _{t}^{2}u-\Delta u+\gamma \partial_{t}u =-f(u)+g_{0}(t). Under suitable assumptions on the nonlinearity and the external force, we prove the uniform (w.r.t.\ ε\varepsilon) boundedness of the attractors Aε\mathcal{A}^\varepsilon in the weak energy space. If ρ<1\rho<1, we establish the convergence of the attractor Aε\mathcal{A}^\varepsilon of the first equation to the attractor A0\mathcal{A}^0 of the second one, as ε0+\varepsilon\to 0^+. On the other hand, if ρ=1\rho=1, this convergence may fail. When A0\mathcal{A}^0 is exponential, then the convergence rate of Aε\mathcal{A}^\varepsilon to A0\mathcal{A}^0 is controlled by MεηM\varepsilon^\eta, for some M0M\geq 0 and some η=η(ρ)(0,1)\eta=\eta(\rho)\in(0,1)

    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
