The evaluation of journals based on their influence is of interest for numerous reasons. Various methods of computing a score have been proposed for measuring the scientific influence of scholarly journals. Typically the computation of any…
This volume is a collection of six papers on the use of auxiliary information and 'a priori' values in construction of improved estimators. The work included here will be of immense application for researchers and students who emply…
Estimators based on influence functions (IFs) have been shown to be effective in many settings, especially when combined with machine learning techniques. By focusing on estimating a specific target of interest (e.g., the average effect of…
The rank of a journal based on simple citation information is a popular measure. The simplicity and availability of rankings such as Impact Factor, Eigenfactor and SciMago Journal Rank based on trusted commercial sources ensures their…
The paper is mostly a survey on recent results in Diophantine approximation, with emphasis on properties of exponents measuring various notions of Diophantine <approximation.
A standard measure of the influence of a research paper is the number of times it is cited. However, papers may be cited for many reasons, and citation count offers limited information about the extent to which a paper affected the content…
In this note we mainly study the fine Jordan-Chevalley decomposition: a refinement of the classical Jordan-Chevalley decomposition of a matrix and we pay a particular attention to the field of the coefficients of the matrix. Moreover we…
This article provides an alternative perspective for measuring author impact by applying PageRank algorithm to a coauthorship network. A weighted PageRank algorithm considering citation and coauthorship network topology is proposed. We test…
Rapid and efficient assessment of the future impact of research articles is a significant concern for both authors and reviewers. The most common standard for measuring the impact of academic papers is the number of citations. In recent…
We study how much injective morphisms can increase the repetitiveness of a given word. This question has a few possible variations depending on the meaning of ``repetitiveness''. We concentrate on fractional exponents of finite words and…
In this paper we obtain new sufficient conditions for representation of a function as an absolutely convergent Fourier integral. Unlike those known earlier, these conditions are given in terms of belonging to weighted spaces. Adding weights…
The definition of the virtual photon impact factor involves the integration of the s-channel discontinuity of the photon-Reggeon scattering amplitude over the right cut. It permits to formulate a new approach for the calculation of the…
By using the notion of wavelength- and angle-averaged reflectance, we assess in a systematic way the performance of finite omnidirectional reflectors. We put forward how this concept can be employed to optimize omnidirectional capabilities.…
This short paper introduces the u-index, a simple and objective metric to evaluate the impact and relevance of academic research output, as a possible alternative to widespread metrics such as the h-index or the i10-index. The proposed…
The present study deals with total internal reflection of a plane electromagnetic wave at an infinite plane boundary between a transparent medium and an amplifying or attenuating lower-index medium. Solutions of Maxwell's equations are…
Citation metrics are becoming pervasive in the quantitative evaluation of scholars, journals and institutions. More then ever before, hiring, promotion, and funding decisions rely on a variety of impact metrics that cannot disentangle…
In this paper we present a thorough analysis of the nature of news in different mediums across the ages, introducing a unique mathematical model to fit the characteristics of information spread. This model enhances the information diffusion…
Author impact evaluation and prediction play a key role in determining rewards, funding, and promotion. In this paper, we first introduce the background of author impact evaluation and prediction. Then, we review recent developments of…
