Stochastic modeling of citation slips

M. V. Simkin, V. P. Roychowdhury

We present empirical data on frequency and pattern of misprints in citations to twelve high-profile papers. We find that the distribution of misprints, ranked by frequency of their…

Copied citations create renowned papers?

M. V. Simkin, V. P. Roychowdhury

Recently we discovered (cond-mat/0212043) that the majority of scientific citations are copied from the lists of references used in other papers. Here we show that a model, in whic…

Read before you cite!

M. V. Simkin, V. P. Roychowdhury

We report a method of estimating what percentage of people who cited a paper had actually read it. The method is based on a stochastic modeling of the citation process that explain…

What is the true dropped calls rate when in the test it was found to be zero?

M. V. Simkin, J. Olness

We study the distributions of dropped calls rates for different wireless (cellular) carriers in different markets. Our statistics comprises over 700 different market/carrier combin…

Application of the renormalization group method in wireless market intelligence

M. V. Simkin, J. Olness

We use a renormalization group method, similar to that developed for random spin chains, to infer information about the layouts of cellular wireless networks.

Umklapp Scattering and Heat Conductivity of Superlattices

M. V. Simkin, G. D. Mahan

The mean free path of phonons in superlattices is estimated. It is shown to be strongly dependent on the superlattice period due to the Umklapp scattering in subbands. It first fal…
