Overview

Top Research Topics at Numerical Functional Analysis and Optimization?

The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Mathematical analysis, Applied mathematics, Pure mathematics, Mathematical optimization and Discrete mathematics. Numerical Functional Analysis and Optimization holds forums on Mathematical analysis that merges themes from other disciplines such as Finite element method and Nonlinear system. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Finite element method but it intersects with the subject of Discretization.

It emphasizes research on Applied mathematics, which includes concerns such as Variational inequality. Issues in Pure mathematics were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Type (model theory) and Regular polygon. The journal focused on Mathematical optimization research but expanded to cover Algorithm.

It focuses on Discrete mathematics research which is adjacent to topics in Fixed point.

  • Real number

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal is mainly concerned with subjects like Applied mathematics, Pure mathematics, Type (model theory), Banach space and Fixed point. Variational inequality is a focus of the Applied mathematics works in Numerical Functional Analysis and Optimization. The journal explores topics in Variational inequality which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Inertial frame of reference and Hilbert space.

The research on Pure mathematics featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Linear operators, Class (set theory), Cesàro summation, Space (mathematics) and Dirichlet distribution. Topics in Class (set theory) explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Order (group theory) and Differential equation. The concepts on Fixed point presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Hadamard transform and Regular polygon.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Quasi-Inertial Tseng’s Extragradient Algorithms for Pseudomonotone Variational Inequalities and Fixed Point Problems of Quasi-Nonexpansive Operators (3 citations)
  • p-Convex Functions and Some of Their Properties (2 citations)
  • A Rate of Metastability for the Halpern Type Proximal Point Algorithm (2 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing in Numerical Functional Analysis and Optimization (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Allaberen Ashyralyev (15 papers) absent at the last edition,

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 13.58% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 5.71% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.14% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.29% of all publications and 72.86% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
