Mathematical informetrics: Hirsch-type equations and bundles

Author

  • Egghe, Leo

Abstract

We define Hirsch-type equations and bundles being common generalizations of the defining equations of e.g. Hirsch-bundles, g-bundles, and Kosmulski-bundles. In this way, common properties of all these bundles can be proved. The main result proves basic inequalities for these bundles. They form the basis for convergence results as well as for criteria for these bundles to be impact bundles.
