Conjugate partitions in informetrics: Lorenz curves, h-type indices, Ferrers graphs and Durfee squares in a discrete and continuous setting

Journal of Informetrics, 2010, vol. 4, issue 3, 320-330

Abstract: The well-known discrete theory of conjugate partitions, Ferrers graphs and Durfee squares is interpreted in informetrics. It is shown that partitions and their conjugates have the same h-index, a fact that is not true for the g- and R-index. A modification of Ferrers graph is presented, yielding the g-index.
