A fascinating story of disappearing publications

  1. The link leads to the Table of Contents of Operator Theory Advances and Applications Vol. 100 Edited by Israel Gohberg.
    Quiz 1 for the reader — find A. Biswas among the contributors.

  2. The 2013 cv lists 7 papers under the title under preparations. Those are:
    1. A. Biswas, Existence and regularity for the tridiagonal model of turbulence.
    2. A. Biswas and C. Foias, Analyticity domain on the attractor for the NavierStokes equations.
    3. A. Biswas and E. Tadmor, Navier-Stokes equations in critical geometric regularity spaces.
    4. A. Biswas, M. Jolly, V. Martinez and E. Titi, Exponential decay of Fourier power spectrum and Kolmogorov dissipation length scale in turbulence.
    5. N. Balci, A. Biswas, M. Jolly and E. Titi, Effect of rotation on turbulent flows.
    6. R. Sundaram, A. Biswas, J. Grewal, S. Laughon, U. Reddy, J. Zhang, Statistical inference for dynamical systems modeling labor progression.
    7. R. Sundaram and A. Biswas, Joint modeling of stress, intercourse and hormonal profiles: a functional data analytic approach.
    Work under preparation is perhaps less surprising to be found on a CV of a junior researcher rather that a tenured Associate Professor thirteen years after PhD with 24 PUBLICATIONS under his belt. Indeed, the UT Austin peers, such as Thomas Chen (PhD 2001) or Nataša Pavlović (PhD 2002) list no under preparation papers at all.

    Quiz 2 for the reader — find the number of the above papers that appear in the 2015 cv under one of the CV publication headings

    answer key to quiz 2
    Well, serious science is not an overnight adventure, to get good results may take years. The majority of the papers (5 out of 7) disappeared into thin air in 2015, but the hope is not yet lost. Perhaps better results can be expected in 2019.
  3. We turn now to publications listed on 2015 cv. There are 25 items listed under PUBLICATIONS (Peer Reviewed Journals), three of those (10, 14, and 22) are not peer reviewed journals articles.

    Next look at the work listed as under preparations in 2015:

    1. A. Biswas and E. Tadmor, Infinite order energy functionals for a class of nonlinear equations in a bounded domain, in preparation.
    2. A. Biswas and C. Foias, Navier-Stokes equations in near Shangri la functional spaces, in preparation.
    3. A. Biswas, M. Jolly, V. Martinez and E. Titi, Effect of rotation on turbulent flows, in preparation.
    4. A. Biswas, M. Jolly and V. Martinez, Behavior of critical Besov norms on the attractor for the Navier-Stokes equations, in preparation.
    5. R. Sundaram and A. Biswas, Statistical inference for dynamical systems modeling labor progression, in preparation.
    6. R. Sundaram, A. Biswas and L. Ma, Joint modeling of stress, intercourse and hormonal profiles: a functional data analytic approach, in preparation.
    Quiz 3 for the reader — find the number of the above papers that appear in the 2019 cv as answer key to quiz 3. With this result we can move on to the next step — future work outlined in 2019 CV.
  4. SUBMITTED/under preparations in 2019
    1. Animikh Biswas and Joshua Hudson, Space and time analyticity for inviscid equations of fluid dynamics, submitted, arxiv:1712.02720v1
    2. J. Bell and A. Biswas, Cross-chemotaxis system derived from an atherosclerotic plaque model, Preprint, arxiv:1511.02304v1 .
    3. A. Biswas and S. Ulusoy, Error analysis of machine learning algorithms for certain linear and nonlinear PDEs, in preparation.
    4. A. Biswas, R. Price and E. S. Titi, Downscaling data assimilation algorithms for the Navier-Stokes equations with stochasic observational and model errors, in preparation.
    5. A. Biswas and R. Price, Statistical data assimilation for the 3D Charney-Stommels ocean circulation model, in preparation.
    6. Animikh Biswas and Thomas I. Seidman, Periodic longitudinal vibrations of a viscoelastic rod, in preparation.
    7. A. Biswas, An inertial delay differential form for the 2D Navier-Stokes equations, in preparation.
    8. A. Biswas, J. Hudson and J. Tian, On the rate of blow-up for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations in analytic Gevrey classes, in preparation.
      BOOK (UNDER PREPARATION)
    9. Animikh Biswas and Ciprian Foias, An elemenary introduction to the mathematical theory of the Navier-Stokes equations and turbulence (tentative title).
    We conclude with the final publication quiz:
    Quiz 4 for the reader — find the number of the above papers that will appear in the future (the answer key to quiz 4 is already provided for reader's convenience).
  5. New type of publications The 2019 cv contains a new rubric "PUBLICATIONS (Non-Peer Reviewed Book Chapter)" that lists

    Chapter VI.5, pages 284 — 288 are an extract of my thesis in Metric constrained
    interpolation, commutant lifting and systems by C. Foias, A. E. Frazho, I. Gohberg
    and M. A. Kaashoek, Operator Theory: Advances and Applications vol. 100, (1998),
    Birkhauser.

    Listing published work of others on one's CV is an innovation that has a potential to make a CV much longer. As a rule when rusults of other are listed in a research work the appropriate credit is given, and Chapter VI.5 is no exception. On page 308, "Notes to Chapter VI:" the authors, Ciprian Foias, Israel Gohberg, Arthur Frazho, and Marinus Adriaan Kaashoek, write "Theorem 5.8 and its proof are due to A. Biswas [1]." The inspection of the volume reveals that Theorem 5.8 and its proof are located on pages 286 — 287. We can only regret that this distinguished group of scientists deprived Dr. Biswas the credit he attributed to himself.
