I came up with the solution below.
Maybe someone else here has a better approach.
*let **$path* :=
"/contrib-group/contrib[@contrib-type='author']/author-name-string"
*let* *$collation* := "http://marklogic.com/collation/en/S2";
*let* *$options* := ("type=string", "collation=" ||
*$collation*)
*let* *$ref* := *cts:path-reference*(*$path*, *$options*)
*let* *$value-matches* := *let **$matches* :=
*cts:value-match* (*$ref*, *$author*)
*return*
*if* (*$matches*) *then*
*$matches*
*else*
""
*return*
*cts:path-range-query* (*$path*, "=",
*$value-matches*, "collation=" || *$collation*)
