Mathematical Model to Determine the Concentration of Fly-Ash at Sony Sugar Company in Kenya
(Maseno University, 2015)Mathematical modeling continues to attract attention of applied math- ematicians, physicists, engineers, biologists, research institutions and oth- ers. This study focuses on air pollution concentration: a case study ... -
Analytic solutions of call and put options of nonlinear black-scholes equation with transaction costs and price slippage
(Maseno University, 2016)A nonlinear Black-Scholes Partial Differential Equation whose nonlinearity is as a result of transaction costs and a price slippage impact that lead to market illiquidity with feedback effects was studied. Most of the ... -
Application of life table model in studying progress of public primary school pupils in Migori sub county, Kenya
(Maseno University, 2016)Education progress plays a very important role in determining the future of a pupil and even in planning for the schools and education sector as a whole. Primary Education forms the basis of implementing Poverty Reduction ... -
On completely positive maps
(Maseno University, 2015)Completely positive maps is an important field due to its significance, application and mathematics itself. While discussing the properties of the positive maps, researchers have questioned whether the properties of the ... -
Existence of some symmetric and non -existence of some non – symmetric balanced incomplete block designs
(Maseno University, 2016)Experimental Design plays a very important role on establishing an interface between Applied Mathematics and statistical applications in several fields, like Agriculture, Industry, Genetics, Biology and Education Sciences. ... -
Deficiency indices and spectra of Fourth order Differential Operators with Unbounded Coefficients on a Hilbert space
(Maseno University, 2016)The concept of unbounded operators provides an abstract framework for dealing with differential operators and unbounded observable such as in quantum mechanics. The theory of unbounded operators was developed by John Von ... -
Flexible parametric prognostic risk score models for short-term risk of aids on patients newly initiated on highly active antiretroviral therapy (haart) in Nyanza, Kenya
(Maseno University, 2015)About 22.9 million people living with HIV/AIDS reside in sub-Saharan Africa, many of whom have progressed to AIDS over time. Kenya has high numbers of new infections; a total of 104,000 in the general population with ... -
The effect of constant and non constant pressure driving force on the power output in a solar chimney power plant
(Maseno University, 2015)Solar energy has a great potential for the future; it is free, its supplies are unlimited, it does not pollute the environment and cannot be controlled by one industry. Currently, the use of solar energy as an alternative ... -
Computation of efficient nash equilibria for experimental economic games
(Maseno University, 2014)Game theory has been used to study a wide variety of human and animal behaviors. It looks for states of equilibrium, sometimes called solutions. Nash equilibrium is the central solution concept with diverse applications ... -
Absolutely Continuous Spectrum of fourth Order Di_erence Operators With unbounded Coe_cients on the Hilbert space `2(N)
(Maseno University, 2015)Sturm-Liouville operators and Jacobi matrices have so far been developed in parallel for many years. A result in one _eld usually leads to a result in the other. However not much in terms of spectral theory has been done ... -
The analysis of gamma strategies for a nonlinear black-scholes equation
(Maseno University, 2014)There has been a significant growth in research in the field of financial mathematics since the derivation of the standard Black-Scholes-Merton Partial Differential Equation by Black and Scholes, and Merton in 1973. The ... -
Arima Model for Forecasting of Monthly Rainfall And Temperature in the Lake Victoria Basin
(Maseno University, 2016)Economic activities in Lake Victoria Basin such as agriculture, sh- ing, mining and transportation depend's heavily on the climatic conditions of the Lake and its Basin. Global climatic change caused by Greenhouse Gas ... -
Norms of elementary operators
(Maseno University, 2015)Properties of elementary operators have been investigated in the recent past under a variety of aspects. Their norms have been a subject of interest for research in operator theory. Specifically, deriving a formula to ... -
Modeling the effects of interference in fertility rate: a case study of Rwanda, Indonesia and Kenya
(Maseno University, 2016)Many studies have been done on fertility for many years. However, very little has been documented in the existing literature concerning modeling of fertility in the presence of interference, yet interference to fertility ... -
Automorphisms of the unit groups of square radical zero, cube radical zero and power four radical zero finite commutative completely primary rings
(Maseno University, 2016)The study of automorphisms of algebraic structures has contributed immensely to many important findings in mathematics. For example, Galois characterized the general degree five single variable polynomials over , by ... -
A mathematical model for the optimal control Of trypanosomiasis in a cattle population
(Maseno University, 2015)Trypanosomiasis is a debilitating disease which is a major constraint to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. It leads to loss of productivity in animals and without treatment it is frequently fatal. The economic ... -
Mathematical modeling of HIV/aids co-infection With tuberculosis and pneumonia incorporating protection
(Maseno University, 2016)The synergistic relationship between HIV/AIDS and respiratory infections, such as tu- berculosis(TB) and pneumonia not only results in high mortality rates but is also a source of economic burden borne by many nations ... -
Certain properties of essential Numerical ranges of bounded Operators on banach spaces
(Maseno University, 2018)Abstract The numerical range of an operator on a Hilbert space has been extensively researched on. The concept of numerical range of an operator goes back as early as 1918 when Toeplitz defined it as the field of values ... -
