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 ... -
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 ... -

(Maseno university, 2021)The world is experiencing growth in the number of older persons with those aged 60 years and above projected to double from 1.4 billion in 2015 to 2.8 billion in 2050. According to the Kenya Population and Housing Census, ... -
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 ... -
Deterministic modelling of tuberculosis and Hiv/aids
(Maseno university, 2010)The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic presents ~ massive challenge to the control of recurrent diseases like tuberculosis (TB) at all levels. Tuberculosis is also one of the most common causes of morbidity and ... -
Discriminant analysis of factors that have led to slow decline of HIV/aids prevalence: case study of Maseno
(Maseno University, 2017)HIV/AIDS epidemic has endangered the development of countries in this new century, presenting one of the greatest challenges of this generation and threatening human development. To accomplish an efficient response requires ... -
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 ... -
Efficiencies of reinforced bib and augmented· Block designs in sugarcane test families’ vs Controls experiments
(Maseno university, 2010)The designs used for experimentation generally require making all the possible paired comparisons among the treatments but in plant breeding selection programmes the comparison of interest is usually a subset of all 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. ... -
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 ... -
Forecasting Kenya’s inflation rate using a Varma for price of imported crude oil and Kenya’s previous inflation rate time series
(Maseno university, 2021)Inflation is the persistent rise in the prices of selected goods and services over time. The rate of inflation measures economic performance of a country and is an important economic indicator to economists of any given ... -
Hierarchical logistic regression model for Multilevel analysis: an application on use of Contraceptives among women in Reproductive age in Kenya
(Maseno University, 2017)Contraception allows women and couples to have the number of children they want, when they want them. This is everybody's right according to the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. Use of Contraceptive also reduces ... -
