Norm estimates for convexoid operators
(JOOUST, 2015-06-24)Hilbert space operators are important in formulation of principles of quantum mechanics and also in other fields of applied sciences. These operators include normal operators, hyponormal operators, normaloid operators, ... -
Modeling trailer-traffic flow on a Kenyan highway
(2014)Traffic flow modelling is studied in order to ease congestion on roads. However, congestion is also caused by irregular occurrences, such as traffic accidents, poor roads, vehicle disablement, spilled loads and hazardous ... -
On Characterization of Scalar Operators via Semigroup and the Associated Generators
(Hikari Ltd, 2016)In this paper, we characterize the scalar operators by using the semigroup theory and the corresponding generators of (α, α + 1) type R operators. In particular, we show that if a densely defined operator H generates a ... -
Modelling of distribution of the “Matatu” traffic flow using Poisson distribution in a highway in Kenya
(HIKARI Ltd, 2018)Traffic congestion in urban road and freeway networks leads to strong degradation of the network infrastructure and accordingly reduced output. Expansion of the available transportation continues to be one of the solution ... -
The application of logistic regression in modeling of survival chances of HIV-positive patients under highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART): A case of Nyakach District …

On Regular Prime Graphs of Solvable Groups
(Hikari Ltd, 2016)Let G be a finite solvable group and∆(G) be the prime vertex graph on cd (G). We show that if∆(G) is noncomplete and regular, then G is the direct product of groups with disconnected graphs of 2 vertices. -

4-Regular prime graphs of nonsolvable groups
(CORNELL UNIVERSITY, 2019-01-11)Let G be a finite group and cd(G) denote the character degree set for G. The prime graph ∆(G) is a simple graph whose vertex set consists of prime divisors of elements in cd(G), denoted ρ(G). Two primes p, q ∈ ρ(G) are ... -
