Norms of generalized derivations on norm ideals
(Maseno University, 2019)The norms of inner and generalized derivations on different kinds of algebras have been determined. However, the norms of their restrictions to norm ideals have not been fully explored. For instance, the concept of ... -
Numerical Solutions of Burgers Equation Using Hybrid Methods
(Maseno University, 2016)Research on Burgers equation: u_t + 〖uu〗_x = 〖αu〗_xx which is a second order nonlinear partial differential equation is gaining interest for its application and mathematics itself. It arises in model studies of turbulence ... -

On Joint Essential Numerical Ranges
(Maseno University, 2013)The concept of numerical range on a Hilbert space was first introduced by O. Toeplitz in 1918 for matrices. This notion was independently ex tended by G. Lumer and F. Bauer in the sixties on finite dimensional Banach ... -
On Schwarz norms
(Maseno University, 2015)Abstract Investigation of the properties of the numerical radius by Berger and Stampfli showed that indeed numerical radius norm is a Schwarz norm. Later on James P.Williams determined a family of distinct Schwarz norms ... -
On shifted Fibonacci sequences and Their polynomials
(Maseno University, 2020)Fibonacci sequences and their polynomials have been generalized mainly by two ways: by maintaining the recurrence relation and varying the initial conditions and by varying the recurrence relation and maintaining the ... -
