(Maseno University, 2019)Composition groups has been a topic of interest in the past decades. Most studies have been on spaces of analytic functions of the unit disk. For instance; Matache studied bouncledness and compactness of composition operators; ... -
Spectral Properties of Semigroups of Weighted Composition Operators on the Bloch Space
(Maseno University, 2019)Semigroups of composition operators on spaces of analytic functions have interested mathematicians for many years. The breakthrough in Hardy spaces was given by Berkson and Porta. On Bergman and Dirichlet spaces, Siskakis ... -
Reproducing Kernel for The Dirichlet Space of The Upper Half - Plane and Ces_Aro Type Operator
(Maseno University, 2020)Reproducing kernels for spaces of analytic functions continues to be of interest to many mathematicians. Most studies have concentrated on the analytic spaces of the unit disk. Reproducing kernels for the Bergman, Hardy ... -
Enumeration of Trees With Local Orientation by Degree Sequences and Reachability of Vertices
(Maseno University, 2020)Trees in which edges are oriented from a vertex of lower label towards a vertex of higher label, commonly referred to as locally oriented trees, were introduced by Du and Yin in an attempt to solve a problem conjectured ... -
Modelling delay in migration for constant predator And predator-density-dependent prey migration
(Maseno University, 2020)ABSTRACT Predator-prey models describe the dynamics of ecological systems in which two species, the predator and the prey, interact. The classical Lotka-Volterra model is the simplest predator-prey model. Migration of ... -
Model selection in generalized estimating Equations based on kullback’s i-divergence
(Maseno University, 2020)The method of Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) is often used in analyzing correlated longitudinal data and does provide consistent estimates which are robust to misspecification of the working correlation structure. ... -
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 ... -
