    • A Probabilistic Estimation of the Basic Reproduction Number: A Case of Control Strategy of Pneumonia 

      Ong’ala Jacob Otieno, Mugisha Joseph,Oleche Paul, (cience Publishing Group, 2014)
      Deterministic models have been used in the past to understand the epidemiology of infectious diseases, most importantly to estimate the basic reproduction number, Ro by using disease parameters. However, the approach ...

      J Otieno, JYT Mugisha, BK Nannyonga, P Oleche (HIKARI Ltd, 2014)
      In this paper we study the disease dynamics of trypanosomiasis in a cattle population. The compartmental model presented includes the wild animal population which provides an alternative feeding source for the tsetse ...
    • On the norm of elementary operator 

      Denis Njue Kingangi, John Ogoji Agure, Fredrick Oluoch Nyamwala (Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-07-07)
      The norm of an elementary operator has been studied by many mathematicians. Varied results have been established especially on the lower bound of this norm. Here, we attempt the same problem for finite dimensional operators.

      Job Otieno Bonyo (Mississippi State University, 2015)
      The study of integral operators on spaces of analytic functions has been considered for the past few decades. However, most of the studies in this line are based on spaces of analytic functions of the unit disc. For the ...
    • Combinatorics of oriented trees and tree-like structures

      Isaac Owino Okoth (Stellenbosch University, 2015)

    • Locally oriented noncrossing trees 

      Isaac Owino Okoth, Stephan Wagner (2015)
      We de ne an orientation on the edges of a noncrossing tree induced by the labels: for a noncrossing tree (i.e., the edges do not cross) with vertices 1; 2; : : : ; n arranged on a circle in this order, all edges are ...
    • Norm estimates for convexoid operators 

      Cecil Onyango, Paul Oleche, Bernad N Okelo (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, ...
    • On Characterization of Scalar Operators via Semigroup and the Associated Generators 

      DO Adicka, PO Oleche (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 ...
    • On Regular Prime Graphs of Solvable Groups 

      Donnie Munyao Kasyoki, Paul Odhiambo Oleche (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.

      Walwenda Shadrack Adero, Ingado Daisy, Owino Maurice Oduor (Journal of Mathematics and Statistical Science, 2016)
      Let r be a positive integer and 2 ≤ ∈k . Let ( ) kr k GR p p, be a Galois ring of order kr p and characteristic k p . Consider, ( ) kr k R GR p p U = ,⊕ where U is a finitely generated ( ) kr k GR p p, module. If Z R( ...

      S Ballamoole, JO Bonyo, TL Miller, VG Miller (Springer International Publishing, 2016-01-01)
      We construct integral operators associated with strongly continuous groups of invertible isometries on the Hardy spaces and the weighted Bergman spaces of the upper half plane. Specifically, we obtain the spectrum and point ...
    • Some Properties of the Essential Numerical Range on Banach Spaces 

      LN Muhati, JO Bonyo, JO Agure (HIKARI Ltd,, 2017)

    • On the Numerical Range of a Generalized Derivation 

      FM Runji, JO Agure, FO Nyamwala (HIKARI Ltd,, 2017)

    • Recursive Relation for Zero In ated Poisson Mixture Distributions 

      Cynthia L Anyango, Edgar Otumba, John M Kihoro (2017)
