A Probabilistic Estimation of the Basic Reproduction Number: A Case of Control Strategy of Pneumonia
(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 ... -
APPLICATION OF MARKOV CHAIN TO M A STUDY OF SAFARICOM SHARES IN
(2015-02-20)Wealth creation is the goal for every investor. The stock market is one attractive area for investment. Nairobi Securities Exchange being an emerging market in the region, it is considered that both foreign and local ... -
Statistical trend analysis of residential water demand in Kisumu City, Kenya
(Science Publishing Group, 2015-04-16)This study sought to analyse trend in the monthly water demand data series in Kisumu city at both seasonal and non-seasonal levels using the parametric method of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and non-parametric methods of ... -
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 …
(Basic Research Journal, 2014)In Kenya the number of persons requiring antiretroviral Therapy (ART) in 2012 was over 90,000 while globally more than 1.4 million were under ART in the year 2012. Though ART treatment has decreased mortality of HIV associated ... -
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. -
Application of Markov chain to model and forecast stock market trend: A study of Safaricom shares in Nairobi Securities Exchange, Kenya
(International Journal of Current Research, 2015-04-28)Wealth creation is the goal for every investor. The stock market is one attractive area for investment. Nairobi Securities Exchange being an emerging market in the region, it is considered that both foreign and local ... -
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 ... -
Norms of Derivations Implemented by S-Universal Operators
(International Journal of Mathematical Analysis, 2011)Let H be a complex Hilbert space and B(H) the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. For A, B ∈ B(H), we define inner derivations implemented by A,B respectively on B(H) by ΔA(X) = AX−XA, ΔB(X) = BX−XB and a ... -
On the Generalized Reid Inequality and the Numerical Radii
(Applied Mathematical Sciences, 2011)In this paper, we extend the generalized Reid inequality to include the numerical radii for the product of two Hilbert space operators. Mathematics Subject Classification: 47A12, 47A30, 47A63 -
Groups of isometries associated with automorphisms of the half-plane
(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 ... -
Cesáro-like operators on the Hardy and Bergman spaces of the half plane
(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
(HIKARI Ltd,, 2017)We study the properties of the essential algebraic numerical range as well as the essential spatial numerical range for Banach space operators. Mathematics Subject Classi cation: 47A10; 47A05; 47A53 -
Spectral analysis of certain groups of isometries on Hardy and Bergman spaces
(Academic Press, 2017-12-15)Using the similarity theory of semigroups as well as spectral theory, we obtain the resolvents of the generators of strongly continuous groups of isometries on the Hardy and Bergman spaces. These groups are obtained as ... -
Weighted Composition Groups on the Little Bloch Space
(Hindawi, 2020-04-29)We determine both the semigroup and spectral properties of a group of weighted composition operators on the little Bloch space. It turns out that these are strongly continuous groups of invertible isometries on the Bloch ...
