    • Norm Properties of S -Universal Operators 

      MUHOLO Joshua, BONYO,Job (Communications in Advanced Mathematical Sciences, 2020)
      We investigate the norm properties of a generalized derivation on a norm ideal J in B(H), the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. Specifically, we extend the concept of S−universality from the inner ...

    • Spectra of Composition Groups on the Weighted Dirichlet Space of the Upper Half-Plane 

      M. O. Agwang & J. O. Bonyo (Springer, 2020)
      We prove that the group of weighted composition operators induced by contin uous automorphism groups of the upper half plane U is strongly continuous on the weighted Dirichlet space of U, Dα(U). Further, we investigate ...

    • On the Norm of a Generalized Derivation 

      Odero Adhiambo Beatrice, J. O. Agure,F. O. Nyamwala (HIKARI Ltd, 2019)
      Let H be an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space and B(H) the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. For two bounded operators A, B ∈ B(H), the map δAB : B(H) → B(H) is a generalized inner derivation operator ...

    • Farmer versus Researcher data collection methodologies: Understanding variations and associated trade-offs 

      Hannington Ochieng1, 2* , John Ojiem1 , Joyce Otieno2 (2019)
      The number of non-experts (such as farmers) participating in research activities has increased over the years, with the aim of them addressing their heterogeneous conditions. The situation has resulted in them being ...

    • Comparative Analysis of Spectral Theory of Second Order Difference and Differential Operators with Unbounded Odd Coefficient 

      Fredrick Oluoch Nyamwala, David Otieno Ambogo, Joyce Mukhwana Ngala (KYUNGPOOK, 2020)
      We show that selfadjoint operator extensions of minimal second order differ ence operators have only discrete spectrum when the odd order coefficient is unbounded but grows or decays according to specific conditions. ...

    • NOTIONS OF CONTINUITY FOR FINITE RANK MAPS IN THE SPACE OF NORMAL OPERATORS 

      J. A. OTIENO1 , D. O. AMBOGO, AND F. O. NYAMWALA (2020)
      We show that a natural extension of a continuous finite rank operator to an arbitrary Hilbert space is continuous. We also give sufficient conditions to calculate delta- epsilon numbers in all the domains of T. In addition, we ...

    • Fitting Wind Speed to a Two Parameter Distribution Model Using Maximum Likelihood Estimation Method 

      Okumu Otieno Kevin1 , Edgar Otumba2 , Alilah Anekeya David3 , John Matuya1 (Science Publishing Group, 2020)
      Kenya is among the countries that are continuously investing in wind energy to meet her electricity demand. Kenya is working towards its vision 2030 of achieving a total of 2GW of energy from wind industry. To achieve ...

    • On some properties of generalized Fibonacci polynomials 

      Fidel Oduol (Open Journal of Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2020)
      Fibonacci 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 initial conditions. In ...
