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 ... -
On The Algebraic Numerical Range of the Basic Elementary Operator and Norm of a Generalized Derivation
(Maseno University, 2020)An elementary operator is a bounded linear map defined on the set of bounded linear operators acting on an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space H. Various forms of elementary operators have been studied in the past ... -
On the design and functionality of a solar chimney, Solar pressure-staged wind tunnel electric power Generating plant and an integrating sphere Calorimeter. I . I \
(Maseno University, 2009)The design and application of solar chimney and solar pressure-staged wind tunnel electric power generating plants involve the understanding of parameters which affect their operations and utilization. The size and ... -
On the Essential Numerical Range
(Maseno University, 2013)The convexity. closure and compactness of the numerical range among other properties constitute a considerable literature in operator theory. The properties of the essential numerical range and how they are related to ... -
On the numerical ranges and Spectra of normal operators
(Maseno university, 2010)The study of numerical ranges and spectra has been of great interest to many mathematicians in the past decades. In this study, we have continued to look at the numerical ranges and spectra of operators .on a Hilbert space. ... -
Operation of mutation on Polar quivers
(Maseno university, 2009)In recent times, there has been a lot of interest in the study of quivers, both by mathematicians and theoretical physicists. We introduce a new concept of polar quivers and their mutation. The idea of polar quivers arises ... -
Optical Properties of Seloo-Xbix Thin Films Deposited On Glass Substrates by Flash Evaporation Method
(Maseno University, 2014)The global need for sustainable energy production is pushing scientific research towards the development of inexpensive thin film solar cells which can compete with established commercial silicon-based technologies. These ... -
Optimal investment strategies of a defined Contribution pension fund
(Maseno University, 2019)The issue that a pension fund manager faces is how to optimize his/her investment strategies. The question we solve is the optimal design of the minimum guarantee in a defined contribution pension Fund Scheme. We study ... -
Optimization of Graphene oxide with methyl-β-Cyclodextrin and carbon Nanotubes with Polypyrrole for removal of lead (ii) and copper (ii) ions from water
(Maseno University, 2018)ABSTRACT Heavy metals pose risks to the humans and the environment. Lead (II) and copper (II) are of particular concern because they can cause irreversible damage to vital body organs. Their sources include leaded paints, ... -
