On Joint Essential Numerical Ranges
(Maseno University, 2013)The concept of numerical range on a Hilbert space was first introduced by O. Toeplitz in 1918 for matrices. This notion was independently ex tended by G. Lumer and F. Bauer in the sixties on finite dimensional Banach ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
(P, Q)-Summing Multipliers
(Maseno University, 2003)Summing multipliers is an important class of operators in the geometric theory of general Banach spaces. They are particularly useful in the study of the structure of the classical spaces. The work done by Grothendieck ... -
Perceptions Versus Realities on Climate Change in the Sugarcane Growing areas of Chemelil and Muhoroni
(Maseno University, 2013)Perception on climate change is a prerequisite for adaptation. A number of studies have been conducted to investigate perceptions on climate change. However, they rarely incorporate analysis of climatic data to corroborate ... -
Prediction of Inflation Rates in Kenya Using Binomial Logistic Regression
(Maseno University, 2019)Inflation is increasingly becoming an important parameter that determines financial performance of central banks worldwide. Although many empirical studies have used time series and vector auto regression models to analyze ... -
Regression analysis of entry behaviour And final performance and one "way Anova of kenyan schools: A Case Study of Nyamira District, Nyamira County
(Maseno University, 2014)The performance in Kenyan Certificate of Primary education (KCPE) is very crucial in determining the learner's final grade in Kenya Certificate of Secondary the learners get admitted to, they can improve, maintain or ... -
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 ... -
Screening new strains sugarcane by augmented block design and randomized complete block design
(Maseno University, 2013)Of the three pillars in which the Kenya vision 2030 is anchored, agriculture is a key sector. Over the past few years the challenges to sugar production i.e. the choice of the variety to plant, soil nutrients variation ... -
Simulation Model Approach on Effect of Manure on Greenhouse Gas Fluxes From Soil in Kaptumo, Kenya.
(Maseno University, 2014)Agriculture, especially livestock keeping contributes significantly to changes in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Research quantifying exchange of GHGs between the biosphere and atmosphere are ... -
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 ... -
Static Optimisation and Welfare Measurement Model: Lagrangean Approach
(Maseno University, 2002)Mathematical models are important as a means of predictions. This thesis set out to develop a welfare measurement model. Welfare is concerned with evaluation of alternative economic situations from the point of view of ... -
Statistical Modeling of a Benevolent Scheme
(Maseno University, 2003)The area of study is on a Benevolent Scheme. Herethe insured contributes premiums to the insuring company and is compensated in the event of death of self or his or her dependant(s). The problem normally experienced by ... -

(Maseno University, 2013)Multivariate statistical analysis of retail business processes was done in this study. Multiple predictor variables were included in the regression model. Meta-analysis of the correlations were also used to explore ... -
Stochastic Analysis of Single Queue Single Server versus Single Queue Multiple Servers Models: A Case Study Of Post Bank and Kenya Commercial Bank
(Maseno University, 2019)Banks play signi cant roles in a country's economy. For this reason many studies have been done on the management and general organization of banks. One such area is on queue management. It is common practice to see ... -
A Stochastic and Deterministic Predator- G Prey Population Model for Sustainable Harvesting: A Case of Nile Perch Lates Niloticus and Nile tilapia Oreochromis Niloticus
(Maseno university, 2012)Predation by Nile perch is one of the main causes of fish stock depletion in Lake Victoria. Uncontrolled human exploitation (overfishing) of the stock leads to loss of fish biodiversity in Lake Victoria. Increasing ... -
