Modernizing pension fund contribution
(American Journal of Statistics and Actuarial Sciences(AJP), 2021)The purpose of this research is to develop a pension model which uses mobile phone technology to facilitate contribution towards the user’s pension scheme. -
Three Dimensional Mathematical Models for ConvectiveDispersive Flow of Pesticides in Porous Media
(IJESC, 2018)The transport of solutes through porous media where chemicals undergo adsorption or change process on the surface of the porous materials has been a subject of research over years. Usage of pesticides has resulted in ... -
Approximations of Ruin Probabilities Under Financial Constraints
(HIKARI Ltd, 2021)In this paper, we investigate the approximate ruin probabilities un der financial constraints (interest rate, inflation, and taxation). We formulate a risk process whose premium inflow is influenced by the economic effects ... -
Norm Properties of S -Universal Operators
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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 ... -
Models for Level Premiums Payable to Benevolent Funds
(Applied Mathematical Sciences, 2020)The application of multiple life actuarial calculations have been stud ied by many authours for instance Elizondo [3] studied the construction of multiple decrement models from associated single decrement expe riences.He ... -
On Generalized Fibonacci Numbers
(Communications in Advanced Mathematical Sciences, 2020)Fibonacci numbers 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 initial ... -
Refined enumeration of 2-noncrossing trees
(Academic Publishing House, 2021)A 2-noncrossing tree is a connected graph without cycles that can be drawn in the plane with its vertices on the boundary of circle such that the edges are straight line segments that do not cross and all the vertices ... -
On Noncrossing and Plane Tree-Like Structures
(Communications in Advanced Mathematical Sciences, 2021)Mathematical trees are connected graphs without cycles, loops and multiple edges. Various trees such as Cayley trees, plane trees, binary trees, d-ary trees, noncrossing trees among others have been studied extensively. ... -
Reachability results in labelled t-ary trees
(Open Journal of Mathematical Sciences, 2021)In this paper, we prove some new formulas in the enumeration of labelled t-ary trees by path lengths. We treat trees having their edges oriented from a vertex of lower label towards a vertex of higher label. Among other ... -
Effects of inclination angle and free convection on velocity profile for a steady 2-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic fluid flow in an inclined cylindrical pipe
(European Journal of Engineering and Technology Research, 2021)Effects of inclination and free convection on velocity profile for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid flow in an inclined cylindrical pipe has been investigated. The governing partial differential equations are the equations ... -
Temperature Distribution for Magnetohydrodynamic Flow in Straight Horizontal Elliptical Pipe
(Applied Mathematical Sciences, 2021)A study has been carried out on temperature distribution on Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid flow in a pipe of elliptical cross section. Fluid is electrically conducting, viscous and incompressible. Governing equations are ... -
Influence of Teacher’s Perception of in-Service Program on Quality of Teaching Mathematics
(International Journal of Innovative Research and Development, 2020)Pre-service training is not adequate to last teachers for their entire career. Due to advancement in knowledge, technology and curriculum, teachers ought to update on teaching methodologies through In-service Education and ... -
