Generalizations on normal self-ad joint operators
(JGRMA, 2017-09)We consider certain properties of operators. A lot of studies have been done on reflexivity, compactness and numerical radius attainability on Hilbert space operators [1-12] and the reference therein. -
Fine tuning the microenvironment of [EuW10O36]9- anion leads to the large enhancement of the red light luminescence
(Elsevier, 2017-12)The polyoxometalate (POM) anion of europium (III) decatungstate [EuW10O36]9-exhibits great luminescence quantum yields of approximately 67% but suffers reduced red light emissions that are due to the low 5D0→7F2 transmissions. ... -
On the similarities in properties of essential numerical range and Davis-Wielandt shell of Hilbert space operators
(International Journal of Innovative Research and Advanced Studies (IJIRAS), 2017-07)Let be an operator on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space . Denote the essential numerical range of the operator by and the Davis-Wielandt shell of the operator by . We review the properties of the essential numerical ... -
Numerical solution of dynamic vibration equations
(International Journal of mathematical Archive, 2011-09)In this paper, we examine conservative autonomous dynamic vibration equation, , which is time vibration of the displacement of a structure due to the internal forces, with no damping or external ... -
Symmetry group approach to the solution of generalized burgers equation: Ut + UUx = λUxx
(2013)Symmetry of a system of differential equations is a transformation that maps any solution to another solution of the system. In Lie’s framework such transformations are groups that depend on continuous parameters and ... -
On the structures of quotient groups
(Academic Publications, 5/22/2009)Let J be the Jacobson radical of a commutative completely primary finite ring R such that J k 6= (0) and J k+1 = (0). Then R/J ∼= GF(p r ), the finite field of p r elements, and the characteristic of R is p k where k ≥ 2 ... -
Analytic solution of a nonlinear black-scholes partial differential equation
(Academic Publications, 5/10/2010)We study a nonlinear Black-Scholes partial differential equation whose nonlinearity is as a result of a feedback effect. This is an illiquid market effect arising from transaction costs. An analytic solution to the nonlinear ... -
Modeling co-infection of paediatric Malaria and Pneumonia
(Int. Journal of Math. Analysis, 2013)Malaria and persistent childhood diseases are a major threat to child survival in the developing world. In this paper, we develop and analyse a mathematical model for paediatric malaria and pneumonia co-infection. We ... -
Construction of nominal yield curve for Nairobi securities exchange: an improvement on monotone preserving r(t)t interpolation method
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2015-11)There is no agreed-upon method used to construct yield curves at the Nairobi Securities Exchange. The existing practice is that each financial company uses in-house methods to construct the yield curves for their pricing ... -
Incremental modernization of statistics teaching and curriculum at Maseno University, Kenya
(ISI/IASE], 2010)Modernisation of statistics teaching is a continual problem the world over. The advances in statistical methods and tools along with the growing demand of applied practitioners creates a dual need of people with the ... -
In vitro antimicrobial activity of methanolic extracts of different Senna didymobotrya (Fresen.) H. S. Irwin & Barneby plant parts
(Editorial Manager® and ProduXion Manager® from Aries Systems Corporation, 2015)Background: Herbal medicines are used widely for primary health care in Kenya among rural populations where modern medicines are not affordable. The flowers, roots, stems and leaves of Senna didymobotrya have both antifungal ... -
Bioactive carbazole alkaloids from Alysicarpus ovalifolius (Schumach)
(The Korean Society for Applied Biological Chemistry, 2015-08-19)Phytochemical and biological evaluation of the stem bark of Alysicarpus ovalifolius led to the isolation of three carbazole alkaloids identified as mohanimbine (1), koenimbine (2) and koenidine (3) along with quercetin ... -
The algebra of smooth functions of rapid descent
(2009)A bounded operator with the spectrum lying in a compact set V ⊂ R, has C∞(V ) functional calculus. On the other hand, an operator H acting on a Hilbert space H, admits a C(R) functional calculus if H is self-adjoint. So ... -
Operators with slowly growing resolvents towards the spectrum
(Academic Publications, 1/13/2009)A closed densely defined operator H, on a Banach space X, whose spectrum is contained in R and satisfies (z −H)−1 ≤ c hziα |=z|β ∀ z 6∈ R (0.1) for some α , β ≥ 0; c > 0, is said to be of (α, β)−type R . If instead of (0.1) ...
