Abstract/Overview This study presents a Mathematical Model Insulin Therapy in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus which includes external rate at which blood glucose, insulin and epinephrine are being increased in the form, Y =AY+r (t) and whose solution was analyzed to provide the systems natural frequency, 0 , which is the basic descriptor of saturation level of the drug. It was established that the resonance period for the final model, that is, T 0 =3.76912 hrs, is in the accepta...
Abstract/Overview 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 in a Banach space setting, we really desire a large enough intermediate topological algebra A, with C∞ 0 (R) ⊂ A ⊆ C(R) such that spectral operators or some sort of their restrictions, admit a A functional calculus. In this paper we construct su...
Abstract/Overview It is known that the Hilbert space H is the most rotund space among all Banach spaces. The question whether if a normed space X is a rotund Banach space implies we can obtain other most rotund spaces is still open and represents one of the most interesting and studied problems. In this paper we investigate if there exists other most rotund Banach spaces. It is shown that Frechet spaces are very rotund and also uniformly rotund.
Abstract/Overview The notion of compactness plays an important role in analysis. It has been extensively discussed on both metric and topological spaces. Various properties of compactness have been proved under the underlying spaces. However, if we consider these sets to be from similarity orbits of norm-attainable operators; little has been done to investigate their compactness. In this paper, we introduce the concept of compactness of similarity orbits of norm-attainable operators in as...
Abstract/Overview In this paper we characterize norm-attainable elementary operators, we show that 𝛿 𝑃,𝑄 is norm-attainable if both P and Q are norm-attainable and𝛿𝑃,𝑄 is norm-attainable 𝛿𝑃,𝑄if is normally represented.
Abstract/Overview Let X be a Banach space and T: X→Y be a linear operator, then Tis compact if it maps bounded sequences in X to sequences in Y with convergent subsequences, that is, if xn ∈ X is a bounded sequence, then T xn ∈ Y has a convergent subsequence say, T xnk in Y. The eigenvalue of an operator T, is a scalar λ if there is a nontrivial solution x such that T x=λ x. Such an x is called an eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue λ. A vector space is complete if every ...
Abstract/Overview The notion of dense sets has been extensively discussed on both metric and topological spaces. Various properties of the sets have been proved under the underlying spaces. However, if we consider these sets to be from similarity orbits where a topology has been developed on them, little has been done to investigate their denseness. In this paper, we introduce the concept of denseness of similarity orbits of norm-attainable operators in aspect of generalized sets in topol...
Abstract Purpose: Ready-to-eat fast food vending outlets provide a cheap and readily available food. Foodborne diseases have been previously reported in Embu, Kenya, but data on the prokaryotic metagenome in vended foods is scanty. This study aimed to determine the prokaryotic diversity in fruits, vegetable salad, African sausage, chips (potato fries), fried fish, roasted beef (meat), smokies, samosa, soil, and water collected from food vendors and the surrounding environment in Embu Town an...
Abstract/Overview The Business of advancing credits is gradually becoming a major target for many banks, as a result there is high competition among the financial institutions leading to default of most credits. In order to raise the quality of advancing credits and reducing the risk involved thereafter, CSM’s have been developed to improve the process of assessing credit worthiness during the credit evaluation process. Previous repayments, demographic characteristics and statistical te...
Abstract/Overview The present study addresses the problem of minimum cost and precision in the estimation of the population mean in the presence of nonresponse and measurement errors. It is assumed that both the survey variable and the auxiliary variable suffer from nonresponse and measurement errors in the second phase sample. A ratio, exponential ratio-ratio type, and exponential product-ratio type estimators of the population mean are proposed using the information on a single auxiliar...
Abstract/Overview Several investigations have been done on positive maps on their algebraic structures with more emphasis on completely positive maps. In this study we have described the structure of the Choi matrices for 2−positive maps on positive semidefinite matrices and the conditions for complete positivity of positive linear maps fromMntoMn+1. The motivation behind these objectives is work done by Majewski and Marciniak on the structure of positive mapsφfromMntoMn+1(2≥2) betwe...
Abstract/Overview Real world systems have been created using differential equations, this has made it possible to predict future trends and behaviour. Specifically, stochastic differential equations have been fundamental in describing and understanding random phenomena. So far the Black-Scholes-Merton partial differential equation used in deriving the famous Black-Scholes-Merton model has been one of the greatest breakthroughs in finance as far as prediction of asset prices in the stock m...
Abstract/Overview This study investigated metacognitive monitoring as a predictor of mathematics achievement among students in public secondary schools in Kisii Central Sub County, Kenya. The study was guided by the Social Development Theory (1978) by Lev Vygotsky and the Theory of Education Productivity by Walberg (1981). The study employed the Solomon Four pretest-posttest two group design with posttest only control design. The study population included 1665 form 3 students and 41 form ...
Abstract/Overview The matrix models have been applied to evaluate the impacts and management of tree species. Modeling of invasive species using stage based matrix methods has not been exploited to understand the population structure of the invasive species. The study simulated using stage-structured Lefkovitch models to assess the population structure and impacts of invasive population growth within Mount Elgon Ecosystem. The survey data were used to calculate the transition probabilitie...
Abstract/Overview Nonlinear Black-Scholes equations provide more accurate values by taking into account more realistic assumptions, such as transaction costs, illiquid markets, risks from an unprotected portfolio or large investor's preferences, which may have an impact on the stock price, the volatility, the drift and the option price itself. Most modern models are represented by nonlinear variations of the well-known Black-Scholes Equation. On the other hand, asset security prices may n...
