Norm Inequalities for positive elementary operators and entanglement of states

Abstract/Overview We present norm inequalities for positive elementary operators via Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and Minkowskis inequality techniques. Norm inequalities are presented in Euclidean algebras linked to Minkowski’s light cones. Lastly, we explore the applications in quantum theory particularly in entanglement of states.

Projective Norms and Convergence of Norm-Attainable Operators

Abstract/Overview Let H be an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space and B(H) the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. We establish norm-attainability of operators via projective tensor norm. Moreover, we give results on the convergence of norm-attainable operators.

Binomial Mixtures Based on Beta I Distribution and Its Generalizations with Application to a Two Stage Group Screening Design

Abstract/Overview When mixed, two distributions can form another distribution. Binomial distribution and beta distributions combine to form a binomial mixture with the latter being a prior distribution which is a continuous distribution. Skellam pioneered this study when he mixed binomial distribution with its parameter p taking beta distribution. The paper focused on construction of binomial mixtures, their properties, special cases and the application of the mixtures in a two stage grou...

Application of Three Parameter Generalized Beta I Distribution in Binomial Mixture

Abstract/Overview Two or more individual distributions can be mixed together to form a new distribution. According to Feller, this can be done using weights that sum up to unit. Also by considering a parameter which is a random variable taking another distribution then a new distribution ca be formed. The nature of the mixing distribution has effect on the new distribution formed. If the mixing distribution is continuous random variable, then the new mixture formed is also continuous. Ske...

Optimal Allocation in Small Area Mean Estimation Using Stratified Sampling in the Presence of Non-Response

Abstract/Overview Sample survey provides reliable current statistics for large areas or sub-population (domains) with large sample sizes. There is a growing demand for reliable small area statistics, however, the sample sizes are too small to provide direct (or area specific) estimators with acceptable and reliable accuracy. This study gives theoretical description of the estimation of small area mean by use of stratified sampling with a linear cost function in the presence of non-respons...

Assets Valuation Using a Contingent Claim

Abstract/Overview In this paper we consider the price dynamics of a portfolio consisting of risk-free and risky assets. The paper discusses the pricing process of a contingent claim, the pricing equation and the risk-neutral valuation under the Martingale representation property. A partial differential equation with an unknown price function is formulated. The solution of this PDE gives a unique pricing formula

Comparison of the ratio estimate to the local linear polynomial estimate of finite population totals

Abstract/Overview In this paper, attempt to study effects of extreme observations on two estimators of finite population total theoretically and by simulation is made. We compare the ratio estimate with the local linear polynomial estimate of finite population total given different finite populations. Both classical and the non parametric estimator based on the local linear polynomial produce good results when the auxiliary and the study variables are highly correlated. It is however note...

Abstract/Overview In this paper, attempt to study effects of outliers on two estimators of finite population total theoretically and by simulation is made. We compare the ratio estimate with the local linear polynomial estimate of finite population total given different finite populations. Both classical and the non parametric estimator based on the local linear polynomial produce good results when the auxiliary and the study variables are highly correlated. It is however noted that in th...

Numerical solution of dynamic vibration equation, ܠሷൌ ܐ܋܍ܛ ܠ

Abstract/Overview In this paper, we examine conservative autonomous dynamic vibration equation, f(x) = sech x which is time vibration of the displacement of a structure due to the internal forces, with no damping or external forcing. Numerical results using New mark method are tabulated and then represented graphically. Further the stability of the algorithms employed is also discussed

Abstract/Overview Modeling of some physical phenomena and technological processes taking into account dissipation leads to the Sine-Gordon equation with the first time derivative. The (2+1) Sine-Gordon equation with the first time derivative is used in explaining a number of physical phenomena including the propagation of fluxons in Josephson junctions.

Abstract/Overview Finite element method is a class of mathematical tool which approximates solutions to initial and boundary value problems.

Forensic estimation of time of death: A mathematical model

Abstract/Overview In this paper we establish the exact time of death of a murdered person. This leads to an ordinary differential equation whose solution has been analyzed to provide the approximate time of death. Forensic expert will try to estimate this time from body’s current temperature and calculating how long it would have taken to lose heat to reach this point. This provides an accurate approach to establish the approximate time when crime is committed
