Finite element method solution for steady magnetohydrodynamic flow in a straight horizontal pipe of elliptical cross section
(Maseno University, 2022)Velocity profile and temperature distribution for Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow in a straight horizontal pipe of elliptical cross section has been investigated. Many researchers have carried out research on pipes of circular, ... -
Arima and vector autoregressive model evaluation in forecasting rainfall: a case of Kisumu
(Maseno University, 2022)Time Series Analysis has been used over the decades in data analysis and forecast ing. Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models have been fit on economic data and engineering data. The models have also ... -
Lie symmetry solutions of the Generalized burgers equation
(Maseno University, 2005)Burgers equation: u, + UUx = luxx is a nonlinear partial differential equation which arises in model studies of turbulence and shock wave theory. In physical application of shock waves in fluids, coefficient 1 ,has the ... -

The Derivation of a Logistic Nonlinear Black Scholes Merton Partial Differential Equation: European Option
(Maseno University, 2011)\onlinear Black-Scholes equations have been increasingly attracting interest over the last twenty years. This is because they provide more accurate values by taking into account more realistic assumptions, such as ... -
Mathematical Models for Malaria Co-Infections With Persistent Pediatric Infections in Kenya
(Maseno University, 2013)Despite many years of study and advanced biological, medical and mathematical understanding of diseases together with commitment to child survival, malaria and persistent infectious diseases of childhood continue to ... -
Analytic Solution of a Nonlinear Black-Scholes Partial Differential Equation
(Maseno University, 2011)The assumptions under which the standard Black-Scholes equation has been derived are restrictive (e.g. liquid and frictionless markets). When illiquidity and market friction are introduced into the market, financial ... -
On The Algebraic Numerical Range of the Basic Elementary Operator and Norm of a Generalized Derivation
(Maseno University, 2020)An elementary operator is a bounded linear map defined on the set of bounded linear operators acting on an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space H. Various forms of elementary operators have been studied in the past ... -
Analysis of Heat and Mass Transfer Effects on Steady Buoyancy Driven Magnetohydrodynamics Fluid Flow Past an Inclined Infinite Flat Plate
(Maseno University, 2018)The phenomenon of natural convection arises in fluids when temperature change causes density variation leading to buoyancy forces acting on the fluid particles. Natural convection flows are frequently encountered in ... -
Modeling the Dynamics of Bacteremic Pneumonia: The role of Control Strategies, Case Detection and Treatment
(Maseno University, 2016)Pneumonia is a respiratory disease mainly caused by bacteria, Streptococcus Pneumoniae. The bacteria exist in up to 90 different strains out of which 25 are invasive. Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of mortality ... -
Design and Analysis of End Points in Clinical Trials for Visceral Leishmaniasis
(Maseno University, 2015)Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a vector-borne parasitic disease characterized by fever, substantial weight loss, swelling of the spleen and liver, and anaemia. Clinical trials in VL generally take long to conclude due to ... -
Modelling The Impact of Misdiagnosis and Treatment on the Dynamics of Malaria Concurrent and Co-Infection with Pneumonia and Typhoid
(Maseno University, 2014)Mathematical models of malaria-pneumonia and malaria- typhoid concurrent and co-infection have been formulated to establish the effects of misdiagnosing pneumonia and typhoid as malaria. We performed stability analysis ... -
Construction of Zero Inflated Poisson Mixture Distributions and Application to Fertility Data
(Maseno University, 2018)In applications involving count data, it is common to encounter the frequency of observed zeros significantly higher than predicted by the model based on the standard parametric family of discrete distributions. In such ... -
