Abstract:

In this paper at first a brief history of mathematical models is presented with the aim to clarify the reliability of stochastic models over deterministic models. Next, the necessary background about random variables and stochastic processes, especially Markov chains and the entropy are introduced. After that, entropy of SIR stochastic models is computed and it is proven that an epidemic will disappear after a long time. Entropy of a stochastic mathematical model determines the average uncertainty about the outcome of that random experiment. At the end, we introduce a chain binomial epidemic model and compute its entropy, which is then compared with the DTMC SIR epidemic model to show which one is nearer to reality.

Abstract:

This paper considers a combined form of the Sumudu transform with the modified homotopy perturbation method (MHPM) to find approximate and analytical solutions for nonlinear two point boundary value problems. This method is called the modified Sumudu transform homotopy perturbation method (MSTHPM). The suggested technique avoids the round-off errors and finds the solution without any restrictive assumptions or discretization. We will introduce an appropriate initial approximation and furthermore, the residual error will be canceled in some points of the interval (RECP). Only a first order approximation of MSTHPM will be required, as compared to STHPM, which needs more iterations for the same cases of study. After comparing figures between approximate, MSTHPM, STHPM and numerical solutions, it is found through the solutions we have obtained that they are highly accurate, indicating that the MSTHPM is very effective, simple and can be used to solve other types of nonlinear boundary value problems (BVPs).

Abstract:

New classes of multivalent meromorphic functions involving hypergeometric and Koebe functions are introduced,we find some properties of these classes e.g. distortion bounds, radii of starlikeness and convexity, extreme points, Hadamard product and verify effect of some integral operator on members of these classes.

Abstract:

In this paper, for the class of the modular operators on Hilbert C^*-modules, we give the conditions to closedness of their ranges. Also, the equivalence conditions for the closedness of the range of the modular projections on Hilbert C^*-modules are discussed. Moreover, the mixed reverse order law for the Moore-Penrose invertible modular operators are given.

Abstract:

In this paper, basic notions of von Neumann algebra and its direct analogues in the realm of groupoids and measure spaces have been considered. By recovering the action of a locally compact Lie group from a crossed product of a von Neumann algebra, other proof of one of a geometric propositions of O'Neil and an extension of it has been proposed. Also, using the advanced exploration of nilmanifolds in measure spaces and their corresponding automorphisms (Lie algebraic derivations) a different proof of an analytic theorem of Gordon and Mao has been attained. These two propositions are of the most important ones for rigidity problems of Riemannian manifolds especially 2-step nilmanifolds.

Abstract:

Let E be a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth real Banach space with dual space E^*. Let {T_i}^∞_i=1 be a family of J-nonexpansive maps, where, for each i,~T_i maps E to 2^E*. A new class of maps, J-nonexpansive maps from E to E^*, an analogue of nonexpansive self maps of E, is introduced. Assuming that the set of common J-fixed points of {T_i}^∞_i=1 is nonempty, an iterative scheme is constructed and proved to converge strongly to a point x^* in ∩^∞_n=1F_JT_i. This result is then applied, in the case that E is a real Hilbert space to obtain a strong convergence theorem for approximation of a common fixed point for an infinite family of nonexpansive maps, assuming existences. The theorem obtained is compared with some important results in the literature. Finally, the technique of proof is also of independent interest.
