According to this method, the trajectory curve or flow of any dynamical system of dimension n considers as a curve in Euclidean space of dimension n . Then the flow curvature or the curvature of the trajectory curve may be computed analytically. The set of points where the flow curvature is null or empty defines the flow curvature manifold. This manifold connected with the dynamical system of any dimension n directly describes the analytical equation of the slow invariant manifold incorporated with the same dynamical system. In this article, we apply the flow curvature method for the first time on the three-dimensional Lorenz-Haken model to compute the analytical equation of the slow invariant manifold where we use the Darboux theorem to prove the invariance property of the slow manifold. After that, we determine the osculating plane of the dynamical system and find the relation between flow curvature manifold and osculating plane. Finally, we find the nature of the fixed point stability using flow curvature manifold.","PeriodicalId":312036,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Sciences and Computing","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134052102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A lot of water is lost on its way before reaching the consumers. This causes a shortage of water supply which leads to loss of revenues of the concerned water authorities. The control or reduction of water loss in the WDS is closely dependent on the commitment of the decision-makers and on the strategies and budget, they set for that purpose. This paper presents a combined model of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Numerical optimization techniques which may help decision-makers to prioritize and select the best strategies to be used in the management of water loss in the WDS at Moshi Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Authority (MUWSA), Tanzania. The Multi-Criteria Decision Making family methods namely the Multi-Attribute Value Theory (MAVT), Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique Exploiting Ranks (SMARTER), and Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) were used to evaluate and prioritize the strategies, whereas the Integer Linear Programming (ILP) technique a numerical optimization technique was used to select the best strategies or alternatives to be employed in water loss management. The results show that the most preferable alternative is replacement of dilapidated pipes while the least preferable alternative is network zoning. The model selects thirteen out of sixteen alternatives, which cost 97% (TZS 235.71 million) of the total budgets set by the water authority to form a portfolio of the best alternatives for water loss management. Furthermore, the model showed robustness as the selected portfolio of alternatives remained the same even when the weights of the evaluation criteria changed.","PeriodicalId":312036,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Sciences and Computing","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133799428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first of its kind, the study advances understanding of fireball dynamics and provides an improved method for the determination of explosive yield. Using fireball radius-time data taken from archival film footage of the explosion and a physical model for the expansion characteristics of the resulting fireball, a yield estimate is made. Bayesian results from the Markov chain indicate that the estimated parameters are consistent with previous calculation except for the critical parameter that modifies the independent time variable. This unique result finds that this parameter deviates in a statistically significant way from previous predictions. Use of the Bayesian parameter estimates computed is found to greatly improve the ability of the fireball model to predict the observed data. In addition, parameter correlations are computed from the Markov chain and discussed. As a result, the method used increases basic understanding of fireball dynamics and provides an improved method for the determination of explosive yields.","PeriodicalId":312036,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Sciences and Computing","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125899226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents Dynamic Epsilon based Maximal Subspace Clustering Algorithm (DEMSC) that handles both redundancy and inter-subspace density divergence, a phenomenon in density based subspace clustering. The proposed algorithm aims to mine maximal and non-redundant subspace clusters. A maximal subspace cluster is defined by a group of similar data objects that share maximal number of attributes. The DEMSC algorithm consists of four steps. In the first step, data points are assigned with random unique positive integers called labels. In the second step, dense units are identified based on the density notion using proposed dynamically computed epsilon-radius specific to each subspace separately and user specified input parameter minimum points , τ. In the third step, sum of the labels of each data object forming the dense unit is calculated to compute its signature and is hashed into the hash table. Finally, if a dense unit of a particular subspace collides with that of the other subspace in the hash table, then both the dense units exists with high probability in the subspace formed by combining the colliding subspaces. With this approach efficient maximal subspace clusters which are non-redundant are identified and outperforms the existing algorithms in terms of cluster quality and number of the resulted subspace clusters when experimented on different benchmark datasets.","PeriodicalId":312036,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Sciences and Computing","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124226805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
