This new probability model is a generalization of the well-known inverted exponential distribution as a special case. Statistical and reliability properties of the modified version are derived. Shapes for the probability density function, reliability function and failure rate function are shown with graphical illustration. The truncated distribution is studied in details. Further, estimation by the method of maximum likelihood is discussed through numerical simulation. Finally, a real data set is used where the proposed model fits better than the generalized inverted exponential distribution and the asymptotic confidence interval is given.","PeriodicalId":372283,"journal":{"name":"Universal Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126563421","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}

Failure to attain breakeven and meet set targets is associated with underutilising resource capacity. The identified locomotive constraints in this paper do not have a linear relationship hence the application of nonlinear programming in formulating the Locomotive Optimization Model (LOM). The objective function in the model is to maximize the quantity of traffic moved by a given number of locomotives available for use which consequently converts to revenue generated. The model results show a failure by NRZ to meet breakeven targets in the year 2013. Different model scenarios are formulated using attainable locomotive figures and it is observed in the model scenario B where a 15% increase in speed, trailing load and availability of locomotives will results in attainment of breakeven targets.","PeriodicalId":372283,"journal":{"name":"Universal Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":"89 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114134879","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}

Our scheme uses θ-weighted scheme for discretization of the temporal derivative and the integrated form of the multiquadric quasi-interpolation scheme for approximation of the unknown function and its spatial derivative. To confirm the accuracy and ability of the presented scheme, this scheme is applied on some test experiments and the numerical results have been compared with the exact solutions. Furthermore, it should be emphasized that with the presently available computing power, it has become possible to develop realistic mathematical models for the complicated problems in science and engineering. The mathematical description of various processes such as the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation occurring in mathematical physics leads to a nonlinear partial differential equation. However, the mathematical model is only the first step towards the solution of the problem under consideration. The development of the well-documented, robust and reliable numerical tech- nique for handing the mathematical model under consideration is the next step in the solution of the problem. This second step is at least as important as the first one. Therefore, the robustness, the efficiency and the reliability of the numerical technique have to be checked carefully.","PeriodicalId":372283,"journal":{"name":"Universal Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":"52 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132983530","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}
