Most of these researches have concentrated on the value distribution and growth of meromorphic solutions of ODEs. However, the existence of a meromorphic general solution is often used as a way to identify equations that are integrable. Especially, the existence of global meromorphic solutions of differential equation with entire coefficient can be settled, resulting in the characterization of Schwarzian derivatives. This is concerning with the linearly independent solutions of linear differential equations . The purpose of this present paper is to find explicit solutions of differential equation in terms of finite combinations of known functions, that is, we use local series methods and reduction of order to solve all linearly independent solutions of some third-order ODEs with entire coefficient in the neighborhood of z0.","PeriodicalId":91196,"journal":{"name":"American journal of applied mathematics and statistics","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87737539","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}

Furthermore, frequency of the insurance claims plays a major role in the pricing of the premiums. Severity in insurance on the other hand, can either be the amount paid due to a loss or the size of the loss event. For insurer’s to be in a position to settle claims that occur from existing portfolios of policies in future, it is necessary that they adequately model past and current data on claim experience then use the models to project the expected future experience in claim amounts. In addition, non-life insurance companies are faced with problems when modeling claim data i.e selecting appropriate statistical distribution and establishing how well it fits the claimed data. Therefore, the study presents a framework for choosing the most suitable probability distribution and fitting it to the past motor claims data and the parameters are estimated using maximum likelihood method (MLE). The goodness of fit of frequency distributions was checked using the chi-square test and Anderson-Darling tests was applied to severity claim distributions. Best chosen models from frequency models and severity models were used to estimate the expected claim amount per risk in the following year. The study employed AIC to choose between competing models. Pareto and Negative Binomial model best fit severity claims, and frequency claims respectively. The two models were used for projection.","PeriodicalId":91196,"journal":{"name":"American journal of applied mathematics and statistics","volume":"37 1","pages":"103-111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81362289","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}

It is a way of reviewing clearance procedure by measuring the time taken to release cargo at border entry points. This research therefore aimed to model clearance time using the Extended Cox model, which is a modification of the proportional hazard Cox model in which proportional hazard assumptions are not met, and tested the practicability of the model and compared the performance of Extended Cox model with the other conventional methods using secondary data on time clearance that was obtained from the KRA, Malaba OSBP, for the period 1st January 2015 to 31st July 2019. The variables in the study were both time depend (time taken from registration to release) and time independent (customs regimes, origin, destination, customs value and description of goods). The variables used in the research project were tested for proportional hazard assumptions. Extended Cox model was the most suitable model for analysis duration taken to release cargo data has it was found to have a lower AIC and BIC as compared to conventional cox model. Therefore, customs administration should embrace the use of Extended Cox model to analysis duration taken to release cargo data as it is statistically significant and give efficient results that are based on proper statistical methods. It is recommended that further studies to be done on a large data set that encompasses both entry and exit cargo in all the Kenyan border points.","PeriodicalId":91196,"journal":{"name":"American journal of applied mathematics and statistics","volume":"94 1","pages":"96-102"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83872954","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}

We consider the problem which be used to describe the spreading of an introduced predator species in higher dimensional and heterogeneous environment. We will assume that the prey is initially uniformly well disturbed. The prey undergoes the diffusion and growth in the entire space R^n. The predator is initially introduced in some localized location. We establish that a spreading-vanishing dichotomy is held for this model. We use the comparison principle. we will give the existence, uniqueness and some estimates of the solution to the problem. We study the asymptotic behavior of two species evolving. The free boundary represents the spreading front of the predator species. The boundary condition is described by classic Stefan-like condition. It is proved that the problem addressed is well posed, and that the predator species disperses to all domains in finite time. The long time behaviors of solution and criteria for spreading and vanishing of predator species are also provided. Furthermore, in the case that spreading of predator species happens, we deduce some rough estimates of the spreading speed.","PeriodicalId":91196,"journal":{"name":"American journal of applied mathematics and statistics","volume":"8 1","pages":"284"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88917826","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}

Singular integrals arises in different applications in applied and engineering mathematics. The evaluation of singular integrals is one of the most challenging jobs. Earlier different techniques were developed for evaluating such integrals, but these were not straightforward. Recently various order straightforward formulae have been developed for evaluating such integrals but; all these integral formulae depend on Romberg technique for more accurate results. Based on these integral formulae, different order (up to fifth) implicit methods have been developed for solving singular initial value problems. These implicit methods give better results than those obtained by implicit Runge-Kutta methods but; the derivation of such higher order formulae are not so easy. In this article, a new third order straightforward integral formula has been proposed for evaluating singular integrals. This new formula is able to evaluate more efficiently than others existing formulae, moreover it has the independent ability to calculate very near accurate result to the exact value of the numerical integrals.
