Finite geometries and Finite quantum systems: Duality between lines in phase space and mutually unbiased bases in Hilbert space

Oladejo S. O.^*, Olupitan T., Bukar A. M.

In this work, we focus on finite quantum systems with variables in Zd and finite geometry Gd where d is a prime integer. In it, we confirmed the existence of duality between mutually unbiased bases in Hilbert space of a finite quantum system and lines in phase space.

MATHEMATICAL DYNAMICS OF THE INTERACTION OF 2-3 PREY-PREDATOR NON-DIFFUSIVE ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM

Aiyesimi Y. M^*, Jiya M., R. O. Olayiwola, O. S. Makinde

A diagram illustrating the relationship between three (3) competing predators who also compete amongst themselves and two independent prey is shown to see the nature of interdependence among the species. To this end, it is considered that the free population (without interaction) is the solution to the logistic equation of individual specie. A semi-analytical approach is developed for solving the ...

Modified Variational Homotopy Perturbation Method for Nonlinear Volterra Integro-differential Equations

Ignatius N. Njoseh^*, Ebimene J. Mamadu

In this paper, we apply the Modified Variational Homotopy Method (MVHPM) for the numerical solution of nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations. The method is an elegant mixture of Variational Iteration and Homotopy Perturbation Methods. The modification is effected at the approximation stage. This modification is the addition of the coecients of the least and highest powers of the homot...

Variation Iteration Decomposition Method for the Numerical Solution of Integro-Dierential Equations

Ignatius N. Njoseh^*, Ebimene J. Mamadu

This paper seeks the numerical solution of integro-differential equations via the variation iteration decomposition method (VIDM). The mode of convergence of this method as applied toIntegro-differential equations is determined by the step-size parameter, h. The approximate solution converges for h  105+n where n is the number of iterations. Similarly, the method requires no discretization, linea...

Block Hybrid Method for Solution of Fourth Order Ordinary Differential Equations

O. A. Akinfenwa^*, H. A. Ogunseye, S. A. Okunuga

In this paper a block hybrid method of order seven for the direct solution of fourth-order ordinary differential equations is presented. The derivation of the method uses interpolation and col-location procedures to obtain the main method and additional methods from the same continuous scheme. The continuous representation of the integrators permit us to differentiate and evaluate at both grid and...

A Mathematical Model of Cooperative Advertising and Subsidy Transfer Strategies

Peter E. Ezimadu^*

This work uses game theory to consider cooperative advertising in a supply chain involving a manufacturer, a retailer, and a distributor. The manufacturer who is the channel leader plays aStackelberg game with the other channel members. While the distributor is the first follower (or second leader), the retailer is the second follower. The channel structure involves a situation where only the reta...

Review of a Study of Soft Fields

I. A. Onyeozili^*

Molodtsov in 1999 introduced the concept of soft set theory as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty about vague concept. In this paper, we present the definition of soft field and soft subfield with illustrative examples. Some properties of soft fields and soft subfields are investigated.
