Construction and analysis of efficient numerical methods to solve mathematical models of TB and HIV co-infection
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The global impact of the converging dual epidemics of tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is one of the major public health challenges of our time, because in many countries, human immunodeficiency ...
Mathematical modeling of an epidemic under vaccination in two interacting populations
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
In this dissertation we present the quantitative response of an epidemic of the so-called SIR-type, in a population consisting of a local component and a migrant component. Each component can be divided into three classes, ...
A model for managing pension funds with benchmarking in an inflationary market
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Aggressive fiscal and monetary policies by governments of countries and central banks in developed markets could somehow push inflation to some very high level in the long run. Due to the decreasing of pension fund benefits ...
Codes, graphs and designs related to iterated line graphs of complete graphs
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
In this thesis, we describe linear codes over prime fields obtained from incidence
designs of iterated line graphs of complete graphs Li(Kn) where
i = 1,2. In the binary case, results are extended to codes from ...
