چکیده

The purpose of this article is to put forward the claim that Hurwitz’s paper “Über die Erzeugung der Invarianten durch Integration.” [Gött. Nachrichten (1897), 71-90] should be regarded as the origin of random matrix theory in mathematics. Here Hurwitz introduced and developed the notion of an invariant measure for the matrix groups SO(N) and U(N). He also specified a calculus from which the explicit form of these measures could be computed in terms of an appropriate parametrisation — Hurwitz chose to use Euler angles. This enabled him to define and compute invariant group integrals over SO(N) and U(N). His main result can be interpreted probabilistically: the Euler angles of a uniformly distributed matrix are independent with beta distributions (and conversely). We use this interpretation to give some new probability results. How Hurwitz’s ideas and methods show themselves in the subsequent work of Weyl, Dyson and others on foundational studies in random matrix theory is detailed.

ON THE STABILITY AND THRESHOLD ANALYSIS OF AN EPIDEMIC MODEL

We consider a mathematical model of epidemic spread  in which the  population  is partitioned  into five compartments of susceptible S(t), Infected I(t), Removed R(t), Prevented U(t) and the Controlled W(t). We assume each of the compartments comprises of cohorts of individuals which are  identical with respect to the disease status. We derive five systems of equations to represent each of the ...

Geometric Studies on Inequalities of Harmonic Functions in a Complex Field Based on ξ-Generalized Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta Function

Authors, define and establish a new subclass of harmonic regular schlicht functions (HSF) in the open unit disc through the use of the extended generalized Noor-type integral operator associated with the ξ-generalized Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta function (GHLZF). Furthermore, some geometric properties of this subclass are also studied.

Chance is a broad concept which has become an important factor in linking science and art in the twentieth century. Simultaneously, concept emerged as a new scientific paradigm in Arts by Henry Poincaré and especially Marcel Duchamp, who has affected many artists such as John Cage, one of aleatoric music pioneers .This paper investigates the differences and similarities of the chance concept in...
