Socio-Economic Impacts Of Computer Viruses In Tanzania, M Victor

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

This paper reports on a research project conducted with an objective of identifying and assessing various approaches used by different computer users (Management, System Administrators and end users) in Tanzania to combat computer viruses (CVs), and to assess users' awareness level on CVs. Specifically, the study aimed at assessing the awareness level on CVs to the Tanzanian business community; analyze the socio -economic impact caused by CVs in Tanzania and; assess existing methods, capacity and limitations on controlling CVs in Tanzania. Data was collected using both questionnaires and interview from financial institutions such as NBC and BOT, and telecommunications sector …

A Remark On Conservative Diffeomorphisms, Jairo Bochi, Bassam R. Fayad, Enrique Pujals

Publications and Research

Abstract:

We show that a stably ergodic diffeomorphism can be C¹ approximated by a diffeomorphism having stably non-zero Lyapunov exponents.

Résumé:

On montre qu'un difféomorphisme stablement ergodique peut être C¹ approché par un difféomorphisme ayant des exposants de Lyapunov stablement non-nuls.

Inverse Scattering Transform For The Camassa-Holm Equation, Adrian Constantin, Vladimir Gerdjikov, Rossen Ivanov

Articles

An Inverse Scattering Method is developed for the Camassa-Holm equation. As an illustration of our approach the solutions corresponding to the reflectionless potentials are constructed in terms of the scattering data. The main difference with respect to the standard Inverse Scattering Transform lies in the fact that we have a weighted spectral problem. We therefore have to develop different asymptotic expansions.

Hamiltonian Formulation And Integrability Of A Complex Symmetric Nonlinear System, Rossen Ivanov

Articles

The integrability of a complex generalisation of the ’elegant’ system, proposed by D. Fairlie and its relation to the Nahm equation and the Manakov top is discussed.

A System Equivalence Related To Dulac's Extension Of Bendixson's Negative Theorem For Planar Dynamical Systems, Charlie H. Cooke

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications

Bendixson's Theorem [H. Ricardo, A Modem Introduction to Differential Equations, Houghton-Mifflin, New York, Boston, 2003] is useful in proving the non-existence of periodic orbits for planar systems

dx/dt = F(x, y), dy/dt = G (x, y)

in a simply connected domain D, where F, G are continuously differentiable. From the work of Dulac [M. Kot, Elements of Mathematical Ecology, 2nd printing, University Press, Cambridge, 2003] one suspects that system (1) has periodic solutions if and only if the more general system

dx/d tau = B(x, y)F(x, y), dy/d tau = B(x, y)G(x, y)

does, which makes the subcase (1) more …
