On graduation of enrolment size in a multi-echelon educational system
Journal Title: Mathematica Applicanda. Annales Societatis Mathematicae Polonae Series III . - Year 2017, Vol 45, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper focuses on an educational system wherein demotion and double promotion are not allowed. The total enrolment in such a system is modelled as a linear model within the context of factor analysis. The goal is to represent the total enrolment in terms of latent factors which generate the flows in the system. The notion of matrix spectrum and spectral radius are used to benchmark the specific variances and to approximate the factor loading vector, respectively. Two main theorems are propounded alongside with their proofs. A numerical illustration is given.

On two-parameters generalization of Fibonacci numbers
In this paper we introduce a new two-parameters generalization of Fibonacci numbers – distance s-Fibonacci numbers Fs(k, n). We generalize the known distance Fibonacci numbers by adding an additional integer parameter s....
Selected applications of differential equations in Vanilla Options valuation.
In financial models one of the basic assumptions about investors is that they want to gain as much as it is possible but they have aversion taking the risk. Each investing strategy can be considered as a compromise betwe...
Approximative solutions of optimal stopping and selection problems
In this paper we review a series of developments over the last 15 years in which a general method for the approximative solution of finite discrete time optimal stopping and choice problems has been developed. This metho...
A refined and asymptotic analysis of optimal stopping problems of Bruss and Weber
The classical secretary problem has been generalized over the years into several directions. In this paper we confine our interest to those generalizations which have to do with the more general problem of stopping on a...
The Bruss-Robertson Inequality: Elaborations, Extensions, and Applications
The Bruss-Robertson inequality gives a bound on the maximal number of elements of a random sample whose sum is less than a specified value, and the extension of that inequality which is given here neither requires the in...
