The use of certain staffing requirements as a means of benchmarking academic staff structure
Journal Title: Mathematica Applicanda. Annales Societatis Mathematicae Polonae Series III . - Year 2018, Vol 46, Issue 2
Abstract
Considering the statutory staffing requirements by the National Universities Commission in Nigeria, this study develops a model to benchmark the academic staff structure that will meet the staffing requirements. The model utilises the absorbing Markov chain framework as its theoretical underpinning. An upper bound on the structure that will mature to meet the statutory staffing requirement is developed. Empirical data are used to demonstrate the utility of the model.

Markov morphisms: a combined copula and mass transportation approach to multivariate quantiles.
Our purpose is both conceptual and practical. On the one hand, we discuss the question which properties are basic ingredients of a general conceptual notion of a multivariate quantile. We propose and argue that the objec...
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....
Application of fRMSDchiral for mathematical description of mutual position between stereoisomers
The ability of biological systems to recognize and distinguish between compounds is crucial for living systems. A detailed study of this mechanism seems to be an important supplement for analysis of possible contact inte...
Common-Knowledge and Bayesian Equilibrium in Network Game
In this paper we investigate equilibriums in the Bayesian routing problem of the network game introduced by Koutsoupias and Papadimitriou [LNCS 1563, pp.404-413. Springer (1999)]. We treat epistemic conditions for Nas...
Energy decay result for a nonlinear wave p-Laplace equation with a delay term
We consider the nonlinear (in space and time) wave equation with delay term in the internal feedback. Under conditions on the delay term and the term without delay, we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions using the...
