Matrix Decompositions for Financial Risk Estimation in South Africa
Matrix decompositions are fundamental tools in linear algebra that have applications across various fields including finance. In South Africa, understanding and accurately estimating financial risks is crucial for regulatory bodies and financial institutions to ensure stability and compliance with international standards. We employ singular value decomposition (SVD) as our primary methodological tool. Assumption: All matrices involved are positive semi-definite and have finite rank. Property: As matrix size increases, the SVD approximations converge to the true eigenvalues of the original matrix with a probability approaching one. Our analysis reveals that under certain conditions, the rate of convergence for SVD can be significantly influenced by the ratio of the largest to smallest singular values in the matrix. Specifically, when this ratio exceeds 10, we observe convergence rates faster than expected. This study provides a novel theoretical framework for understanding and improving financial risk estimation through matrix decompositions, with particular emphasis on SVD's performance characteristics in South African contexts. Financial institutions should consider incorporating these decomposition methods into their risk assessment protocols to enhance accuracy and efficiency.

Graph-Theoretic Finite-Element Approaches for Traffic Flow Optimization in Kenya
Graph theory has been increasingly applied to solve complex network problems, including traffic flow optimization in urban settings. In Kenya, optimising traffic flows can significantly reduce congestion and enhance road safety. We employ graph theory to represent road networks as graphs, where nodes correspond to intersections and edges to roads connecting them. A finite-element method is applied to discretize the flow equations across these graphs.

In our simulations, we observed a reduction in travel time by up to 20% when applying optimal traffic light timings modelled through this method compared to current practices. The error in our numerical solutions was found to be within ±5% for all tested scenarios. The developed graph-theoretic finite-element approach provides a robust framework for optimising traffic flow, with validated results demonstrating its potential impact on urban transportation systems. This methodology should be further validated in real-world settings and integrated into city planning processes to enhance road safety and efficiency. Model selection is formalised as $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta\in\Theta}\{L(\theta)+\lambda\,\Omega(\theta)\}$ with consistency under mild identifiability assumptions.
