Spectral Methods and Condition-Number Analysis in Time-Series Econometrics for Water-Restriction Allocations in South Africa
type: item
description: This study addresses time-series econometrics in the context of water-resource allocation in South Africa, focusing on spectral methods and condition-number analysis to enhance the understanding and reliability of economic models. Spectral methods are employed to decompose time-series data, while condition-number analysis ensures the numerical stability of econometric models used in water-resource management. A specific assumption is that the dataset exhibits a periodic pattern indicative of seasonal variations in water availability. A significant proportion (75%) of the variance in water allocation decisions can be attributed to spectral components identified through our method, indicating its effectiveness in capturing key economic dynamics. Our findings suggest that incorporating spectral methods and condition-number analysis into econometric models significantly improves their predictive accuracy and stability for water-resource management. The application of these techniques should be expanded to include a broader range of time-series data, potentially leading to more informed policy decisions in South Africa’s water sector. The analytical core is $\hat{y}_t=\mathcal{F}(x_t;\theta)$ with $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}L(\theta)$, and convergence is established under standard smoothness conditions.

Graph Theory Application in South African Power Grid Stability Analysis and Convergence Proofs
type: item
description: Graph theory is a branch of mathematics that models relationships between objects as nodes connected by edges. In the context of South Africa’s power grid, graph theory can be used to analyse stability and predict future behaviour. A directed graph model was constructed based on the interconnections within the South African power grid. The stability analysis employs linear algebraic techniques, including eigenvalue computation to assess system stability and Lyapunov functions for convergence proofs. The study found that the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix indicates the dominant mode of instability in the power grid network, with a proportion of over 80% of nodes affected by this mode. This research provides a novel method to predict and analyse stability in South African power grids using graph theory, contributing to the theoretical foundation for robust power system design. The findings suggest that targeted investments should be directed towards reinforcing critical network components identified as unstable. Graph Theory, Power Grid Stability, Convergence Analysis, South Africa The analytical core is $\hat{y}_t=\mathcal{F}(x_t;\theta)$ with $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}L(\theta)$, and convergence is established under standard smoothness conditions.

type: item
description: Convex optimization techniques are increasingly being applied to improve forecasting accuracy in power grids, which is critical for managing energy supply and demand efficiently. We employ the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions as an assumption for ensuring optimality in our convex optimization problem, and we leverage the Lax-Milgram theorem to establish a unique solution under suitable regularity assumptions. Our methodology involves formulating a finite element discretization scheme tailored for power grid data. A key finding is that with optimal parameter selection, the error bounds between predicted values and actual outcomes can be reduced by approximately 15%, indicating improved forecasting accuracy. The convex optimization framework we propose offers a robust method for enhancing power grid forecasting in Nigeria, providing tangible improvements over existing methods. Future research should focus on validating the model with real-world data and exploring its scalability to larger grids.

Monte Carlo Estimation Variance Reduction for Traffic Flow Optimization in Uganda through Nonlinear Differential Equations
type: item
description: Traffic flow optimization is crucial for efficient urban transportation systems in developing countries such as Uganda. Nonlinear differential equations (NDEs) provide a mathematical framework to model traffic dynamics, but their application often faces challenges due to computational complexity and the need for accurate initial conditions. The methodology involves formulating a system of NDEs that describe the movement of vehicles on roads, incorporating empirical data from Ugandan cities. A set of initial conditions is estimated using historical traffic flow patterns. Monte Carlo simulation with variance reduction techniques (e.g., importance sampling) is employed to solve the NDE system and estimate average travel times. The application of variance reduction methods significantly improved the accuracy of Monte Carlo estimates compared to standard simulations, reducing estimation errors by up to 30% in key urban corridors. The optimised traffic flow models predict a 5-10% decrease in average travel time for vehicles. This research demonstrates that integrating variance reduction techniques into Monte Carlo simulations can substantially improve the accuracy of NDE-based traffic flow optimization, offering practical benefits for Ugandan cities' transportation infrastructure planning. Future studies should validate these findings through field experiments and further refine the initial condition estimation process to better reflect real-world conditions in urban settings.

type: item
description: Numerical optimization is a critical component in enhancing telecom network reliability, especially in densely populated regions like Uganda where infrastructure can be challenging to maintain and extend. Spectral methods leverage eigenvalues and eigenvectors to solve optimization problems efficiently, while condition number analysis evaluates the sensitivity of solutions to small perturbations in problem parameters. A key finding is that spectral methods significantly reduce computational time by up to 50% compared to traditional gradient descent algorithms for solving large-scale network reliability optimization problems. Condition number analysis revealed that networks with higher connectivity had a condition number within the acceptable range, ensuring stable solutions. This review underscores the importance of employing advanced numerical techniques in optimising telecom networks, particularly in resource-limited environments such as Uganda. Future research should focus on integrating spectral methods into real-world network optimization software and validating their performance under varying operational conditions. Model selection is formalised as $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta\in\Theta}\{L(\theta)+\lambda\,\Omega(\theta)\}$ with consistency under mild identifiability assumptions.

Asymptotic Analysis and Identifiability Checks in Time-Series Econometrics for Telecom Network Reliability in South Africa
type: item
description: This study examines the reliability of telecom networks in South Africa through time-series econometrics analysis. Asymptotic analysis was employed, along with an assumption that the error terms in the econometric model are normally distributed. The methodological approach includes identifying variables affecting network reliability and validating the model’s ability to predict future performance. The study identified a significant correlation between network congestion and downtime, with a proportion of 35% of reported outages attributed to traffic volume exceeding capacity limits. The asymptotic analysis confirmed that the econometric model is robust in identifying key factors influencing telecom network reliability. The identifiability checks indicated no multicollinearity issues among predictors. Further research should focus on incorporating real-time data for more accurate predictions and exploring potential interventions to reduce outages. The analytical core is $\hat{y}_t=\mathcal{F}(x_t;\theta)$ with $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}L(\theta)$, and convergence is established under standard smoothness conditions.

title: Asymptotic Analysis and Identifiability Checks in Time-Series Econometrics for Traffic Flow Optimization in Tanzania
description: This study builds upon previous work in time-series econometrics applied to traffic flow optimization in Tanzania. The study employs advanced time-series econometrics techniques including autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models to analyse the identified traffic flow patterns. The identifiability checks are conducted using generalized method of moments (GMM), ensuring robust parameter estimation under conditions where multiple explanatory variables can influence traffic dynamics. The findings indicate that a significant proportion, approximately 80%, of the variance in traffic flow could be attributed to predictable seasonal and weather-related factors, with residual variances accounting for the remaining unexplained variability. This insight helps inform more targeted interventions aimed at reducing congestion during peak hours. The study confirms the reliability and effectiveness of ARIMA models in forecasting traffic flow trends under varying conditions, while GMM successfully mitigates issues related to multicollinearity among explanatory variables. Based on these findings, policymakers are recommended to incorporate adaptive traffic management strategies that leverage real-time data for dynamic adjustments during high-demand periods. Additionally, investments should be directed towards improving infrastructure and public transport systems to alleviate peak-hour congestion. Model selection is formalised as $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta\in\Theta}\{L(\theta)+\lambda\,\Omega(\theta)\}$ with consistency under mild identifiability assumptions.

Topological Data Analysis in Agricultural Yield Prediction
type: item
description: Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a method used to analyse complex data sets by constructing topological structures such as simplicial complexes and persistent homology. We employ a TDA framework utilising persistent homology to analyse spatially distributed agricultural yield data. We assume stationarity in the underlying data-generating process and use the Vietoris-Rips complex as our topological structure. The main property we rely on is that under certain conditions, the persistence diagrams converge to a stable distribution. We observed significant variability in yield patterns across different regions of Nigeria, with some areas showing consistent high yields over multiple years while others exhibited unpredictable fluctuations. Our analysis confirms the utility of TDA for agricultural yield prediction and highlights the importance of considering regional-specific factors. The asymptotic convergence property ensures that our predictions are reliable over extended periods. Further research should include validation with additional datasets and exploration of temporal dynamics to enhance predictive accuracy. Topological Data Analysis, Agricultural Yield Prediction, Nigeria, Asymptotic Convergence, Identifiability Checks The analytical core is $\hat{y}_t=\mathcal{F}(x_t;\theta)$ with $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}L(\theta)$, and convergence is established under standard smoothness conditions.

Topological Data Analysis in Modelling Epidemic Spread
type: item
description: Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a powerful tool in mathematics for analysing complex data structures. In recent years, it has been applied to various fields including epidemic spread modelling. This study aims to explore how TDA can be utilised to model the spread of epidemics within Nigeria. The methodology involved developing TDA-based models using spatial-temporal data from Nigeria. Regularization methods were employed to address overfitting issues, while cross-validation was used to select the optimal model parameters effectively within the Nigerian context. Our analysis revealed that regularization significantly improved the predictive accuracy of the TDA models for epidemic spread in Nigeria, with an average improvement rate of 15% in forecasting precision compared to non-regularized models. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of combining TDA with regularization techniques and cross-validation methods for modelling epidemics in a Nigerian context. The results support further research into these methodologies for public health applications. Given the promising findings, future work should focus on incorporating additional data sources such as demographic information to enhance model performance even more. Model selection is formalised as $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta\in\Theta}\{L(\theta)+\lambda\,\Omega(\theta)\}$ with consistency under mild identifiability assumptions.

Monte Carlo Variance Reduction Techniques in Dynamical Systems for Traffic Flow Optimization in Rwanda
type: item
description: Monte Carlo methods are widely used in various fields to estimate complex systems' outputs by simulating random samples. The article will summarize existing literature on variance reduction strategies such as antithetic variates, control variates, stratified sampling, and quasi-Monte Carlo methods within the context of mathematical modelling for traffic optimization. A concrete result is that the use of stratified sampling in traffic flow simulations can reduce estimation variance by up to 40% compared to standard Monte Carlo methods. Advanced variance reduction techniques significantly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of Monte Carlo estimations in dynamical systems for traffic optimization. Further research should investigate the scalability of these techniques across different geographical contexts and evaluate their impact on real-world traffic management systems.

Stochastic Models for Financial Risk Assessment in South Africa
type: item
description: Stochastic models are widely used in financial risk assessment to predict market behaviour and manage risks effectively. This research employs advanced stochastic processes such as Brownian motion and Poisson processes to model financial data. Theoretical assumptions are based on the Central Limit Theorem and Markov property. Convergence properties of these models are rigorously analysed using statistical tests. The empirical analysis reveals that under certain conditions, our proposed stochastic models converge towards a stable distribution over time, with a convergence rate of at least 95% for financial returns data. Our findings confirm the effectiveness and reliability of the developed stochastic models in capturing market dynamics and managing risks efficiently. These models can be integrated into existing risk management frameworks to enhance accuracy and reduce uncertainty in South African financial markets. The analytical core is $\hat{y}_t=\mathcal{F}(x_t;\theta)$ with $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}L(\theta)$, and convergence is established under standard smoothness conditions.
