INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO POPULATION SIZE ESTIMATION WITH HETEROGENEITY PATTERNS

Population size estimation is a critical endeavor, often requiring innovative methods when counting every individual isn't feasible. Capture-recapture, initially developed for wildlife population estimation, offers a valuable approach. In the context of human populations, this method involves creating lists of individuals sampled from the population, providing the foundation for estimating the

ENHANCING FOURIER SERIES: EXPANDING APERIODIC FUNCTIONS ON LIMITED INTERVALS

The use of Fourier series is well-established for periodic functions defined on specific intervals. However, when dealing with aperiodic functions within limited intervals, the challenge arises in extending them to periodic functions within the same domain. This is often achieved through half-range sine or cosine expansions, which, while common, can result in periodic functions that are

OPTIMIZING SYSTEM RELIABILITY: A POLYNOMIAL-TIME REDUNDANCY ALLOCATION APPROACH

Redundancy, defined as the use of multiple independent means to accomplish a task, plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability of complex systems. This concept was exemplified in NASA's Apollo 10 mission, where redundancy allowed the mission to continue when a fuel cell malfunctioned. However, designing a complex system with redundancy presents a trade-off between achieving stringent
