    The hausdorff metric and its extensions.
    (De Gruyter, 2002-01-01) Moshokoa, Seithuti P.
    We consider a complete metric space (X, p) such that closed balls are compact. The paper is devoted to the Hausdorff distance d defined on 5?, the space of all nonempty compact subsets of X. We construct an embedding (5R, d) (Sr, distf), where S is the family of all closed subsets of X. We show that (Sr, distf) is compact.

    On completeness of Quasi-pseudometric spaces.
    (Hindawi publishing corporation, 2005-04-21) Moshokoa, Seithuti P.
    We discuss completeness in terms of a notion of absolute closure. This will be done in the context of separated quasi-pseudometric spaces and bitopological spaces. The notion isequivalent to the classical notion of completeness when restricted to the class of metric spaces.

    It is the object of this paper to introduce the notions of (δ, p) - continuity and (δ, p)-closed graphs by utilizing the notion of (δ, p)-open sets and investigate the fundamental properties of (δ, p)-continuous functions and also present some properties of functions with (δ, p)-closed graphs.

    On some new maximal and minimal sets via θ-open sets.
    (The Korean Mathematical Society, 2006-04-06) Caldas, Miguel; Jafari, Saeid; Moshokoa, Seithuti P.
    Nakaoka and Oda ([1] and [2]) introduced the notion of maximal open sets and minimal closed sets in topological spaces. In this paper, we introduce new classes of sets called maximal θ-open sets, minimal θ-closed sets, θ-semi maximal open and θ-semi minimal closed and investigate some of their fundamental properties.

    Primitive shifts on ψ-spaces.
    (Elsevier, 2011-01-01) Gutek, A.; Moshokoa, S.P.; Rajagopalan, M.; Sundaresan, K.
    Let D be a countable discrete space and let p ∈ D. For any primitive shift σ : D → D \ {p} there are 2c σ-invariant maximal almost disjoint families on D. This implies that there are 2c pairwise non-homeomorphic Ψ∗ spaces admitting primitive shifts. Under a = c there exists a maximal almost disjoint family F on a countable discrete space D such that the spaces Ψ (F) and Ψ∗(F) admit no primitive shift.

    Shifts on zero-dimensional compact metric spaces.
    (Elsevier, 2013-09-13) Gutek, A.; Moshokoa, S.P.; Rajagopalan, M.
    It is shown that every compact zero-dimensional metric space X with either no isolated points or infinitely many isolated points has a complex shift. If X is a disjoint union of a compact infinite scattered metric space and the Cantor set then X has a real shift also. If X is a disjoint union of a nonempty finite scattered metric space and the Cantor set then X has no shift.

    Singular optical solitons in birefringent nano-fibers.
    (Elsevier, 2016-06-27) Savescu, Michelle; Zhou, Qin; Moraru, Luminita; Biswas, Anjan; Moshokoa, Seithuti P.; Belic, Milivoj B.
    This paper serves as a sequel to previously published results on bright, dark and singular solitons in birefringent fibers with spatio-temporal dispersion, during 2014. The second form of singular soliton solutions is retrieved in this paper for birefringent nano-fibers with Kerr and parabolic laws of nonlinearity. There are constraint conditions that evolve with the solution structure.

    Small inductive dimension and Alexandroff topological spaces.
    (Elsevier, 2014-01-01) Georgiou, Dimitris N.; Megaritis, Athanasios C.; Moshokoa, Seithuti P.
    Alexandroff spaces include finite spaces and have a wide range of applications in many areas such as computer graphics and image analysis. We give results on small inductive dimension of Alexandroff T0-spaces. Particularly, we characterize the small inductive dimension through connected tuples and study standard properties of Dimension Theory using this characterization. Also, we investigate the relations between the small inductive dimension, the large inductive dimension, and the covering dimension in the class of all Alexandroff T0-spaces. We finally put questions on dimension of Alexandroff T0-spaces.

    Local fractional Laplace variational iteration method for solving diffusion and wave equations on cantor sets within local fractional operators.
    (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015-01-26) Jassim, Hassan Kamil; Ünlü, Canan; Moshokoa, Seithuti Philemon; Khalique, Chaudry Masood
    The local fractional Laplace variational iteration method (LFLVIM) is employed to handle the diffusion and wave equations on Cantor set. The operators are taken in the local sense. The nondifferentiable approximate solutions are obtained by using the local fractional Laplace variational iteration method, which is the coupling method of local fractional variational iteration method and Laplace transform. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the high accuracy and fast convergence of this new algorithm.

    The non-differentiable solution of the linear and non-linear partial differential equations on Cantor sets is implemented in this article. The reduced differential transform method is considered in the local fractional operator sense. The four illustrative examples are given to show the efficiency and accuracy features of the presented technique to solve local fractional partial differential equations.

    Laplace homotopy perturbation method for burgers equation with space- and time-fractional order.
    (De Gruyter, 2015-12-20) Johnston, S. J.; Jafari, H.; Moshokoa, S. P.; Ariyan, V. M.; Baleanu, D.
    The fractional Burgers equation describes the physical processes of unidirectional propagation of weakly nonlinear acoustic waves through a gas-filled pipe. The Laplace homotopy perturbation method is discussed to obtain the approximate analytical solution of space-fractional and time-fractional Burgers equations. The method used combines the Laplace transform and the homotopy perturbation method. Numerical results show that the approach is easy to implement and accurate when applied to partial differential equations of fractional orders.

    (Elsevier, 2017-04-12) Ekici, Mehmet; Zhou, Qin; Sonmezoglu, Abdullah; Moshokoa, Seithuti P.; Ullah, Malik Zaka; Biswas, Anjan; Belic, Milivoj
    This paper obtains soliton solutions to magneto-optic waveguides that appear with Kerr, power and log-law nonlinearities. The extended trial function method is employed to obtain these solutions. Thus, bright, dark and singular soliton solutions are retrieved. In addition, Gaussons are obtained for log-law nonlinear waveguides. All of these solutions appear with constraints that guarantees the existence of solitons and Gaussons.

    Embedded solitons and conservation law with χ (2) and χ (3) nonlinear susceptibilities.
    (Jagiellonian University, 2016-10-27) Savescu, M.; Kara, A.H.; Kumar, S.; Krishnan, E.V.; Ullah, M. Zaka; Moshokoa, S.P.; Zhou, Qin; Biswas, A.
    This paper studies embedded solitons that are confined to continuous spectrum, with χ(2) and χ(3) nonlinear susceptibilities. Bright and singular soliton solutions are obtained by the method of undetermined coefficients. Subsequently, the Lie symmetry analysis and mapping method retrieves additional solutions to the model such as shock waves, singular solitons, cnoidal waves, and several others. Finally, a conservation law for this model is secured through the Lie symmetry analysis.
