Kluwer Academic Publishers 2000 Homological Perturbation Theory – A theory that concerns itself with of a collection of techniques for deriving chain complexes which are both smaller and chain homotopy equivalent to a given chain complex (cf. also Complex (in homological algebra)). It is motivated by the desire to find effective algorithms in homological algebra. The cornerstone of the theory i...

This article bridges Sri Lankan studies and the academic debate on the relation between contemporary Islam and politics. It constitutes a case study of the Muslim community in Akkaraipattu on Sri Lanka’s war-ridden east coast. Over two decades of ethnically colored conflict have made Muslim identity of paramount importance, but the meanings attached to that identity vary substantively. Politici...

A single server waiting line system with Poisson arrivals and Inverse Gaussian service times has been analyzed. The same model has been analyzed by using Mukherjee-Islam (1983) model as the service time model. Inverse Gaussian model has been used in queuing theory but the Mukherjee-Islam model which is basically a failure model has been tested first time as the service time model.
