"Science, development and the rebuilding of Rwanda", 5 September 2014, Romain Murenzi

As Rwanda sought to rebuild after the horrors of the 1994 genocide, its development strategy emphasised science and technology. Romain Murenzi, who served as Rwanda’s science minister for eight years, describes the lessons this approach might offer to other developing countries.

"Africa in the global knowledge economy", 2005, Professor Romain Murenzi and Mike Hughes

New strategies for international co-operation in Africa will need to consider major trends such as globalisation and regional integration initiatives. Major reforms in political governance and democracy are taking root in most parts of Africa, but challenges – such as war and low levels of economic growth – remain.

"Science is helping Rwanda give up the ghosts of the past", 30 October 2008, Romain Murenzi

Rwanda's recent success has depended, first, on sustained political and economic commitments from the highest levels of government, and, second, on a strategic vision that has allowed the nation to transform these commitments into policies and programmes that have had a positive impact on peoples' lives.

"Broadband and the Development of Rwanda", January 2008, Romain Murenzi

Rwanda is staking its hopes for economic growth and the country’s future upon an ambitious 20-year project, now entering its second five-year phase, to make the country a regional ICT powerhouse. The plan calls for a nationwide fibre backbone to turn the country into a knowledge-based society. It intends to become a regional communications hub and a centre of excellence in ICT to support the growth of a robust financial sector, outsourced computer services, and regional air traffic control.

"Education as a Human Right: The Rwandan Case from 1994-2004", July 2006, Romain Murenzi, John Rutayisire and Claver Yisa

This Paper explores the concept of education as a human right, and assesses the Rwandan experience from 1994 to 2004 within the context of international perspectives. It sets scene with reference to vision 2020 and Poverty Reduction Strategy Programme which are the main guiding frameworks that provide a road map for Rwanda's development in the next fifteen years.

"Safety in Education: Rwandan Case", July, 2006, Romain Murenzi, Claver Yisa and Charles Gahima

Safety in Education is a fundamental necessity because without it there cannot be any meaningful learning, which is central in any education setting. Safety in education, therefore, should be a government's policy issue in which education safety norms, measures and codes are properly defined.

"Building a prosperous global knowledge economy in Africa: Rwanda as a case study", Romain Murenzi and Mike Hughes

It is evident that strategies need to be undertaken to reverse the decline of Africa’s share of world trade. This paper argues that through the development of regional and sub-regional integration, coupled with the development of national science and technological innovative and entrepreneurship skills, the fortunes can be reversed. The study focuses on Rwanda and reviews the policies and strategies to acquire and create knowledge linked to knowledge transfer and innovation to stimulate and develop the national economy in particular encouraging the private sector as an engine of growth. It emphasises the importance of regional cooperation to open larger markets and economies of scale.

"Two-dimensional wavelets and their relatives", Jean-Pierre Antoine, Romain Murenzi, Pierre Vandergheynst and Syed Twareque Ali

This book introduces 2-D wavelets via 1-D continuous wavelet transforms. The authors then describe the underlying mathematics before progressing to more advanced topics such as matrix geometry of wavelet analysis and three-dimensional wavelets. Practical applications and illustrative examples are employed extensively throughout, ensuring the book's value to engineers, physicists and mathematicians. Two-dimensional wavelets offer a number of advantages over discrete wavelet transforms, in particular, for analysis of real-time signals in such areas as medical imaging, fluid dynamics, shape recognition, image enhancement and target tracking.

"1D & 2D Covariant Affine Integral Quantizations", Jean-Pierre Gazeau and Romain Murenzi

Covariant affine integral quantization of the half-plane ℝ×ℝ+\{0} is presented .We examine the consequences of different quantizer operators built from weight functions on the half-plane. One of these weights yields the usual canonical quantization and a quasi-probability distribution (affine Wigner function) which is real, marginal in both position and momentum vectors. An extension to the phase space for the motion of a particle in the punctured plane and its application to the quantum rotating frame are mentioned.

"More quantum centrifugal effect in rotating frame", Jean-Pierre Gazeau, Tomoi Koide, and Romain Murenzi

The behaviour of quantum systems in non-inertial frames is revisited from the point of view of affine coherent state (ACS) quantization. We restrict our approach to the one-particle dynamics confined in a rotating plane about a fixed axis. This plane is considered as punctured due to the existence of the rotation center, which is viewed as a singularity. The corresponding phase space is the affine group of the plane and the ACS quantization enables us to quantize the system by respecting the affine symmetry of the true phase space. Our formulation predicts the appearance of an additional quantum centrifugal term, besides the usual angular-momentum one, which prevents the particle to reach the singular rotation center. Moreover it helps us to understand why two different non-inertial Schrödinger equations are obtained in previous works. The validity of our equation can be confirmed experimentally by observing the harmonic oscillator bound states and the critical angular velocity for their existence.

Covariant affine integral quantization(s), Jean-Pierre Gazeau and Romain Murenzi

ABSTRACT

Covariant affine integral quantization of the half-plane is studied and applied to the motion of a particle on the half-line. We examine the consequences of different quantizer operators built from weight functions on the half-plane. To illustrate the procedure, we examine two particular choices of the weight function, yielding thermal density operators and affine inversion, respectively. The former gives rise to a temperature-dependent probability distribution on the half-plane whereas the latter yields the usual canonical quantization and a quasi-probability distribution (affine Wigner function) which is real, marginal in both momentum p and position q. Journal of Mathematical Physics 57, 052102 (2016).

Covariant affine integral quantization is studied and applied to the motion of a particle in a punctured plane ℝ2∗:=ℝ2∖{0}, for which the phase space is ℝ2∗×ℝ2. We examine the consequences of different quantizer operators built from weight functions on ℝ2∗×ℝ2. To illustrate the procedure, we examine two examples of weights. The first one corresponds to 2-D coherent state families, while the second one corresponds to the affine inversion in the punctured plane. The later yields the usual canonical quantization and a quasi-probability distribution (2-D affine Wigner function) which is real, marginal in both position 𝐪 and momentum 𝐩.  Advances in Operator Theory (2020), 24 January 2020
