ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

All praise be to Almighty Allah, the cherisher and sustainer of the world. I would like to bow my head
before Him, the Creator of the universe and offer countless Darood and Salaams to our beloved Holy
Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon him), for whom this universe has been manifested. I would
like to thank Allah Almighty from the core of my heart, whose benediction bestowed upon me through
my talented teachers who provided me sufficient opportunities and enabled me to undertake and
execute this research work.

Moreover, my heartfelt appreciation goes to my affectionate, sincere, kind and most respected
supervisor Dr. Asif Waheed for so patiently bearing and guiding me, invaluably suggesting and
continuously encouraging me with his precious contributions in completing this thesis. I am grateful for
the constructive criticisms as well as his encouraging comments. Without his invaluable advice and
guidance, this thesis would not have come to realization. He has been very kind in extending all possible
help to make this work a success. His ideologies and concepts have a remarkable impact on my research
contrivances. He genuinely facilitated me without which my objective would not have been obtained. I
have learnt a lot from his abilities. He is my model as a teacher, a researcher, a supervisor, a mentor and
a friend.

I extend my deepest gratitude to my teachers Prof. Dr. Syed Tauseef Mohyud-Din, Prof. Dr. Muhammad
Tahir and Prof. Dr. Muhammad Rafiq, for their moral support, kind comments and morale boosting
attitude. I am grateful to all of my teachers. They always guided me sincerely and honestly throughout
my course work as well as research work.

I would like to pay the most sincere gratitude to Vice Chancellor HITEC University Brig (R). Qamar Zaman
for the provision of research oriented and conducive environment coupled with the appropriate
facilities. His sincere efforts to stream line the system can be considered a role model. His personal
interest in the subject proved to be the real driving force and the pivotal motivating factor behind the
success of this work. It was his dynamic and proactive approach that enabled us to learn mathematics
and do their search under the guidance of eminent mathematicians of national and international repute.

I would like to appreciate my fellow Mr. Usman and Mr. Raza for encouraging me to take part in this
program, in fact, during the whole project whenever the clouds of despair and anxiety darkened my life;
they behaved like a true mentor to shun all hindrances.

I may not forget to mention my mother whose long lasting prayers have opened new horizons of success
for me. I pay regards to my caring family whose sincere prayers, best wishes and loving attitude always
made me courageous and daring throughout my life.
