However, when Igrew up and decided to pursue Mathematics more specifically, this fantasy was shaping into astronger dream. In my IIT days, I was keen on getting my dream fulfilled. And now I am here,with all the blessings and good wishes of friends and families, with the title I always dreamt of.Foremost, I express my deep gratitude to my supervisor Prof. Dr. Gerald Warnecke. Besidesimparting in me the basic fundamentals of Mathematics, he gave me remarkable suggestionsand supervision, which improved my scientific writing. My work grew better with his advicesand criticism during our group seminars and discussions. His patience and support helped meto finish my thesis successfully. Under his tutelage, I grew into an able researcher.
