- ItemThe S-Property and Best Approximation(2000) Sawsan Azmi Sabri Al-Dwaik; Dr. Abdallah A. Hakawati; Dr. Waleed DeebThe problem of best approximation is the problem of finding , for a given point x and a given set G in a normed space (X,||.||) , a point go in G which should be nearest to x among all points of the set G . However , in our study , we shall mainly take as X not an arbitrary normed space but Orlicz space , we shall denote by P(x,G) , the set of all elements of best approximants of x in G. i.e P(x,G)= { gₒ є G llx- g= inf{||x-g||: g є G } The problem of best approximation began , in 1853 , with P. L. Chebyshev who considered the problem in the space of all real valued continuous function defined on [a,b] , a closed real interval in R . My theses consist of four chapters. Each chapter is divided into sections. A number like 2.1.3 indicates item (definition, theorem, corollary or lemma) number 3 in section 1 of chapter 2. Each chapter begins with a clear statement of the pertinent definitions and theorems together with illustrative and descriptive material. At the end of this thesis we present a collection of references. In chapter (1) we introduce the basic results and definitions which shall be needed in the following chapters. The topics include projection, normed space, compactness , Hilbert space and measure theory . This chapter is absolutely fundamental. The results have been stated without proofs, for theory may be looked up in any standard text book in Functional Analysis. A reader who is familiar with these topics may skip this chapter and refer to it only when necessary. Chapter (2) will be devoted to give an introduction to fundamental ideas of Best Approximation in Normed Space. We will start by introducing the definition of best approximants of x є X in a closed subspace G of X . We denote the set of all best approximation of x in G by P(x,G) . In section (2) we study the properties of P(x,G) . In section (3) we define proximinal set and Chebyshev subspace , and we mention some conditions that can assure that G is proximinal in X . Finally , we define Lᵖ- summand and give a simpler proof for the fact that “every a closed subspace of a Hilbert space is proximinal ". Chapter (3) has two purposes .First, we review the properties of Orlicz spaces. Second, we introduce some ofthe basic theory ofproximinality in Orlicz space . This material was designed to meet the needs of chapter (4). W. Deeb and R. Khalil proved the following results. (1) If G is 1-complemented in X, then G is proximinal in X. [1, p.529] . (2) If Lᶲ(μ,G) is proximinal in Lᶲ(μ,X) ,then G is proximinal in X. [3 , p.8] , [2 ,p.297] , [4 , p.37] (3) If L¹(μ,G) is proximinal in L¹(μ,X), then L∞(μ,G) is proximinal in L∞(μ,X) . [1 , p.528] Some questions about proximinality in Lᶲ (μ,G now suggest themselves. (1) Let X be a Banach space and let G be proximinal in X. Under what conditions can it be asserted that G is l-complemented in X? (2)If G is proximinal in X, Under what conditions can it be concluded that Lᶲ (μ,G) is proximinal in Lᶲ(μ,X)? In particular, is the proximinatily of G in X a sufficient condition? (3)If L∞(μ,G) is proximinal in L∞(μ,X). Under what condition can be asserted that L¹(μ,G) is proximinal in L¹(μ,X). These questions are addressed in the section (1) of chapter (4). The answer depends on the S-property. Some interesting results have been achieved. Among of which it is shown that if G has the S-property then L∞ (μ,G) has the S-property . lt is also proved that if G has the S-property then Lᶲ (μ P⁻¹ɢ (0))= P⁻¹Lᶲ (μ,G) (0) I ask our God to be our assistant to continue our efforts so as to achieve the hopes and desires of all scholars in mathematics.

- ItemOn A Mathematical Design System: Maximum Reliability, Minimum Cost(2001) Saleh Sadeq Afaneh; Dr. Mohammad Najib Assa'dIn this thesis, reliability concepts, measures of reliability and static models have been studied. Also, comparisons between exponential and logistic distributions have been discussed. We used two methods; dynamic programming and heuristic approach to maximize the reliability of an electronic device systems, where the optimum structure of components and units of the assumed system have been determined. Examples are given to show the optimum structure ofthe system with the maximum reliability and minimum cost. Comparison between dynamic programming and heuristic approach shows that the dynamic programming results are better than the results obtained by the heuristic approach. Finally, our objective is to characterize marginal cost and minimize cost capacity plans for a typical service delivery system. Results indicate that marginal costs are convex with respect to reliability of service, while changes in the demand distribution’s variability may impact optimal capacity by either increasing or decreasing required capacity. Two demand distributions are assumed; uniform and logistic distributions. The results show that the logistic demand distribution gives an optimum criterion which are more realistic. Also, the optimum capacity using logistic is greater under the condition b/B> 0.5.
- ItemBest Approximation in General Normed Spaces(2001) Mu'tas Hasan Mahmoud Al-Sayed; Dr. Abdallah A. HakawatiLet X=(X,||.||) be a normed space and suppose that any given x in X is to be approximated by an element Y in Y, where Y is a fixed subspace of X. We let d denoted the distance from x to Y. By definition, d = d(x, Y) = infyєY ||x – y|| .Clearly, d depends on both x and Y, which we keep, fixed, so that the simple notation d is in order. If there exists a YoєY such that ||x - Yo|| =d. then Yo is called a best approximation of Y to x or a best approximant of x in Y. We see that a best approximation Yo is an element of minimum distance from the given x. Such a YoєY mayor may not exist; this raises the problem of existence. The problem of uniqueness is of practical interest, too, since for a given x and Y there may be more than one best approximation. My thesis consists of three chapters. In chapter one we summarize some of the essential and basic concepts which shall be needed in the following chapters, this chapter consists of two sections; in the first one we present metric, normed, Banach spaces, and the last one we present inner product, and Hilbert spaces. This chapter is absolutely fundamental. In chapter two, we define best approximations in section one. In section two we study some properties of the set of all best approximations P(x,Y). In section three we study some properties of the proximinaI set and show that compact subspace and finite-dimensional subspace are proximal. In section four we consider the problem of uniqueness of best approximation. In section five we review the properties of OrIicz spaces in which we introduce some of the basic theory of proximinality In chapter three, which is the main body of our thesis, we, in section one, study the main characterizations and properties of best approximations and some consequences of the characterization in arbitrary normed linear spaces. In sections two and three we gives some application in several spaces like L ¹(T,v), C(K) and CR(K).
- ItemConvexity, Fixed Point Theorems and Walrasian Equilibrium(2002) Abdul-Rahim Omar Amin Nur; Dr. Abdallah A. Hakawati; Dr. Rimon Abduh' Y. JadounIn this thesis, I will deal with an application of fixed-point theorem of set valued map [Let X and Y be two subsets of Rⁿ: A set-valued map F from X to Y, is a map that associates with any x є X a subset F(x) of Y, A fixed point x for F exists if x є F(x) ], and convexity to prove the existence of Walrasian Equilibrium under sufficient conditions for both pure exchange economy and private ownership economy. Then I will show how to modify these theorems in more general cases under uncertainty and externalities.

- ItemMathematical Theory of Wavelets(2009) Bothina Mohammad Hussein Gannam; Dr. Anwar SalehWavelets are functions that satisfy certain requirements and are used in representing and processing functions and signals, as well as, in compression of data and images, in many fields such as: mathematics, physics, computer science, engineering, and study of wavelet transform had been motivated by the need to the medicine. The overcome some weak points in representing functions and signals by the classical Fourier transform such as Gibbs phenomenon. In addition, wavelet transform have showed superiority over the classical Fourier transform. They converge faster than Fourier transform, leading to more efficient processing of signals and data. In this thesis, we overview the theory of wavelet transform, as well as, the theory of Fourier transform and make a comparative theoretical study between the tow major transforms proving the superiority of wavelet transform over the Fourier transforms in the speed of convergence and the accuracy or many functions
- ItemMultigrid Methods for Elliptic Partial Differential Equations(2010) Rania Taleb Mohammad Wannan; Dr. Anwar SalehPartial differential equations appear in mathematical models that describe natural phenomena. Various methods can be used for solving such equations. In this thesis, an overview of classical iterative methods, as well as, the most recent multigrain methods is given. The classical iterative methods used are; the Jacobi, the Gauss-Seidel, and the SOR methods. Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods are efficient in smoothing the error but not in reducing it. The smoothing property of some classical methods motivated the work done on multigrain methods. Poisson's problem in one and two dimensions has been used as model problem in the study of multigrain methods. The study shows that the rate of convergence of multigrain methods does not depend on the mesh size, a feature that makes multigrain methods good accelerator of classical methods like Gauss-Seidel.
- ItemDecoding Turbo Codes with Linear Programming(2013) Hisham Hamed Abdel-Raouf Salahat; Dr. Mohammad Assa`d; Dr. Mohammad OmranIn this thesis we investigate the application of Linear Programming LP relaxation to the problem of decoding an error-correcting code. LP relaxation is a standard technique in approximation algorithms and operation research, and it is used to find good suboptimal solution to very difficult optimization problems. The method of a posteriori probability and iterative decoding algorithm is used to decode product codes (a special type of turbo codes). We investigate a program using Matlab to make computations to our algorithm. The logistic distribution with variance one is used. We compare the results of our computations to those of other authors; we find that our results are the best all over the others. The LP method has its place in the generic turbo code, which is made up of asset of simpler" trellis-based" codes, we formulate the LP for a single trellis-based code as a min-cost flow problem, using the trellis as a directed flow. We extend this formulation to any turbo codes by applying constraints between the LP variables used in each component code. One of the most advantages for LP decoding is that whenever the decoder output a result it is guaranteed to be the optimal solution, the most likely (ML) information sent over the channel, we refer to this property as the ML certificate property.
- ItemFuzzy Fredholm Integral Equation of the Second Kind(2014) Muna Shaher Yousef Amawi; Prof. Dr. Naji QatananiFuzzy Fredholm integral equations of the second kind have received considerable attention due to the importance of these types of equations in studies associated with applications in mathematical physics and fuzzy financial and economic systems. After addressing the basic concepts of fuzzy integral equations, we have investigated the analytical and the numerical aspects of the fuzzy Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. The analytical methods include: Fuzzy Laplace transform method, Homotopy analysis method (HAM), Adomain decomposition method (ADM) and Fuzzy differential transformation method (FDTM). For the numerical treatment of the fuzzy integral equation of the second kind, we have employed the Taylor expansion method and the trapezoidal method. Some numerical test cases are included. A comparison between the analytical and the numerical methods has been presented. Numerical results have shown to be in a closed agreement with the analytical ones.
- ItemExtending Topological Properties to Fuzzy Topological Space(2014) Ruba Mohammad Abdul-Fattah Adarbeh; Dr. Fawwaz AbudiakIn this thesis the topological properties of fuzzy topological spaces were investigated and have been associated with their duals in classical topological spaces. Fuzzy sets, fuzzy functions and fuzzy relations were presented along with their properties. Different types of fuzzy topological spaces (FTS) were introduced in Chang’s and Lowen’s sense as well as intuitionistic (FTS). Many topological properties were proved to be extensions to those in non fuzzy setting, while examples were presented for those non extension properties. For instance, the closure of the product is not equal to the product of the closures. Also different approaches of separation axioms were investigated using Q-neighborhoods and fuzzy points, it turns out that most of them are not extension of classical separation axioms. Fuzzy topological properties are considered, for instance, we studied fuzzy connectedness and fuzzy compactness. It is found that the product of an infinite number of fuzzy compact spaces may not be compact. Finally, fuzzy continuity, fuzzy almost continuity and fuzzy ??-continuity were introduced with a theorem proved the way they are related.
- ItemAn Analytic and Dynamic Programming Treatment for Solow and Ramsey Models(2014) Ahmad Yasir Amer Thabaineh; Dr. Mohammad Assa`dIn this thesis, we studied two of the most important exogenous economic growth models; Solow and Ramsey models and their effects in microeconomics by using dynamic programming techniques. Dynamic programming (DP) is a general approach to solve economic growth problems. The main differences between Solow and Ramsey models are discussed in details. Bellman value function for the growth models is applied to the two models and an analytic formula are derived. Concerning the models under study, we then discussed the steady states for the model and derived a closed formula for the capital. This formula was checked by computer using Python codes where a new concave assumed value function is given; , to be compared with a value function given by other . These two initial functions have the same properties of being monotone and concave up. The comparison shows the excellence and advantages of our assumption. We reached the true value function faster.
