The so called lin- earities define a class of Laplace and Fourier transform which include many of the previous transform as special cases.The linearity of both transform helps to identify those assumptions that are needed to define Laplace and Fourier transform with the properties that we require a certain techniques to solve the function by using non-local operators.Item OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF SMALL SPHERICAL PURE METAL IN PASSIVE AND ACTIVE HOST MATRICES(Wolkite University, 2021-12-17) Girma Berga KeretaIn this thesis, we have studied the optical properties of small spherical pure metal in active and passive host matrix. One of the optical properties we have investigated by this work is the local eld enhancement factor for small spherical pure metal in passive and active host matrix. The results show that for small spherical pure metal there is only one maxima of the local eld enhancement factor in both the passive and active host matrix. We present an analytical and numerical method for optical bistability of small spherical pure metal in passive and active host matrix. Using the derived analytical and numerical results we calculated the cubic equation of the optical bistability of small spherical pure metal embedded in passive and active host matrix. To observe considerable di erences on the onset and o set parts of the plots of optical bistability for the active host matrix, we took the integer multiples for the imaginary part of dielectric function of the host matrix ( ′′ h), (i.e. ′′ h = −2, ′′ h = −3 and ′′ h = −4). The third main target of study was to derive the analytical and numerical results of the real and imaginary parts of refractive indices for small spherical pure metal embedded in a host matrix. We have plotted the graphs of the real and imaginary parts of the refractive indices of the analytical and numerical results for small spherical pure metal in active and passive host matrix. The numerical and analytical results show that the local eld enhancement factor is extremely enhanced, the optical bistability activation and the real and imaginary parts of the refactive index are increased when the small spherical pure metal is embedded in active host matrix (i.e. the natural or original property of the imaginary part of the dilectric function of the host matrix is a ected by applying additionalexternal dilectric function on the host matrix).Item NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF LINEAR FREEHOLD INTEGRAL EQUATION OF BY USING NEWTON-COTES QUADRATURE METHOD(Wolkite University, 2023-06-20) SHEGA GASHAWIn this thesis, we discussed the numerical solution of the linear Fredholm integral equation by using the Newton-cotes quadrature rule and the Lagrange interpolation method. Lin ear Fredholm integral equation which can not be easily evaluated analytically. This thesis was concerned with the numerical method. Newton-cotes quadrature method was used to transform the linear Fredholm integral equation into a system algebraic equation. It shows that the approximate solution is uniformly convergent to the exact solution. In addition to demonstrating the efficiency and applicability of the proposed method, several numerical examples are included which confirm the convergent results. After introducing the type of integral equation we were investigate some numerical methods for solving the Freehold in tegral equation of the second kind. For the numerical treatment of the Freehold integral equation, we implemented the following numerical method; the Quadrature method and the Trapezoidal rule. The mathematical framework of these numerical method with their convergence properties was presented. These numerical method will be illustrated by some numerical examples. Comparisons between these method was drawn.Item NEW CONTRIBUTION IN BEST PROXIMITY POINT THEORY VIA AN AUXILIARY FUNCTION(Wolkite University, 2023-11-01) Abebu Getyein this thesis, we introduce the notion of proximal τ -distance contraction, proximal contractive and proximal T -contractive mappings.

Specifically, to gain an understanding of extent to which teachers use different assessment methods and teaching processes. The investigation adopted descriptive survey which intended to produce statistical information about an issue under the study. The data were obtained from students and mathematics teachers of Wachiga esho, Ges uba and Mure secondary schools. For questionnaire survey, 122 students were selected by u sing simple random sampling method and 8 mathematics teachers were purposively chosen as representative samples. The study used a questionnaire and interview as main sources of data collection from both the students and mathematics teachers. The data were analyzed by using the methods of descriptive statistics and Linkert type. The study revealed that though teachers have understanding about the importance of classroom assessment, they are influenced by a number of challenges. As it was observed that lack of teachers' commitment, the lack of knowledge about to effectively use assessment techniques, the lack of timely training regarding assessment techniques, students' misbehavior and absenteeism,inadequay of school resources, large number of students per classroom, and a time limit for provision of feedback. Conclusion of this study was different types of classroom assessment techniques are used to enhance students' progress. Such techniques home-take assessments, written teacher-made tests, review exercises and group assignments that can be made in a term and yearly basis. Therefore, it is recommended that, teachers require professional training in relation to how they can use various assessment methods, tools and techniques in order to plan and design future lesson.Item A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NUMERICAL METHODS FOR SOLVING SYSTEM OF FIRST ORDER ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS(Wolkite University, 2024-08-01) Gosa AshineIn this paper, three numerical methods are discussed to find the approximate solutions of a system of first order ordinary differential equations. Those are Classical Runge-Kutta method and Euler’s method. For each method formulas are developed for n systems of ordinary differential equations. The formulas explained by these methods are demonstrated by examples to identify the most accurate numerical methods. By comparing the analytical solution of the dependent variables with the approximate solution, absolute errors are calculated. The resulting value indicates that classical fourth order Runge-Kutta method offers most closet values with the computed analytical values. Finally, from the results the classical fourth order is more efficient method to find the approximate solutions of the systems of ordinary differential equationsItem COMMON BEST PROXIMITY POINT THEOREMS FOR THE GENERALIZED FUZZY INTERPOLATIVE PROXIMAL CONTRACTIONS ON FUZZY METRIC SPACES(Wolkite University, 2025-01-01) SHANBEL WONDIMUWe introduce a new type of interpolative proximal contractive condition that ensures the existence of the common best proximity points of fuzzy mappings in the complete non-archimedean fuzzy metric spaces. We establish certain best proximity point the orems for such proximal contractions. We improve and generalize the fuzzy proximal contractions by introducing fuzzy proximal interpolative contractions. The obtained results improve and generalize the common best proximity point theorems published in Fuzzy Information and Engineering. Moreover, we provide nontrivial examples to validate our common best proximity point theorem.Item BEST PROXIMITY THEOREM FOR GENERALIZED (θ, γ)-PROXIMAL CONTRACTION MAPPING IN RECTANGULAR QUASI B- METRIC SPACE(Wolkite University, 2025-01-10) KASAHUN BEYENE BEJIGAThis paper explores best proximity point theorems whit in the framework of broad (θ,γ) proximal reduction “mappings in rectangular quasi b-metric spaces”. “We introduce the class of rectangular quasi b- metric” space as a broadening of rectangular metric space, “rectangular quasi” b-metric space, “rectangular b-metric” space,define broad (θ,γ)proximal reduction mappings.
