B N Mandal Author

M M Panja has a MSc in Applied Mathematics (1987) from Calcutta University, India, and a PhD (1993) from Visva-Bharati University, India. He investigated the origin of (hidden) geometric phase on quantum mechanical problems and initiated studies on Lie group theoretic approach of differential equations during his postdoctoral research. His investigations (2007) on approximation theory based on multiresolution analysis, has been published several international journals. His current research interests are (i) multiscale approximation based on wavelets, and (ii) similarity (exact) solution of mathematical models involving differential and integral operators.
