The thesis titled "Studies on codes and graphs with Rosenbloom-Tsfasman Metric" submitted
by Mr.R.Rajkumar makes a significant contribution to the theory of error correcting codes
and distance graphs. The thesis mainly focuses on the role played by the RT metric-
introduced by Rosenbloom and Tsfasman in diverse areas, namely coding theory, graph
theory and interconnection networks. The RT metric is known for its usefulness in case of
interference in several consecutive channels in coding theory literature. And there has been a
considerable amount of study going on in this direction in recent years. The work presented
by Mr. Rajkumar proceeds in making a good contribution to the advancement of knowledge
in this field. Overall, the thesis is well-structured, easy to read, and the results are correct
and clearly stated. In summary, this thesis is a significant contribution to coding and graph
theory that opens up possible applications to interconnection networks. The candidate
exhibits skill and made substantial advancement of knowledge in this field. Hence without
hesitation I strongly commend the thesis for the award of the Ph.D. degree.

1. The thesis is dedicated to the theoretical properties and applications of the

Rosenbloom and Tsfasman metric in several very important areas algebraic coding
theory, metric graph theory and interconnection networks. A number of novel
concepts are introduced and explored. For example, a new class of circulant RT
distance codes and the notion of fuzzy RT distance codes are defined and
investigated. In my opinion, this is the very best doctoral thesis among the many
theses that I have evaluated. The results obtained in the thesis have been published in
eight high-quality journal articles and have been presented at seven conferences. This
work belongs to the intersection of several research directions. All of these directions
are very important and the results obtained in the thesis are excellent. They clearly
demonstrate that R. Rajkumar has acheived high level of expertise in all of these
branches and is well qualified for productive work in these areas. The text in the
present form is well-written and constitutes enjoyable and enlightening reading. This
is why the thesis in its present form is highly commended for the award of the PhD
degree.

2. The researcher has tried to discuss the zerodivisor graphs of some special class of
loopring using Z2 and Z and their chromatic numbers are determined in chapter 4.
Fifth chapter deals with the concept of generalized k-strongly edgemagic labeling. For
this, necessary and sufficient conditions have been applied to get the desired results.
 On the whole the thesis provides sufficient evidence of the candidate’s capacity for
originality and capability of carrying out research work independently. The thesis is
satisfactory in point of language and presentation of the subject matter. In my view,
the thesis can be approved for the award of Ph.D. degree in mathematics in the
present form

3. The thesis contains a detailed exposition of the research work undertaken by the
candidate. It is devoted to the important notion of a zero-divisor graph, which falls
neatly into the intersection of graph theory and universal algebra. The thesis begins
with a thorough and comprehensive overview of the required preliminaries and
previous results obtained by scientists who have contributed to this research
direction. Subsequent chapters contain new facts and techniques discovered by the
candidates. Complete proofs are given to new theorems obtained by the author of the
thesis. The Thesis contains many new interesting results and is strongly recommended
for the award of Ph.D. degree.

4. This thesis is a considerable work covering ideas of the Data analysis models using
fuzzy techniques. The author has taken ideas from the existing fuzzy models and
generalized to some interesting new fuzzy models. . . The theis provides appropriate
illustrations emphasizing on the social and real world problems as a whole. The
formulation of the thesis is correct and well planned. I recommend the thesis for the
award of the degree of doctor of philosophy

5. The thesis is devoted to novel applications of important concepts of fuzzy set theory
and is focusing on data processing. The kind of data considered in the thesis is
particularly difficult to analyze using previous traditional methods. It is remarkable
that the choice of fuzzy set theory has turned out more meaningful and appropriate for
tackling broad classes of problems including social and psychological problems. The
classes considered are very broad and can be also applied in engineering and to
handle scientific questions. The thesis introduces several new models, all of these are
novel and esstenial contributions seriously advancing this direction. In my opinion the
thesis is very well written and should be commened for the award of the Ph.D degree

6. The thesis is self content and well presented. It contains many new ideas and orginal
results. The coding theory is becoming more and more important in communication.
This way he as developed the thesis shows that the author reveals a complete mastery
over the subject and the author is familiar with contemporary research on RD codes.
Hence, I strongly feel that the one must congratulate the supervisor and the student for
this valuable work.
I have great pleasure in recommending that R.S.Selvaraj may be awarded the Ph.D
degree in Mathematics and the thesis may be regarded as Highly commended
Prof ************** , Dept. *********, ************ University ,Country

7. This thesis provides several new results on rank distance codes. The work presented
by Selvaraj proceeds in good tradition with previous work conducted by Dr(Mrs)
Vasantha and her collaborators. The thesis is well-written, well-structured, and the
results are clearly stated. The candidate exhibits skill to solve substantial
mathematical problems (in particular, Chapter 2, 4 and 5). Based on this thesis, the
candidate deserves to receive the Ph.D in Mathematics.

8. I must congratulate the supervisor and the candidate for one of the good theses in
Algebra. They have introduced new definitions, proved many results in detail and
suggested interesting research problems in their thesis. The thesis not only studies the
special elements of both associative rings and non-associative rings, it also introduces
several new Smarandache special elements and using these new Smarandache
algebraic structures have been introduced. To summarize, the thesis is self-contained,
theorems are proved with all details. Further, it contains many examples and counter
examples, which clarifies the theory. Contains many new ideas and opened the
channel of S-rings. The author is familiar with contemporary research on related
topics. The thesis makes a valuable contribution to the field of Algebra.

9. A well-written thesis […] The last section on applications is a persuasive summary of

the importance of some of the results in the thesis. In sum, the number and the
significance of the results appear to be suitable for the award of Ph.D.

10. The author and the student deserve to be congratulated for their detailed study of the
concept and beautiful presentation of the results... the thesis makes an valuable
contributiin to the theory of fuzzy subgroups.

Fuzzy sets and groups is an interesting and important topic of current research in algebra. It
is a topic that is perhaps at a relatively early age of deverlopment and this makes it
especially suitable for a thesis. I highly commend Professor Vasantha for her ingenuity in
guiding her students in this interesting and fruitful direction. In summary this is a very well
written thesis which contains a number of interesting results on an important topic

11. The result seems to be new and interesting... Finally I may say that this is a
reasonably good thesis.
