A STUDY ON NONSYMMETRIC MATRIX-VALUED FUNCTIONS

2009 Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Sun Defeng for all of his guidance, encouragement and support. He taught me how to do research and did it with great care and patience. his patient guidance and great help. I would also like to acknowledge National University of Singapore for providing me the financial support and the pleasant environment for my study. Last but not least, I am also grateful to many friends at National University of Singapore for their help and support.
