This book is a collection of selected research papers, some of which were presented at the International Conference on Differential Geometry, Algebra and Analysis (ICDGAA 2016), held at the Department of Mathematics, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, from 15–17 November 2016. It covers a wide range of topics—geometry of submanifolds, geometry of statistical submanifolds, ring theory, module theory, optimization theory, and approximation theory—which exhibit new ideas and methodologies for current research in differential geometry, algebra and analysis. Providing new results with rigorous proofs, this book is, therefore, of much interest to readers who wish to learn new techniques in these areas of mathematics.
