پاکستان میں اتحاد بین المسالک پر منتخب اردو تحریروں کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Whenever any issue regarding the religious matters was put up in the presence of the Holy Prophet (SAW), he himself explained that logically. The companions of the Holy Prophet (SAW) also sought his consent in such matters. However, there were some differences among the Companions (Saḥabas) regarding some of diligently-conceived views. Later on, such differences were multiplied and caused sectarian issues. In consequence of diligently-conceived opinions and efforts to address the issues of the Holy Qu’rān and Sunnah, four distinct sects emerged. Moreover, such differences took a different form in the later years which further led to the heinous act of “Takfeer”. Currently, the mutual enmity is at a great premium especially in Pakistan. This article will introduce and analyze the selected books, trying to indicate strengths and weakness of the subject matter discussed in books, in addition to examine the methodologies used in.

Adaptive Estimation Using State-Space Methods

This thesis focuses on the development of new variants of adaptive filters. Built around state-space framework, the proposed filters are especially suitable for applications like tracking, output feedback control and recursive spectrum estimation. They operate without prior knowledge of process and observation noise statistics and exhibit good stability properties. The development in this thesis can broadly be classified into state- space least mean square (SSLMS) and finite memory least-squares filters. SSLMS is a generalization of the well-known least mean square (LMS) filter. Incorporating linear time-varying state-space model of the underlying environment, SSLMS exhibits marked improvement in its tracking performance over the standard LMS. An extension of SSLMS is SSLMS with adaptive memory (SSLMSWAM). SSLMSWAM iteratively tunes the step-size parameter by stochastic gradient method in an attempt to yield its most appropriate value. This filter is useful for situations where a suitable value of step-size parameter is difficult to obtain beforehand. Recursive nature of an adaptive filter brings with it stability issues. The concept of finite memory (or receding horizon) for an adaptive filter is appealing because it ensures stability. This motivates the development of finite memory filters, both for iiiunforced and forced systems. Finite impulse response (FIR) adaptive filter, built around structure of an unforced system, uses weighted observations on a finite interval. Uniform weighting of the observations results in rectangular RLS (RRLS). Additional flexibility is achieved by developing an adaptive memory variant of FIR adaptive filter. Similar to SSLMSWAM, the data window size is iteratively tuned so as to minimize the prediction error. For the forced system case, a useful solution in the form of receding horizon state observer is obtained. It finds utility in output feedback control of linear time-varying systems. An insight into convergence properties of finite memory based filters is provided by the convergence analyses. Spectrum update with the arrival of new data is a desirable feature in real-time spectrum estimation applications. The mathematical equivalence of RRLS resonator bank and recursive discrete Fourier transform (DFT) gives the rationale for using the newly developed filters for recursive spectrum estimation. A symmetric windowed variant of RRLS called ‘truncated exponential RLS (TERLS)’ is useful for reducing spectral leakage. Same is true for an SSLMS resonator, which has an attractive feature that spectral side levels and main lobe width may be reduced simultaneously by reducing the step-size parameter. The higher order resonator (HOR), constructed from several SSLMS resonators, exhibits close resemblance to an ideal (rectangular) frequency bin, thus minimizing spectral leakage and increasing resolution.
