A covariant approach to gravitational lensing

Includes bibliography. === The main focus of this thesis is to study the properties of null geodesics in general relativistic models. This thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part, we introduce the (1+3)-covariant approach which will be used in our study of null geodesics and their applic...
