Alessandra Lunardi (born 1958) [1] is an Italian mathematician specializing in mathematical analysis. She is a professor in the department of mathematics and computer science at the University of Parma. [2] She is particularly interested in Kolmogorov equations and free boundary problems. [3]
Lunardi was educated at the University of Pisa, completing her undergraduate studies there in 1980 and earning a Ph.D. there in 1983. [2] Her dissertation, Analyticity of the maximal solution to fully nonlinear equations in Banach spaces, was supervised by Giuseppe Da Prato. [4]
After continuing on at Pisa as a researcher from 1984 to 1987, she was hired as a full professor at the University of Cagliari in 1987, and moved to Parma in 1994. [2]
Lunardi is the author of Analytic semigroups and optimal regularity in parabolic problems (Birkhäuser, 1995, reprinted 2013) [5] and of Interpolation theory (Edizioni della Normale, 1998, 3rd ed., 2018). [6] With G. Da Prato, P. C. Kunstmann, I. Lasiecka, R. Schnaubelt, and L. Weis, she is a co-author of Functional Analytic Methods for Evolution Equations (Springer, 2004).
Lunardi is one of six editors-in-chief of the journal Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications (NoDEA). [7] She also served as editor-in-chief of Rivista di Matematica della Università di Parma for Series 7 of the journal, from 2002 to 2008. [8]
In 1987, Lunardi won the Bartolozzi Prize of the Italian Mathematical Union. [2] In 2017, she won the Lucio & Wanda Amerio Gold Medal Prize of the Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere. [9]
Francesco Severi was an Italian mathematician. He was the chair of the committee on Fields Medal on 1936, at the first delivery.
Ennio De Giorgi was an Italian mathematician who worked on partial differential equations and the foundations of mathematics.
Hilbert's nineteenth problem is one of the 23 Hilbert problems, set out in a list compiled by David Hilbert in 1900. It asks whether the solutions of regular problems in the calculus of variations are always analytic. Informally, and perhaps less directly, since Hilbert's concept of a "regular variational problem" identifies this precisely as a variational problem whose Euler–Lagrange equation is an elliptic partial differential equation with analytic coefficients, Hilbert's nineteenth problem, despite its seemingly technical statement, simply asks whether, in this class of partial differential equations, any solution inherits the relatively simple and well understood property of being an analytic function from the equation it satisfies. Hilbert's nineteenth problem was solved independently in the late 1950s by Ennio De Giorgi and John Forbes Nash, Jr.
Mauro Picone was an Italian mathematician. He is known for the Picone identity, the Sturm-Picone comparison theorem and being the founder of the Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo, presently named after him, the first applied mathematics institute ever founded. He was also an outstanding teacher of mathematical analysis: some of the best Italian mathematicians were among his pupils.
The Bartolozzi Prize is awarded by the Italian Mathematical Union every two years. Until 2017 it was awarded to an Italian mathematician below the age of 34. Starting with the 2019 edition, the prize is now reserved for female Italian mathematicians below the age of 40. The prize is entitled in the memory of the Italian mathematician Giuseppe Bartolozzi and is worth €3,000.
The Rendiconti del Seminario Matematico Università e Politecnico di Torino is a quarterly peer-reviewed mathematical journal published by the University of Turin and the Polytechnic University of Turin. It is the official journal of the Seminario Matematico dell'Università e Politecnico di Torino. It publishes research papers, invited lectures, and conference proceedings. Noticeable among invited lectures are the Lezioni Lagrangiane, a series of lectures which explore recent scientific progress and future developments in different fields of mathematics and are targeted to a wide public. The journal was established as the Conferenze di Fisica e di Matematica in 1929, obtaining its current name in 1947. The editor in chief is Emilio Musso.
Enzo Martinelli was an Italian mathematician, working in the theory of functions of several complex variables: he is best known for his work on the theory of integral representations for holomorphic functions of several variables, notably for discovering the Bochner–Martinelli formula in 1938, and for his work in the theory of multi-dimensional residues.
Rendiconti del Seminario Matematico della Università di Padova is a peer-reviewed mathematics journal published by Seminario Matematico of the University of Padua, established in 1930.
Giovanni Battista Rizza, officially known as Giambattista Rizza, was an Italian mathematician, working in the fields of complex analysis of several variables and in differential geometry: he is known for his contribution to hypercomplex analysis, notably for extending Cauchy's integral theorem and Cauchy's integral formula to complex functions of a hypercomplex variable, the theory of pluriharmonic functions and for the introduction of the now called Rizza manifolds.
Enrico Giusti was an Italian mathematician mainly known for his contributions to the fields of calculus of variations, regularity theory of partial differential equations, minimal surfaces and history of mathematics. He was professor of mathematics at the Università di Firenze; he also taught and conducted research at the Australian National University at Canberra, at the Stanford University and at the University of California, Berkeley. After retirement, he devoted himself to the managing of the "Giardino di Archimede", a museum entirely dedicated to mathematics and its applications. Giusti was also the editor-in-chief of the international journal dedicated to the history of mathematics Bollettino di storia delle scienze matematiche.
