Education and career

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]

Contributions

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]

Recognition

In 1987, Lunardi won the Bartolozzi Prize of the Italian Mathematical Union. [2] In 2017, she won the Lucio & Wanda Amerio Gold Medal Prize  [ it ] of the Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere. [9]

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.
