Eduard Feireisl (born 16 December 1957 in Kladno) is a Czech mathematician. [1] [2]
After studying from 1973 to 1977 at secondary school in NovéStrašecí,Feireisl studied mathematics at Charles University in Prague from 1977 and graduated there in 1982. [3] He received his doctorate in 1986 from the Institute of Mathematics of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences with thesis Critical points of non-differentiable functionals:existence of solutions to problems of mathematical elasticity theory under the supervision of Vladimir Lovicar. [4] During the 1980s he worked as an assistant professor at the Department of Mathematics of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU). He studied at the Institute of Mathematics of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (as a member since 1988) and habilitated there in 1999. He became a lecturer at the Charles University in 2009 and was appointed there to a full professorship in 2011. [3]
Feireisl spent in 1989 half a year in Oxford,in 1993/94 a sabbatical year at the Complutense University of Madrid,and in 1998 and in 1999 half a year at the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon. He was also as visiting scholar for 12 months from 2001 to 2013 at Henri PoincaréUniversity in Nancy and for 3 months in 2000 at Ohio State University. He was in 2004/05 at the TU Munich,from 2008 to 2010 a visiting professor at the Central European University in Budapest,and in 2012 at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute in Vienna. For 2018 to 2021 he was appointed an Einstein Visiting Fellow at TU Berlin. [3]
His research deals with partial differential equations,infinite dimensional dynamical systems,and mathematical problems of hydrodynamics.
He received in 2004 and 2009 the Prize of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic,in 2015 the Neuron Award,and in 2017 the gold medal of Charles University,as well as the Bernard Bolzano Honorary Medal from the Czech Academy of Sciences. In 2012,he chaired the scientific committee of the European Congress of Mathematicians in Krakow. He was an invited speaker in 2002 at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing, [5] and at the conference Dynamics,Equations and Applications in Kraków in 2019. [6] In 2018 he was a member of the Fields Medal Selection Committee. In 2013 he received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) for the study of mathematical modeling of gas movement and heat exchange. [3]
In physics, physical chemistry and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluids – liquids and gases. It has several subdisciplines, including aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. Fluid dynamics has a wide range of applications, including calculating forces and moments on aircraft, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting weather patterns, understanding nebulae in interstellar space and modelling fission weapon detonation.
Jürgen Kurt Moser was a German-American mathematician, honored for work spanning over four decades, including Hamiltonian dynamical systems and partial differential equations.
Hans Lewy was an American mathematician, known for his work on partial differential equations and on the theory of functions of several complex variables.
Nikolay Nikolayevich Bogolyubov was a Soviet, Ukrainian and Russian mathematician and theoretical physicist known for a significant contribution to quantum field theory, classical and quantum statistical mechanics, and the theory of dynamical systems; he was the recipient of the 1992 Dirac Medal for his works and studies.
Kurt Otto Friedrichs was a German-American mathematician. He was the co-founder of the Courant Institute at New York University, and a recipient of the National Medal of Science.
Alexandre Joel Chorin is an American mathematician known for his contributions to computational fluid mechanics, turbulence, and computational statistical mechanics.
Robert Bartnik was an Australian mathematician based at Monash University. He was known for his contributions to the rigorous mathematical study of general relativity. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Melbourne University and a PhD in mathematics from Princeton University in 1983, where his advisor was Shing-Tung Yau. In 2004 he was elected to the Australian Academy of Science, with citation:
Professor Bartnik is renowned internationally for the application of geometric analysis to mathematical problems arising in Einstein's theory of general relativity. His work is characterised by his ability to uncover new and anticipated phenomena in space-time geometry, often employing sophisticated tools from linear and nonlinear partial differential equations as well as elaborate numerical computations. He has contributed greatly to our understanding of the properties of the Einstein equations and gravitation.
Paco Axel Lagerstrom was a Swedish-American applied mathematician and aeronautical engineer. He was trained formally in mathematics, but worked for much of his career in aeronautical applications. He was known for work in applying the method of asymptotic expansion to fluid mechanics problems. Several of his works have become classics, including "Matched Asymptotic Expansions: Ideas And Techniques".
George David Birkhoff was one of the top American mathematicians of his generation. He made valuable contributions to the theory of differential equations, dynamical systems, the four-color problem, the three-body problem, and general relativity. Today, Birkhoff is best remembered for the ergodic theorem. The George D. Birkhoff House, his residence in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has been designated a National Historic Landmark.
Czesław Olech was a Polish mathematician. He was a representative of the Kraków school of mathematics, especially the differential equations school of Tadeusz Ważewski.
Eduard J. Zehnder is a Swiss mathematician, considered one of the founders of symplectic topology.
Pavel Ilyich Etingof is an American mathematician of Russian-Ukrainian origin. He does research on the intersection of mathematical physics and representation theory, e.g., quantum groups.
Mark Iosifovich Freidlin is a Russian-American probability theorist who works as a Distinguished University Professor of Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is one of the namesakes of the Freidlin–Wentzell theory, which is an important part of the large deviations theory. Freidlin and Wentzell are the authors of the first monograph on the large deviations theory for stochastic processes (1979). The Freidlin-Wentzell theory describes, in particular, the long-time effects caused by random perturbations. The latest edition of the book was published by Springer in 2012. It contains not just the results on large deviations but also new results on other asymptotic problems, in particular, on the averaging principle for stochastic perturbations. Other works of Mark Freidlin concern perturbations of Hamiltonian systems, wave front propagation in reaction-diffusion equations, non-linear perturbations of partial differential equations. stochasticity in deterministic dynamical systems.
