Biography

Stefanelli obtained his PhD under the guidance of Pierluigi Colli  [ Wikidata ] in 2003 at the University of Pavia. He holds a Researcher position at the Istituto di Matematica Applicata e Tecnologie Informatiche E. Magenes of the National Research Council (Italy) in Pavia since 2001. In 2013 he has been appointed to the chair of Applied Mathematics and Modeling at the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Vienna. He has also conducted research at the University of Texas at Austin, the ETH and the University of Zurich, the Weierstrass Institute in Berlin, and the Laboratoire de Mécanique et Génie Civil in Montpellier.

Since 2017 he is the speaker of the Spezialforschungsbereich  [ de ] F65 Taming Complexity in Partial Differential Systems funded by the Austrian Science Fund. [2]

Hilbert's nineteenth problem is one of the 23 Hilbert problems, set out in a list compiled in 1900 by David Hilbert. 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 precisely 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 function inherits the relatively simple and well understood structure from the solved equation. Hilbert's nineteenth problem was solved independently in the late 1950s by Ennio De Giorgi and John Forbes Nash, Jr.
