Ami Harten
Amiram "Ami" Harten (* 1946 ; † August 5, 1994 ) was an Israeli mathematician who dealt with numerics of partial differential equations .
Harten received his PhD from New York University in 1974 with Peter Lax ( The Method of Artificial Compression for Shock and Contact Discontinuity Calculation ). He was a professor at Tel Aviv University and also at the University of California, Los Angeles . Since 1976 he was also every year as a visiting scientist at ICASE (Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering) at the Langley Research Center NASA . He died of a heart attack.
In 1983 he developed the total variation diminishing (TVD) method for the oscillation-free solution of flow problems with shock waves. With Stanley Osher , Björn Engquist , Sukumar Chakravarthy, he developed ENO (Essentially Non Oscillatory) methods for the numerical solution of hyperbolic conservation laws in 1987.
He was invited speaker at the 1990 International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto ( Recent developments in shock capturing schemes ).
