Brandev

Anatoli Pawlowitsch Markeev , Russian Анатолий Павлович Маркеев , English transcription Markeev, (born May 17, 1942 in Novaya Slobodka , Kursk Oblast ) is a Soviet mathematician and mechanics expert.

Life

Markeev grew up in harsh conditions in the countryside. His home village was temporarily occupied by the Germans and there were also periods of famine afterwards. He studied from 1960 at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) and received his doctorate in 1969 with a dissertation on celestial mechanics. He was working on space problems at the time. In 1975 he completed his habilitation (Russian doctorate) and became a professor at the Aviation Institute in Moscow (MAI), initially for algebra and function theory and a year and a half later for theoretical mechanics. In 1987 he became a senior scientist at the Institute for Problems in Mechanics of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. From 2009 he taught at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

Among other things, he examined the stability of a top in an orbit (which he published about in the 1960s) and the stability of Lagrange points , the movement of rolling rigid bodies and extended flexible space stations. He also examined the stability of various gyroscopic problems (such as the Grioli case).

In 2013 he received the Lyapunov Prize . A minor planet was named after him in 1992. In 1994 he received the State Prize of the Russian Federation.
