He dealt in particular with Padé approximation (especially the connection between the convergence of the Padé approximation and analytical properties of the function to be approximated), asymptotic properties of orthogonal polynomials (using potential theory).
He was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berkeley in 1986 (Rational Approximation of Analytical Functions). In 1974 he became a corresponding and in 1987 full member of the Russian Academy of Sciences . From 1991 to 1998 he was its vice-president. In 1993 he was awarded the Keldysch gold medal.
