Günther Wildenhain

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Günther Wildenhain (born October 9, 1937 in Beerwalde ) is a German mathematician.

Wildenhain studied mathematics at the TU Dresden , where he received his doctorate under Gottfried Anger in 1964 ( application of spaces of continuously differentiable functions for potential theoretical considerations for some types of linear elliptic differential equations ) and completed his habilitation in 1968. Then he was at the Academy of Sciences in Berlin . In 1971 he became a lecturer and in 1973 full professor for analysis at the University of Rostock , where he became dean of the faculty of mathematics and natural sciences in 1996 and rector from 1998 to 2002. From 1991 to 1993 he was department head for science and research in the Ministry of Culture of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , where he has also been state chairman of the German University Association since 1994.

He deals with partial differential equations, potential theory and approximation theory.

In 2004 and 2005 he was President of the German Mathematicians Association , on whose Presidium he had been since 1994. In 2019 he received the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany .
