Heinz-Jürgen Voss (mathematician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz-Jürgen Voss (born February 10, 1938 in Bitterfeld ; † September 7, 2003 in Berlin ) was a German mathematician , professor of algebra , especially for graph theory . Since 1983 he has taught in Dresden , since 1992 as professor for graph theory / classical algebra at the Institute for Algebra at the Mathematical Faculty of the TU Dresden .

Professional background

In 1956 Voss passed the Abitur at the secondary school in Bitterfeld and completed a degree in mathematics at the TH Dresden , which he completed in 1962 as a graduate mathematician (diploma thesis: "Extension of the Ritz-Galerkin method to systems of differential equations", with Helmut Heinrich, TH Dresden). From 1962 (until 1979) he was assistant at the TH Ilmenau , finally senior assistant. In 1966 he obtained his doctorate as Dr. rer. nat. (Dissertation: “About the waist size in graphs that contain exactly k node-independent circles, and about the number of nodes that represent all circles in such graphs”, predicate: summa cum laude, from Horst Sachs, TH Ilmenau, first reviewer). In 1969/70 Voss completed additional studies at the Humboldt University in Berlin , in 1972 he completed his habilitation at the TH Ilmenau (Dr.sc.nat .; 1991: conversion to Dr. rer. Nat. Habil.) And obtained a Facultas Docendi for the field of mathematics (dissertation B / habilitation thesis: "About properties of graphs that contain a given number of independent circles or the circles have a prescribed length", from Horst Sachs, TH Ilmenau, first reviewer). 1979/80 he was visiting professor at the University of Chisinau / USSR . In 1979 he was a lecturer in mathematical methods of surgical research at the TH Ilmenau. In 1983 Voss was offered a professorship for algebra at the University of Education "Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Wander" Dresden (PHD). From 1992 to 2003 he was Professor of Graph Theory / Classical Algebra at the Institute for Algebra at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at TU Dresden .

family

Voss was married to Waltraud Voss (born Leuteritz in 1944), with whom he had three sons (Hartmut, Horst-Hermann and Heinz-Jürgen ).
