Helmut Thiele (born June 20, 1926 in Saratoga ; † January 10, 2003 in Cologne ) was a German mathematician who worked in the fields of mathematical logic and the fundamentals of mathematics, the theory of automata and algorithms, the syntax and semantics of formal languages, the information theory, the recognition and complexity theory as well as the fuzzy logic ( fuzzy logic ) worked. He achieved fundamental results in the border area between mathematics and computer science. He was a student of Karl Schröter (1905–1977).

Life

After more than ten years as an assistant and lecturer at the Institute for Mathematical Logic at the Humboldt University in Berlin , Helmut Thiele was appointed to a professorship at the Institute for Mathematics at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena in 1964. From 1968 to 1991 he was Professor of Mathematical Logic and Theoretical Computer Science in the Mathematics Department at the Humboldt University in Berlin. During this period he accepted several invitations to professorships at foreign universities. In 1971 he became a corresponding and in 1978 a full member of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR . In 1973 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .

From 1991 until his death he worked at the University of Dortmund. Here he primarily devoted himself to the applications of mathematical logic in computer science and in research on the further development of fuzzy logic, most recently in the special research area Computational Intelligence .
