Jean Mawhin
Jean L. Mawhin (born December 11, 1942 in Verviers ) is a Belgian mathematician and mathematician.
Mawhin received his doctorate in 1969 under Paul Ledoux at the University of Liège ( Le probleme des solutions periodiques en mecanique non lineaire ), where he studied since 1962 and obtained his degree in mathematics in 1964. From 1964 he was an assistant in Liège and from 1969 to 1973 Maitre de conferences (lecturer). From 1970 he was assistant professor (Chargé de cours) and from 1974 professor of mathematics at the Catholic University of Leuven (with full professorship from 1977). In 2008 he retired.
He was visiting professor at various US and Canadian universities (University of Michigan, Brown University, University of Utah, Colorando State University, University of Alberta, Center de Recherches Mathématiques in Montreal, Rutgers University), at the University of Paris, in Strasbourg, Rome, Turin, Trieste, Brisbane, Graz, Brazil, Florence, Darmstadt, Karlsruhe and Würzburg.
He dealt with (nonlinear) ordinary differential equations and applied topological methods ( fixed point theorems , Leray-Schauder theory ) and methods of nonlinear functional analysis. As a mathematician, he dealt with Henri Poincaré , among others .
He received the Bolzano Medal of the Czech Academy of Sciences. In 2012 he received the first Juliusz Schauder Prize.
In 1986 he became a corresponding and in 1992 full member of the Académie royale des Sciences, des Lettres et des Beaux-Arts de Belgique , of which he was president in 2002 and director of the science class. In 1992 he became an honorary member of the Institut Grand-Ducal.
He has been married since 1966 and has three children.
