Lucjan Emil Böttcher
Lucjan Emil Böttcher (born January 7, 1872 in Warsaw ; † May 29, 1937 in Lemberg ) was a Polish mathematician , after whom Böttcher's functional equation, which is particularly important in complex dynamics , is named.
Böttcher studied in Warsaw, Lemberg and Leipzig . In Leipzig he received his doctorate in 1898 under Sophus Lie and Adolph Mayer with the dissertation Contributions to the theory of iterative calculation. Then he was at the Polytechnic University in Lemberg , first as an assistant, then from 1910 as an adjunct . Böttcher wrote about 20 mathematical papers, most of which - like the dissertation - dealt with questions of iteration theory. He also wrote some textbooks. He was retired on August 31, 1935.
He was married and had four children.
