Manfred Denker
Manfred Denker (born June 20, 1944 in Breslau ) is a German mathematician.
Denker studied in Erlangen and at the University of Warwick and received his doctorate in 1972 from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg under Konrad Jacobs (investigations into a special class of decompositions of a compact metric space). In 1974 he completed his habilitation and became a professor at the University of Göttingen , where he was executive director of the Institute for Mathematical Stochastics and retired in 2004, and teaches at the Pennsylvania State University . In Göttingen, he played a key role in founding the Interdisciplinary Center for Statistics and in setting up the doctoral degree in Applied Statistics and Empirical Methods.
Denker deals with probability theory, stochastic processes, complex dynamics, fractal geometry, ergodic theory, nonparametric statistics and the thermodynamic formalism in the theory of dynamic systems.
