Nikolai Nikolayevich Chentsov
Nikolai Nikolaevich Tschenzow ( Russian Николай Николаевич Ченцов , other spellings also Chentsov , Chentzov , Čencov or Čentsov * 19th February 1930 in Moscow ; † 5. July 1992 ) was a Soviet / Russian mathematician who mainly with stochastics and statistics employed .
Life
Tschenzow was born on February 19, 1930 in Moscow, his parents were Ekaterina Iwanowa Tschenzowa (nee Dorofejewa) and Nikolai Garilowitsch Tschenzow. Chentsov was interested in mathematics from an early age and began studying at Lomonosov University in 1947 , taking an active part in the organization of the Mathematics Olympiads . As a student, he was also co-author of the three-volume work "Selected problems and theorems of elementary mathematics". He received his doctorate in 1958 from Eugene Dynkin on the application of stochastic processes in statistics.
The focus of his mathematical work was in the field of stochastics and statistics, whereby he also dealt with the history of mathematics and numerics. He wrote a total of 52 publications, including 8 books.
Chentsov died after a serious illness on July 5, 1992. He was buried in the Vvedenskoye cemetery .
plant
Tschenzow is best known for a generalization of a statement by Andrei Kolmogorow about the continuity of paths of stochastic processes , which is now also known as Kolmogorov-Chenzow's theorem. He also did important work on generalizing Brownian motion to higher dimensional index sets.
