Nina Nikolayevna Uraltseva

Nina Nikolajewna Uralzewa ( Russian: Нина Николаевна Уральцева , English transcription Nina Nikolaevna Ural'tseva; born May 24, 1934 in Leningrad ) is a Russian mathematician who deals with partial differential equations .

Uraltseva attended the Leningrad State University , where she graduated in physics in 1956. In 1960 she received her doctorate there under Olga Ladyschenskaja in mathematics ( regularity of solutions to multidimensional elliptical equations and variation problems ) and in 1964 she completed her habilitation (Russian doctorate). In 1966 she received a full professorship there and from 1977 she was head of the Department of Partial Differential Equations and Mathematical Physics.

Uraltseva is one of the leading Russian scientists in the field of partial differential equations, about which she and her teacher Ladyschenskaya wrote two research monographs, which have also been translated into English and French.

She received the Chebyshev Prize of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and the State Prize of the USSR . In 2006 she received the Humboldt Research Award and in the same year she received an honorary doctorate from the Royal Technical University of Stockholm . In 1970 she was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Nice ( On the non uniformly quasilinear elliptic equations ) and in 1986 in Berkeley ( Estimates of derivatives of solutions of elliptic and parabolic equations ).
