Robert Strichartz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Stephen Strichartz (born October 14, 1943 in New York City ) is an American mathematician who deals with analysis .

Strichartz received his doctorate under Elias Stein at Princeton University in 1966 ( Multipliers on generalized Sobolev spaces ). In 1967 he was a Moore Instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . He is a professor at Cornell University .

Strichartz deals with harmonic analysis (including wavelets and analysis on Lie groups ), partial differential equations and analysis on fractals . Strichartz estimates are named after him from his application of harmonic analysis to linear wave equations (later transferred to non-linear wave equations by Terence Tao and others). Later he dealt with analysis on fractals, building on the work of Jun Kigami on the construction of a Laplace operator on fractals like the Sierpinski sponge.

In 1983 he received the Lester Randolph Ford Award for Radon inversion - variations on a theme (American Mathematical Monthly, Volume 89, 1982, pp. 377-384, 420-423). He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
