Roy Lee Adler (born February 22, 1931 in Newark , New Jersey , † July 26, 2016 in Chappaqua , New York ) was an American mathematician.

Adler received his PhD from Yale University in 1961 with Shizuo Kakutani ( On some algebraic aspects of measure preserving transformations ). He was a mathematician at IBM at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center .

Adler dealt with dynamic systems, ergodic theory , symbolic and topological dynamics and coding theory.

He, LW Goodwyn and Benjamin Weiss wrote the street coloring problem that Avraham Trakhtman solved in 2007.

He was a fellow of the American Mathematical Society . In 1998 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .
