Shmuel Agmon
Shmuel Agmon , sometimes cited as Samuel Agmon, ( Hebrew שמואל אגמון; * February 2, 1922 in Tel-Aviv ) is an Israeli mathematician who studies partial differential equations and mathematical physics.
Live and act
Shmuel Agmon grew up in Nazareth , where his mother was a dentist and his father was a writer, and Jerusalem. After staying in a kibbutz , he studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem from 1940 , where he a. a. studied with Michael Fekete and Adolf Abraham Halevi Fraenkel . During the Second World War he served in the British Army for four years and then continued his studies in Paris, where he received his doctorate in 1949 at the Sorbonne under Szolem Mandelbrojt with a thesis on Dirichlet series. He was then at Rice University in Texas and from 1952 back at the Hebrew University, where he became a professor in 1959.
Agmon occupied himself a. a. with the spectral theory of Schrödinger operators and scattering theory. His work with A. Douglis and Louis Nirenberg from 1959 on estimating the solutions in boundary value problems of elliptical partial differential equations is well known.
Since 1964, Shmuel Agmon has been a member of the Israel Academy of Sciences . He won the Weizmann Prize, the Rothschild Prize and the Israel Prize . Agmon is an honorary doctorate from the University of Nantes . In 1970 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Nice ( Spectral properties of Schrödinger operators ). He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
His PhD students include Peter Constantin , Avner Friedman , Moshe Marcus, and Yakar Kannai .
