Sergio Spagnolo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sergio Spagnolo (* 1941 in Spezia ) is an Italian mathematician who deals with analysis. He is a professor at the University of Pisa .

He is a student of Aldo Andreotti at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa and has taught at the University of Pisa since 1974 and at the Scuola Normale Superiore until 2002.

He dealt with the asymptotics of elliptic partial differential equations, the Cauchy problem for hyperbolic partial differential equations, nonlinear evolution equations and systems with many characteristics.

With Ennio de Giorgi and Ferruccio Colombini , in 1978/79 he showed the existence of solutions for hyperbolic partial differential equations with analytic coefficients and gave an example of the non-existence of a solution for non-analytic coefficients.

He received the Bartolozzi Prize and in 1991 the Mathematics Prize of the Accademia dei XL . He is a corresponding member of the Accademia dei Lincei (1998).

Piero D'Ancona is one of his doctoral students , with whom he also published.
