Witold Lwowitsch Schmulian ( Russian Витольд Львович Шмульян , in another transliteration also Šmulian; born August 29, 1914 , † 1944 in Praga (Warsaw) ) was a Russian mathematician .

Schmulian scored 1936 his first degree in mathematics at the State University of Odessa and continued his studies with Mark Kerin continue the his interest in functional analysis , especially for the geometry in Banach spaces aroused. In the period from 1937 to 1941 he published 20 papers.

Schmulian then entered military service, but continued his research as far as possible and communicated his results and articles in letters to the Steklow Institute . Andrei Nikolajewitsch Kolmogorov prepared the printing of his last work when Shmulian was no longer alive. Schmulian died in Praga in 1944, a few days before his thirtieth birthday , where he was buried.

The Eberlein-Šmulian Theorem and the Kerin-Šmulian Theorem are associated with his name.
