from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vyacheslav Ivanovich Lebedev ( Russian Вячеслав Иванович Лебедев , English transcription Vyacheslav Ivanovich Lebedev ; born January 27, 1930 in Kostroma ; † March 22, 2010 in Moscow ), was a Russian mathematician who dealt with numerical mathematics .

Vyacheslav Ivanovich Lebedev

Lebedev studied from 1949 at the Lomonossow University , where he received his doctorate in 1957 under Sergei Lwowitsch Sobolew ( finite difference method for a system of equations ). He worked at the Kurchatov Institute from 1957 , completed his habilitation in 1967 ( Russian doctorate ) and taught from 1969 at the Moscow Institute for Physics and Technology (from 1973 as a professor) and at Lomonossow University.

He worked in many areas of numerical mathematics, such as numerical solution of rigid systems of differential equations, approximation with polynomials, numerics of surface integrals on the sphere (Lebedev quadrature), domain decomposition for finite difference methods and iterative solvers on parallel computers and was also involved in the numerical modeling of nuclear reactors involved, which later led to travel restrictions.

He received the Soviet State Prize (1987), the Kurchatov Prize (1984 and 2000) and the Chebyshev Gold Medal of the Russian Academy of Sciences (2002).
