Vladimir Grigoryevich Boltjansky

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wladimir Grigorjewitsch Boltjanski ( Russian Владимир Григорьевич Болтянский , scientific transliteration Vladimir Grigor'evič Boltjanskij; born April 26, 1925 in Moscow ; †  April 16, 2019 ) was a Russian mathematician who was interested in geometry and optimal control .

Life

Boltjanski studied mathematics at the Lomonosov University in Moscow from 1943 to 1948 (interrupted by military service in World War II) and was at the Mathematical Institute of the Soviet Academy of Sciences from 1951 . In 1955 he received his doctorate there with Lev Pontryagin (Russian doctor, corresponds to the habilitation here ). From 1959 he was a professor. Later he was a professor at the Institute for Systems Research of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. In the 1990s he taught at the CIMAT mathematics research center in Guanajuato , Mexico .

Boltjanski was known for his work on dynamic optimization and control theory (continuous and discrete processes). In it he proved u. a. the Pontryagin maximum principle for nonlinear processes. He also worked on convex geometry and Hilbert's third problem (originally solved by Max Dehn ).

He was a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Education. For his work on dynamic optimization he received the Lenin Prize with Rewas Gamqrelidze , Evgeni Mishchenko and Lev Pontryagin. In 1967 he received the Uzbek SSR Prize for his work on ordered rings.
