Edit Profile
also known as
Naum Ilyich Akhiezer
Naum Akhiezer was a Soviet mathematician of Jewish origin, known for his works in approximation theory and the theory of differential and integral operators. Professor 1940; Doctor of Physico-Mathematical Science since 1936; corresponding member, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, since 1934; Professor, Kharkov University, since 1947. Chebyshev Prize of the USSR Academy of Science.
Education
1924 graduated Kiev Institute of Higher Educ.
Career
Akhiezer obtained important results in approximation theory (in particular, on extremal problems, constructive function theory, and the problem of moments), where he masterly applied the methods of the geometric theory of functions of a complex variable (especially, conformal mappings and the theory of Riemann surfaces) and of functional analysis. He found the fundamental connection between the inverse problem for important classes of differential and finite difference operators of the second order with a finite number of gaps in the spectrum, and the Jacobi inversion problem for Abelian integrals. This connection led to explicit solutions of the inverse problem for the so-called finite-gap operators.
1928-1933 at Kiev University. 1933-1941 at Kharkov University. 1941-1943 at Alma-Ata Mining Institute.
1943-1947 at Moscow Power Engineering Institute. Specialist in the theory of best approximations.
