Revaz Gamkrelidze
Revaz Gamqrelidse (Georgian რევაზ გამყრელიძე, Russian Реваз Валерьянович Гамкрелидзе, Revaz Walerianowitsch Gamkrelidze, English transcription: Revaz Gamkrelidze, born February 4, 1927 in Kutaisi in Georgia ), is a living in Russia Georgian mathematician.
Gamqrelidse studied 1945/46, at the State University in Tbilisi and from 1946 at the Moscow State University, where he was a student of Lev Pontryagin and initially dealt with topology and algebraic geometry. In 1953 he received his doctorate ( candidate titles) and his habilitation in 1961 (Russian doctorate ). Since 1953 he is at the Steklov Institute in Moscow, where he became head of the Department of Differential Equations and Control Theory in 1988 to 1998. In 1966 he became a professor.
With Pontryagin he developed from 1955 onwards the optimal control theory ( discovery of the maximum principle ). Your book about it was awarded the 1962 Lenin Prize. The theory arose from the mathematical treatment of the optimal trajectories of aircraft and missiles.
He is the founding editor of the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Sciences ( Springer Verlag).
Gamqredlidse is since 1969 a member of the Georgian Academy of Sciences and is a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences ( corresponding member since 1981, and since 2003 a full member ). In 1980 he was awarded the A. Razmadze price of the Georgian Academy of Sciences. In 1970 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Nice ( Conditions knapsacks you premier ordre dans le problemes d' extremum, with GL Kharatishvili ).
He is the brother of Tamas Gamqrelidse.
