Vera Kublanovskaya

Vera Nikolaevna Kublanowskaja ( born Totubalina, Russian Вера Николаевна Кублановская, English transcription Vera Nikolaevna Kublanovskaya; born November 21, 1920 in Krokino at Belozersk; † 21 February 2012) was a Russian mathematician. It developed in 1961 independently by John GF Francis the QR algorithm for the determination of eigenvalues.

Kublanowskaja was one of nine children of a farming family. She attended a course for primary school teachers and was admitted due to their excellent grades in the Pedagogical Institute Gertzen in Leningrad, where it struck the spruce there teaching mathematics professors Dmitri Konstantinovich Faddejew and Gregory Mikhailovich because of their mathematical talent. During the Second World War she returned to Krokino because her mother was ill. She was a teacher there and gave political lessons as Politruk. From 1945 she studied with a recommendation of Faddejew mathematics at Leningrad State University and was from 1948 at the Steklov Institute in Leningrad, where it remained for the rest of their career. There she first occupied himself until 1955 under the leadership of Leonid Kantorovich with secret numerical calculations for nuclear reactors. The work meant that she could not travel abroad for a long time. In addition to their secret research she wrote her dissertation and in 1955 received his doctorate ( The application of analytic continuation in numerical methods of analysis ). She also married and had two sons. From 1955 it was part of a group led by Wera Faddejewa that implemented a new computer language Prorab what they wrote especially algorithms for linear algebra. In this work, they also developed the QR algorithm ( called in Russian literature method of unilateral rotation ) and many other algorithms in numerical linear algebra. In 1972 she qualified as a professor (Russian PhD ) with the work The use of orthogonal transforms to solve problems in algebra.
