Shmuel Friedland
Shmuel Friedland (born 1944 in Tashkent, Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic) is an Israeli-American mathematician. Friedland studied at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, graduating in 1967 with bachelor's degree and in 1971 with doctorate of science under the supervision of Binjamin Schwarz. As a postdoc Friedland was in 1972/73 at the Weizmann Institute, in 1973/74 at Stanford University, and in 1974/75 at the Institute for Advanced Study. Then he taught at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he became in 1982 a full professor. In 1985 he became a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Besides linear algebra (matrix theory), Friedland does research on a wide variety of mathematics, including complex dynamics and applied mathematics. With Elizabeth Gross, he proved a set-theoretic version of the ''salmon conjecture'' posed by Elizabeth S. Allman. With Miroslav Fiedler and Israel Gohberg, Friedland shared in the first Hans Schneider Prize, awarded ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tashkent
Tashkent (, uz, Toshkent, Тошкент/, ) (from russian: Ташкент), or Toshkent (; ), also historically known as Chach is the capital and largest city of Uzbekistan. It is the most populous city in Central Asia, with a population of 2,909,500 (2022). It is in northeastern Uzbekistan, near the border with Kazakhstan. Tashkent comes from the Turkic ''tash'' and ''kent'', literally translated as "Stone City" or "City of Stones". Before Islamic influence started in the mid-8th century AD, Tashkent was influenced by the Sogdian and Turkic cultures. After Genghis Khan destroyed it in 1219, it was rebuilt and profited from the Silk Road. From the 18th to the 19th century, the city became an independent city-state, before being re-conquered by the Khanate of Kokand. In 1865, Tashkent fell to the Russian Empire; it became the capital of Russian Turkestan. In Soviet times, it witnessed major growth and demographic changes due to forced deportations from throughout the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
International Linear Algebra Society
The International Linear Algebra Society (ILAS) is a professional mathematical society organized to promote research and education in linear algebra, matrix theory and matrix computation. It serves the international community through conferences, publications, prizes and lectures. Membership in ILAS is open to all mathematicians and scientists interested in furthering its aims and participating in its activities. History ILAS was founded in 1989. Its genesis occurred at the Combinatorial Matrix Analysis Conference held at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada, May 20–23, 1987, hosted by Dale Olesky and Pauline van den Driessche. ILAS was initially known as the International Matrix Group, founded in 1987. The founding officers of ILAS were Hans Schneider, President; Robert C. Thompson, Vice President; Daniel Hershkowitz, Secretary; and James R. Weaver, Treasurer. ILAS Conferences The inaugural meeting of ILAS took place at Brigham Young University (includin ...

Grothendieck Inequality
In mathematics, the Grothendieck inequality states that there is a universal constant K_G with the following property. If ''M''''ij'' is an ''n'' × ''n'' ( real or complex) matrix with : \Big, \sum_ M_ s_i t_j \Big, \le 1 for all (real or complex) numbers ''s''''i'', ''t''''j'' of absolute value at most 1, then : \Big, \sum_ M_ \langle S_i, T_j \rangle \Big, \le K_G for all vectors ''S''''i'', ''T''''j'' in the unit ball ''B''(''H'') of a (real or complex) Hilbert space ''H'', the constant K_G being independent of ''n''. For a fixed Hilbert space of dimension ''d'', the smallest constant that satisfies this property for all ''n'' × ''n'' matrices is called a Grothendieck constant and denoted K_G(d). In fact, there are two Grothendieck constants, K_G^(d) and K_G^(d), depending on whether one works with real or complex numbers, respectively. The Grothendieck inequality and Grothendieck constants are named after Alexander Grothendieck, who proved the exis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Advances In Mathematics
''Advances in Mathematics'' is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on pure mathematics. It was established in 1961 by Gian-Carlo Rota. The journal publishes 18 issues each year, in three volumes. At the origin, the journal aimed at publishing articles addressed to a broader "mathematical community", and not only to mathematicians in the author's field. Herbert Busemann writes, in the preface of the first issue, "The need for expository articles addressing either all mathematicians or only those in somewhat related fields has long been felt, but little has been done outside of the USSR. The serial publication ''Advances in Mathematics'' was created in response to this demand."

Walter Hayman
Walter Kurt Hayman FRS (6 January 1926 – 1 January 2020) was a British mathematician known for contributions to complex analysis. He was a professor at Imperial College London. Life and work Hayman was born in Cologne, Germany, the son of Roman law professor Franz Haymann (1874-1947) and Ruth Therese Hensel, daughter of mathematician Kurt Hensel. He was a great-grandson of acclaimed composer Fanny Mendelssohn. Because of his Jewish heritage, he left Germany, then under Nazi rule, alone by train in 1938. He continued his schooling at Gordonstoun School, and later at St John's College, Cambridge under John Edensor Littlewood and his doctoral advisor Mary Cartwright. He taught at King's College, Newcastle, and the University of Exeter. In 1947, he married Margaret Riley Crann: together, they founded the British Mathematical Olympiad. He is known for his asymptotic results in Bieberbach conjecture in 1955, and for Hayman's alternatives in Nevanlinna Theory. His wo ...
