Amiram Harten (1946–1994) was an
American-
Israeli applied mathematician. Harten made fundamental contribution to the development of
high-resolution schemes for the solution of
hyperbolic partial differential equations. Among other contributions, he developed the
total variation diminishing scheme, which gives an oscillation free solution for flow with
shocks.
In 1980s, Harten along with
Björn Engquist,
Stanley Osher, and Sukumar R. Chakravarthy developed the essentially non-oscillatory (ENO) schemes. The article on ENO, titled, ''Uniformly High Order Accurate Essentially Non-oscillatory Schemes, III'' was published in
Journal of Computational Physics, in 1987
and is one of the most cited papers in the field of
scientific computing. It was republished in 1997 in the same journal. Harten is listed as an
ISI highly cited researcher.
In 1990 Harten gave a talk on "Recent developments in shock-capturing schemes" at the
International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto.
