Olga Aleksandrovna Ladyzhenskaya (Russian: Ольга Александровна Ладыженская, IPA: [ˈolʲɡə ɐlʲɪˈksandrəvnə ɫɐˈdɨʐɨnskəɪ̯ə] ⓘ; 7 March 1922 – 12 January 2004) was a Russian mathematician who worked on partial differential equations, fluid dynamics, and the finite-difference method for the Navier–Stokes equations.
The original such inequality, for functions of two real variables, was introduced by Ladyzhenskaya in 1958 to prove the existence and uniqueness of long-time solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations in two spatial dimensions (for smooth enough initial data). There is an analogous inequality for functions of three real variables, but the ...
Google honored Olga Ladyzhenskaya on what would have been her 97th birthday. Her work impacted fields from weather forecasting to cardiovascular science.
She earned a Ph.D. in 1960 from the same university, under the supervision of Olga Ladyzhenskaya, [4] [5] and completed her D.Sc. (the Soviet equivalent of a habilitation) in 1964. [4] She joined the faculty of Leningrad State University in 1959, and was promoted to professor in 1968 and department head in 1974. [1]
Olga Ladyzhenskaya provided the first rigorous proofs of the convergence of a finite difference method for the Navier–Stokes equations. Ladyzhenskaya was on the shortlist for potential recipients for the 1958 Fields Medal, [63] ultimately awarded to Klaus Roth and René Thom. [64] Braid groups are linear
This is a list of International Congresses of Mathematicians Plenary and Invited Speakers.Being invited to talk at an International Congress of Mathematicians has been called "the equivalent, in this community, of an induction to a hall of fame."
The Noether Lecture is a distinguished lecture series that honors women "who have made fundamental and sustained contributions to the mathematical sciences". The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) established the annual lectures in 1980 as the Emmy Noether Lectures, in honor of one of the leading mathematicians of her time.
Among his students were Olga Ladyzhenskaya, Evgenii Landis, Olga Oleinik and Sergei Godunov. Petrovsky taught at Steklov Institute of Mathematics. He was a member of the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union since 1946 and was awarded Hero of Socialist Labour in 1969.
