Ivan Petrovsky

Ivan Petrovsky

Ivan Georgievich Petrovsky, also Petrovskii ( _ru. Иван Георгиевич Петровский) (January 18, 1901, Sevsk – January 15, 1973, Moscow) was a Russian mathematician in the field of partial differential equations, and studied Petrovsky lacunas. He greatly contributed to solution of Hilbert's 19-th and 16th problems. He also worked on the boundary value problem, probability, and topology of algebraic curves and surfaces.

Petrovsky was a student of Dmitri Egorov. Among his students were Olga Ladyzhenskaya, Yevgeniy Landis and Olga Oleinik.

Petrovsky was a member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences since 1946 and was awarded Hero of Socialist Labor in 1969. He was the president of Moscow State University (1951 — 1973) and the head of the International Congress of Mathematicians (Moscow, 1966).
