The year 2017 marked the 130th anniversary of the prominent Russian mathematician Vladimir Ivanovich Smirnov. We review some aspects of his life and his mathematical accomplishments.
This article is dedicated to the centenary of the birth of Aleksandr D. Alexandrov (1912-1999). His functional-analytical approach to the solving of the Minkowski problem is examined and applied to the extremal problems of isoperimetric…
The Steklov eigenvalue problem, first introduced over 125 years ago, has seen a surge of interest in the past few decades. This article is a tour of some of the recent developments linking the Steklov eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of…
We obtain the sharp estimates on the growth of the uniform norm of orthonormal polynomials for measures satisfying the Steklov condition. This improves the earlier results by Rakhmanov and completely settles a problem by Steklov. The sharp…
We give a survey of classical and recent results on sharp constants and symmetry/asymmetry of extremal functions in $1$-dimensional functional inequalities.
This is a short overview of the influence of mathematicians and their ideas on the creative contribution of Mikhailo Lomonosov on the occasion of the tercentenary of his birth.

The Steklov problem is an eigenvalue problem with the spectral parameter in the boundary conditions, which has various applications. Its spectrum coincides with that of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator. Over the past years, there has been…
The review presents rigorous results of the theory of fundamental equations of evolution of many-particle systems with collisions and also considers their connection with nonlinear kinetic equations describing the collective behavior of…
Ya.B. Zeldovich was a pre-eminent Soviet physicist whose seminal contributions spanned many fields ranging from physical chemistry to nuclear and particle physics, and finally astrophysics and cosmology. March 8, 2014 marks Zeldovich's…
The conjecture by Steklov was solved negatively by Rakhmanov in 1979. His original proof was based on the formula for orthogonal polynomial obtained by adding point masses to the measure of orthogonality. In this note, we show how this…

First we establish a weighted Reilly formula for differential forms on a smooth compact oriented Riemannian manifold with boundary. Then we give two applications of this formula when the manifold satisfies certain geometric conditions. One…
Obtaining explicit stability estimates in classical functional inequalities like the Sobolev inequality has been an essentially open question for 30 years, after the celebrated but non-constructive result of G. Bianchi and H. Egnell in…
