English translation of Russian book compiled to honor the memory of Ilya Mikhailovich Kapchinsky - To the 90th Birthday Collection of Memories. The idea for this publication belongs to Nikolai Vladimirovich Lazarev, a close collaborator of…
This is a biographical sketch and tribute to Abraham Robinson (1918-1974) on the 95th anniversary of his birth with a short discussion of the place of nonstandard analysis in the present-day mathematics.
The following is a compilation of some techniques in Alexandrov's geometry which are directly connected to convexity.
This is an expanded version of the Maskit memorial tribute that appeared in the August 2025 issue of the Notices of the AMS.
Professor Alan Selman has been a giant in the field of computational complexity for the past forty years. This article is an appreciation, on the occasion of his retirement, of some of the most lovely concepts and results that Alan has…
This article is a multiauthored portrait of Edsger Wybe Dijkstra that consists of testimonials written by several friends, colleagues, and students of his. It provides unique insights into his personality, working style and habits, and his…
We find universal spaces for Alexandroff and finite spaces and explore some of its topological properties as well as their description as inverse limits of finite spaces and Alexandroff extensions. They can be used as a natural environment…
The purpose of this expository article is to revisit the notions of amenability and ergodicity, and to point out that they appear for topological groups that are not necessarily locally compact in articles by Bogolyubov (1939), Fomin…
This is a brief overview of researches of Dmitry Petrovich Zhelobenko (1934--2006). He is the best known for his book "Compact Lie groups and their representations" and for the classification of all irreducible representations of complex…
A brief overview of publications in approximation theory of functions known to the author and connected with scientific publications by V.~K.~Dzyadyk (1919--1998).
Discussion of ``The William Kruskal Legacy: 1919--2005'' by Stephen E. Fienberg, Stephen M. Stigler and Judith M. Tanur [arXiv:0710.5063]
We present an accurate detailed exposition of the proof of existence of the Alexander-Conway polynomial (of links in 3-dimensional space). Other proofs were given by J. Alexander, J. Conway, V. Mantourov and L. Kauffman.
We survey briefly the life and work of P. L. Chebyshev, and his ongoing influence. We discuss his contributions to probability, number theory and mechanics, his pupils and mathematical descendants, and his role as the founding father of…
Uraltev has given us a deeper understanding of the forces underlying the data from beauty and charm hadrons for the last 35 years and neutron EDM in the future -- in particular about non-perturbative QCD. At the Workshop in the November…
This essay offers a brief biography of Paul Erd\H{o}s and summarizes his approach to mathematics. This is further elucidated by a discussion of Erd\H{o}s' simple proof of Bertrand's Postulate.
In November 2014 Alexander Grothendieck passed away at the age of 86. There is no doubt that he was one of the greatest and most innovative mathematicians of the 20th century. After a bitter childhood, his meteoric ascent started in the…
The purpose of this text is twofold. First we discuss some divisor problems involving Paul Erd\H os (1913-1996), whose centenary of birth is this year. In the second part some recent results on divisor problems are discussed, and their…
An obituary of J.R. Dorfman. The focus is on his scientific career and on his many important publications.
A memorial to Prof. Hidekuni Hidekoshi, Kyoto University, Japan - an accelerator pioneer in Japan, teacher, mentor, friend, unassuming but knowing his accomplishments and worth, frugal but generous, enjoying life. Japanese contributions…
This paper was written as a tribute to Mario Petrich, a major figure in the history of semigroup theory. Publication is posthumous in view of his recent death.
