Yurii Egorov


Yurii 'Vladimirovich Egorov' was a Russian-Soviet mathematician who specialised in differential equations.

Life and career

In 1960 he completed his undergraduate studies at the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of Moscow State University. In 1963 from MSU he received his Ph.D. with the thesis "Некоторые задачи теории оптимального управления в бесконечномерных пространствах". In 1970 from MSU he received his Russian doctorate of sciences with thesis: "О локальных свойствах псевдодифференциальных операторов главного типа". He was employed at MSU from 1961 to 1992, and he was a full professor in the Department of Differential Equations of the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty there from 1973 to 1992. Since 1992 he has been a professor of mathematics at Paul Sabatier University.
Egorov's research deals with differential equations and applications in mathematical physics, spectral theory, and optimal control theory. In 1970 he was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in Nice.
Egorov died in Toulouse, France on 6 October 2018, at the age of 80.
