TO THE JUBILEE OF VSEVOLOD ALEKSEEVICH SOLONNIKOV

摘要

In 2003, we celebrate the 70th birthday of Vsevolod Alekseevich Solonnikov, a uniquely gifted mathematician and a world-renowed representative of the St. Petersburg mathematical school. His outstanding results on exact estimates of solutions for boundary-value and initial boundary-value problems for linear elliptic and parabolic systems, as well as for the Stokes system and its generalizations, and also on the mathematical study of hydrodynamical free boundary problems are well known in the world. Vsevolod Alekseevich was born on June 8, 1933, in Leningrad, where he lived with his mother and nanny until the World War Ⅱ. He knows nothing about his father. At that time, the family was supported by his mother's brother, who held a high position at headquarters of the Pacific Fleet. In the terrible 1937, the uncle, similarly to many military commanders, was sent to prison and died there.
