Abel Prize 2017 for Yves Meyer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Yves Francois Meyer was born July 19th, 1939 in Paris, but he grew up in Tunisia. After his studies at the École Normale Supérieure he was a teacher for three years at the school Prytanée Militaire in La Flèche (Loire Valley) and obtained a position in Strasbourg afterwards. During this period he prepared his PhD which he presented in 1966. Formally Jean-Pierre Kahane was his advisor, but he considers himself a ”self-made man”. From that time on he spentF all of his active time in Paris at different schools, such as Université Paris-Sud, École Polytechnique, Université Paris-Dauphine and École Normale Supérieure de Cachan. His extensive work has many facets, covering number theory ([38]), harmonic analysis, quasi-crystals, operator theory and of course wavelets, as is nicely described in the article [11] by Ingrid Daubechies, We will focus in our presentation on the last two topics, because they have been the reason for awarding him the Abel Prize 2017. The interview with Yves Meyer published in the EMS Newsletter ([15]) also reveals some interesting background on his personal views on his development as a mathematician, some of his private interests (e.g. in literature) and the achievements which have been important to himself. I will also add some personal comments to this story, because I had the good luck of meeting Yves Meyer as well as Alex Grossmann in Marseille around the critical period, just after the “discovery of orthonormal wavelets”, under the French name of “ondelettes”, allowing me to present some (hopefully interesting) background information.

1. Background If ever there was a collection of articles that needed no introduction, this is it. Undaunted, I shall fulfill my charge as introducer by describing some of the intellectual background of wavelet theory and relating this background to the articles in this volume and to their expert introductions by Jelena Kovačević, Jean-Pierre Antoine, Hans Feichtinger, Yves Meyer, Guido Weiss, a...
متن کاملBook Reviews Holden and Piene (eds)
Reviewer: Ulf Persson This is the sequel to the first book on the Abel Prize winners, which covered the first five years and which was reviewed for the EMS a couple of years ago. The format of this book is the same but this time, even more ambitiously, the editors have produced a tome that dwarfs the preceding one in bulk. One wonders whether this will set a trend. The basic elements consist of...
متن کاملSome new families of definite polynomials and the composition conjectures
The planar polynomial vector fields with a center at the origin can be written as an scalar differential equation, for example Abel equation. If the coefficients of an Abel equation satisfy the composition condition, then the Abel equation has a center at the origin. Also the composition condition is sufficient for vanishing the first order moments of the coefficients. The composition conjectur...
