A Guide to the Russian Academy of Sciences - University of Texas ...

Since October 1986 IMM has been headed by Academician Iurii S. Osipov. In December
1991 Iurii S. Osipov was elected President of the Acad. Sci. of Russia.
Since December 1993 Academician A. F. Sidorov became the Director of the Institute, who
is the present Director.
Due to the reorganization of the Urals Scientific Center in February 1987 IMM was
included into the Urals Branch of the USSR Acad. Sci., and December 1991,
because of the organization of the Acad. Sci. of Russia, the Institute was
incorporated in the Urals Branch of the Acad. Sci. of Russia.
Within 30 years at the Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics acknowledged scientific
schools have been formed on a number of important directions of modern and
classic mathematics: mathematical theory of control processes, analytical and
numerical methods of continuum mechanics, the theory of ill-posed problems and
generalized functions, the theory of approximation of functions and operators,
methods of convex optimization and pattern recognition, in the field of modern
algebra and topology.
The traditions established in the sphere of mathematical research resulted in awarding Lenin
Prizes in 1966, to Corresponding Member V. K. Ivanov together with Academician
A. N. Tikhonov for the elaboration of the theory and methods of solution of illposed
problems; in 1976, to Academicians N. N. Krasovskiy, A. B. Kurzhanskiy,
Iurii S. Osipov, Corresponding Member A. I. Subbotin for a cycle of investigation
in the mathematical theory of control problems.
On staff at the Institute there are 172 research associates, including 4 Academicians of the
Acad. Sci. of Russia, 3 Corresponding Members of the Acad. Sci. of Russia, 23
D. Sc., 77 Ph. D.'s (date of January 1, 1992). The Institute incorporates the
following departments and laboratories:
