  1. INSTITUTE OF NUMERICAL MATHEMATICS: 30 YEARS Academician Guri Marchuk

  2. Origins • Computer Center, Novosibirsk, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences • January, 1980: Decision by the Central Committee of CPSU on moving from Novosibirsk Academgorodok to Moscow • My request: Establish a department of Academy in Moscow with a staff consisting of: • 20 of my disciples invited from Novosibirsk (V.P.Dymnikov, Yu.A.Kuznetsov, and V.I.Agoshkov arrived the first; G.R.Kontarev, L.N.Belykh, V.B.Zalesny, V.P.Shutyaev, S.M.Zuev, V.Ya.Galin, A.A.Romanyukha, A.K.Lavrova, and A.E.Aloyan arrived slightly later) • Researchers from Moscow (A.S.Sarkisyan, V.V.Voevodin, N.S.Bakhvalov, E.E.Tyrtyshnikov, I.B.Pogozhev, V.I.Lebedev)

  3. Origins • First location: Building of the State Committee for Science and Technology • Second location: Former cottage of D.Gvishiani (near Kropotkinskaya metro station) • May 29, 1980: Order #452 of the Presidium, USSR Academy of Sciences “On the Foundation of the Department of Numerical Mathematics of the USSR Academy of Sciences”

  4. Education and Research • Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology: Agreement with O.M.Belotserkovski and V.P.Elyutin to establish a chair of mathematical modeling of physical processes. The first course involved 7 students • Main Research Fields:Physics of atmosphere and oceanImmunologyComputational mathematics • International Collaboration:Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences (USA)L'Institut national de recherche en informatique et en automatique (France) Jacques-Louis Lionsand his disciples

  5. Organization • 1986: Election of Guri Marchuk as the President of the USSR Academy of Sciences • 1991: The Department of Numerical Mathematics turned into Institute of Numerical Mathematics • Novel research structure: Projects, rather than laboratories and departments • Annual rotation of deputy directors: Voevodin, Dymnikov, Sarkisyan, Zalesny, Lykossov, and Romanyukha • New researchers: A.N.Filatov, G.M.Kobelkov (Moscow State University), and I.K.Lifanov (Zhukovski Aviation Engineering Academy)

  6. Perestroyka and Science • Advisers • Age limitation • Elective system • Change of the statute of the USSR Academy of Sciences • A.K.Lavrova as scientific secretary of INM RAS at that time

  7. Research Projects • Matrices and tensors. Computational processes E.E.Tyrtyshnikov • Iterative processes and Chebyshev polynomials V.I.Lebedev • Parallel computing on supercomputersV.V.Voevodin • Adjoint equations and variational optimization of nonlinear problemsG.I.Marchuk, V.I.Agoshkov, V.P.Shutyaev • Numerical methods. Mesh generation for complex domainsYu.A.Kunznetsov, Yu.V.Vassilevski, G.M.Kobelkov

  8. Research Projects • Atmospheric physics and general circulation of the atmosphereV.P.Dymnikov, V.N.Lykossov • Oceanic physicsA.S.Sarkisyan • Mathematical models for atmospheric and oceanic dynamicsG.I.Marchuk, V.B.Zalesny • Environmental protection modelsG.I.Marchuk, A.E.Aloyan • Mathematical immunologyG.I.Marchuk, A.A.Romanyukha, G.A.Bocharov

  9. Timeline • 1983: Postgruduate Course • 1984: Dissertation (candidate) defence board • 1995: Dissertation (doctoral) defence board • 2000: Election of V.P.Dymnikov as director • 2004: Supercomputing cluster • 2010: Election of E.E.Tyrtyshnikov as director

  10. Staff • Members of the Academy: 7 • Sci. Doctors: 27 • Sci. Candidates: 23 • Post-graduate students: 7

  11. Activities • Post-graduate course(a total of 97 students graduated since 1983, of which 69 defended their Ph.D. theses; currently there are 7 students) • ChairsMoscow State UniversityMoscow Institute of Physics and Technology • Dissertation Board: 132 theses defended (115 candidate, 17 doctoral) • International conferences

  12. Seminars • International seminar on matrix methods and operator equations • Global climate changes • Current problems in computational mathematics and mathematical modeling • Mathematical modeling of geophysical processes • Computational mathematics and applications • Computational mathematics, mathematical physics, and control • Methods of variational data assimilation and control of complex systems • Mathematical modeling in immunology and medicine • Mathematical modeling of geophysical processes: direct and inverse problems

  13. Prizes and Awards • Gold Medal of RAS for Young Scientists (2006, 2010) • Russian Federation Order of Honor (2005, 2007, 2009) • Wilhelm Bjerknes Medal (EGU) (2008) • Order “For Services to Motherland” 2nd degree (2005) • All-Russian Demidov Prize (2004) • Lomonosov Big Gold Medal of RAS (2004) • Russian Governmental Prize on Education (2003) • Padma Bhushan Award (India) (2002) • Gold Medal of RAS for Young Scientists (2002) • Chebyshev Gold Medal of RAS (1996, 2002)

  14. Prizes and Awards • Russian Governmental Prize on Science and Technology (2002) • MAIK-Nauka Prize (2000 and 2004) • Russian State Prize on Science and Technology (2000) • Academician Lavrentev Prize (2001) • Annual RAS Prize after Academician Sokolov in Mathematics (2000) • RFBR Prize for best scientific-popular paper (2000) • RAS and MAIK-Nauka Prize (1999) • Bellman Prize in Mathematical Biology (1996) • Fridman Prize (1993) • Karpinski Prize (1988) • Keldysh Gold Medal and Prize (1981)

  15. Concluding Remarks We have covered a long way to become accepted by the international mathematical community. Our institute has a new structure and quality. Much credit must go to directorship. Of special note is the excellent job done by academician Valentin Pavlovich Dymnikov during his 10-year tenure as the director: he managed to enhance the progress of science, refine the personnel, and make a substantial upgrade of computer facilities in the institute. We are very thankful to Valentin Pavlovich for his dynamic and fruitful activities. In June, 2010, Evgeny Evgenievich Tyrtyshnikov, a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, prominent scholar and science organizer, was elected as the director of INM RAS. He introduced a new research field: tensor analysis and computational methods. Let us wish him new achievements.

  16. Thank you for your attention!
