Alan Gaius Ramsay McIntosh (* 1942 in Sydney, † August 8, 2016) was an Australian mathematician who dealt with analysis (harmonic analysis, partial differential equations). He was a professor at the Australian National University in Canberra.[1]

McIntosh studied at the

Frantisek Wolf at the University of California, Berkeley, ( Representation of Accretive Bilinear Forms in Hilbert Space by Maximal Accretive Operator ). In Berkeley, he was also a student of Tosio Kato. As a post-doctoral student, he was at the Institute for Advanced Study and from 1967 he taught at Macquarie University
and from 1999 at the Australian National University. In 2014 he became emeritus.

McIntosh was involved in solving the

singular integral operators
.

In 2002, he solved with

elliptic differential operators
.

He also deals with

elliptic partial differential operators
.

In 1986 he became a fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, whose Hannan Medal he received in 2015.[2] In 2002 he received the Moyal Medal from Macquarie University.[3]
