Andrei Andreevich Bolibrukh (

ordinary differential equations including Riemann–Hilbert problem and Fuchsian system.[2]

Work

Bolibrukh was born on 30 January 1950 in

complex analytic geometry to classical problems about ordinary differential equations and was an expert on Hilbert's twenty-first problem. In 1989, Bolibrukh produced his famous counterexamples which invalidated the Josip Plemelj's 1908 solution of Hilbert's twenty-first problem.[4] Bolibrukh dedicated much of his efforts to the Riemann-Hilbert problem in order to find full necessary and sufficient conditions for given monodromy data
to be those of a Fuchsian system.

During his short career he served as Deputy Director of the Steklov Institute of Mathematics and professor at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.[5]

Honours and awards

In 1994 Bolibrukh was elected to the Russian Academy of Sciences. He was an Invited Speaker at the ICM in Zürich in 1994.[6] He was awarded the Lyapunov Prize from the Academy of Sciences, Russia in 1995. In 2001 Bolibrukh received the State Prize of the Russian Federation.
