Biography

Born in

USSR Academy of Sciences on 29 January 1939 and a full member
of the USSR Academy of Sciences on 1 July 1966.

Research work

Tikhonov worked in a number of different fields in mathematics. He made important contributions to

completely regular topological spaces are also named Tychonoff spaces
.

In mathematical physics, he proved the fundamental uniqueness theorems for the heat equation[2] and studied Volterra integral equations.

He founded the theory of asymptotic analysis for differential equations with small parameter in the leading derivative.[3]

Organizer work

Tikhonov played the leading role in founding the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics of Moscow State University and served as its first dean during the period of 1970–1990.
