dynamical systems and responsible for important contributions to stability theory, such as LaSalle's invariance principle
which bears his name.
Biography
Joseph LaSalle defended his
Ph.D. thesis on ″Pseudo-Normed Linear Sets over Valued Rings″ at the California Institute of Technology in 1941.[3]
In 1946 he joined the Mathematics Department at the full professor in 1956.[4]
During a visit to Baltimore, where he worked closely with Lefschetz and in 1960 published his extension of Lyapunov stability theory,[5] known today as LaSalle's invariance principle.[4]
In 1962-1963 he was President of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)[6] and was a member of its board of trustees in 1964–1967.[4] In 1964 LaSalle founded the Journal of Differential Equations[7] and served as its Editor-in-Chief until 1980.[4] In 1964 he became the first director of the Center for Dynamical Systems at Brown University, where he was also the chairman of the Division of Applied Mathematics in 1968–1973.[8]
