Rom Rubenovich Varshamov (Russian Ром Рубенович Варшамов; Born April 9, 1927, in Tbilisi; Died August 24, 1999, in Moscow) was a Soviet Armenian mathematician who worked in

error-correcting codes and Number theory
.

Varshamov studied in

Gilbert-Varshamov bound for linear codes (independently of Edgar Gilbert who proved the non-linear part). From 1968 he worked in Yerevan and was director of the Computer Centre (now Institute for Informatics and Automation Problems[1]) of the Academy of Sciences of the Armenian SSR. He was author and co-author of more than 25 scientific articles[2] and also a member of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences.[3]
