Tosio Kato (加藤 敏夫, Katō Toshio, August 25, 1917 – October 2, 1999) was a Japanese mathematician who worked with partial differential equations, mathematical physics and functional analysis.
Kato studied physics and received his undergraduate degree in 1941 at the
University of California at Berkeley
in the United States.
Many works of Kato are related to mathematical physics. In 1951, he showed the self-adjointness of
Kato is also known for his influential book Perturbation theory of linear operators, published by Springer-Verlag.In 1980, he won the Norbert Wiener Prize in Applied Mathematics from AMS and SIAM. In 1970, he gave a plenary lecture at the ICM in Nice (scattering theory and perturbation of continuous spectra).
