Yves F. Meyer (French: [mɛjɛʁ]; born 19 July 1939) is a French mathematician. He is among the progenitors of wavelet theory, having proposed the Meyer wavelet. Meyer was awarded the Abel Prize in 2017.

Biography

Born in Paris, Yves Meyer studied at the Lycée Carnot in

École Normale Supérieure in 1957.[2] He obtained his Ph.D. in 1966, under the supervision of Jean-Pierre Kahane.[3][4] The Mexican historian Jean Meyer
is his cousin.

Yves Meyer taught at the

(1999–2003), and has been a professor emeritus at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan since 2004.

He was awarded the 2010 Gauss Prize for fundamental contributions to number theory, operator theory and harmonic analysis, and his pivotal role in the development of wavelets and multiresolution analysis.[3] He also received the 2017 Abel Prize "for his pivotal role in the development of the mathematical theory of wavelets."[5][6]
