Francesco Giacomo Tricomi1 Nato a Napoli il 5 maggio 1897 in un’agiata famiglia borghese, Tricomi frequenta l’Istituto tecnico locale, dove concepisce una passione per gli studi scientifici grazie all’influenza del suo insegnante di Matematica Alfredo Perna. Conseguito il diploma all’età di appena sedici anni, s’iscrive al corso di laurea in Chimica dell’Università di Bologna. L’anno successivo passa a Fisica e infine, nel 1915-16, torna a Napoli e si immatricola al terz’anno del corso di studi in Matematica. Arruolato nell’autunno del 1916, segue un corso per allievi ufficiali di complemento presso l’Accademia militare di Torino e il 1 aprile 1917, fresco di nomina, è inviato al fronte, dapprima sul Carso e poi nella zona del monte Grappa e del Piave. Nonostante la guerra, riesce comunque a portare avanti gli studi scientifici e consegue la laurea in Matematica a Napoli il 16 aprile 1918, durante una licenza. Terminata la Grande Guerra, Tricomi torna a Napoli all’inizio del 1920, decorato di due croci al merito, e riallaccia i rapporti con alcuni suoi ex docenti, fra cui R. Marcolongo e G. Torelli che lo indirizzano nelle prime ricerche e lo mettono in contatto con G. Fubini. Nel febbraio del 1921, su suggerimento di U. Amaldi, è assunto da F. Severi quale assistente alla cattedra di Geometria analitica presso l’Università di Padova. L’esperienza alla ‘Scuola’ di Severi è tuttavia di breve durata, poiché nei primi mesi del 1922 Tricomi è chiamato a Roma dove consegue la libera docenza in Analisi algebrica e infinitesimale e dove ha modo di inserirsi in un ambiente accademico di eccezionale levatura, che vanta in quegli anni la presenza di illustri matematici, fra cui V.

  • Sobolev Spaces on Gelfand Pairs
    Sobolev spaces on Gelfand pairs Mateusz Krukowski Institute of Mathematics, Łódź University of Technology, Wólczańska 215, 90-924 Łódź, Poland e-mail: [email protected] March 20, 2020 Abstract The primary aim of the paper is the study of Sobolev spaces in the context of Gelfand pairs. The article commences with providing a historical overview and motivation for the researched subject together with a summary of the current state of the literature. What follows is a general outline of harmonic analysis on Gelfand pairs, starting with a concept of positive-semidefinite functions, through spherical functions and spherical transform and concluding with the Hausdorff-Young inequality. The main part of the paper introduces the notion of Sobolev spaces on Gelfand pairs and studies the prop- erties of these spaces. It turns out that Sobolev embedding theorems and Rellich-Kondrachov theorem still hold true in this generalized context (if certain technical caveats are taken into consideration). Keywords : Gelfand pairs, spherical transform, Hausdorff-Young inequality, Sobolev spaces, Sobolev embedding theorems, Rellich-Kondrachov theorem, bosonic string equation AMS Mathematics Subject Classification : 43A15, 43A32, 43A35, 43A40, 43A90 1 Introduction It is difficult to imagine a mathematician working in a field of differential equations, who has not heard of Sobolev spaces. These spaces are named after Sergei Sobolev (1908 ´ 1989), although they were known before the rise of the Russian mathematician to academic stardom. In 1977 Gaetano Fichera wrote arXiv:2003.08519v1 [math.FA] 19 Mar 2020 (comp. [32]): “These spaces, at least in the particular case p “ 2, were known since the very beginning of this century, to the Italian mathematicians Beppo Levi and Guido Fubini who investigated the Dirichlet minimum principle for elliptic equations.” According to Fichera, at the beginning of the fifties, a group of French mathematicians decided to dub the spaces in question and they came up with the name “Beppo Levi spaces”.

    Unione Matematica Italiana 1921 - 2012 Unione Matematica Italiana Soggetto produttore Unione Matematica Italiana Estremi cronologici 1921 - Tipologia Ente Tipologia ente ente di cultura, ricreativo, sportivo, turistico Profilo storico / Biografia La fondazione dell’Unione Matematica Italiana è strettamente legata alla costituzione del Consiglio Internazionale delle Ricerche e al voto da questo formulato a Bruxelles nel luglio 1919 nel quale si auspicava il sorgere di «Unioni Internazionali» per settori scientifici, ai quali avrebbero dovuto aderire dei «Comitati nazionali» costituiti «ad iniziativa delle Accademie nazionali scientifiche o dei Consigli Nazionali delle Ricerche». In Italia, non essendo ancora stato costituito il C.N.R., fu l’Accademia dei Lincei, nella persona del suo presidente Vito Volterra, a farsi promotrice della costituzione dei Comitati nazionali. Per il Comitato della matematica Vito Volterra propose nel 1920, insieme a un gruppo di matematici, fra cui Luigi Bianchi, Pietro Burgatti, Roberto Marcolongo, Carlo Somigliana e Giovanni Vacca, la costituzione di una Unione Matematica Italiana, redigendo un primo schema di programma che poneva fra gli scopi dell’Unione l’incoraggiamento alla scienza pura, il ravvicinamento tra la matematica pura e le altre scienze, l’orientamento ed il progresso dell’insegnamento e l’organizzazione, la preparazione e la partecipazione a congressi nazionali ed internazionali. La proposta fu accolta dall’Accademia dei Lincei nel marzo 1921 e quale presidente dell’Unione venne designato Salvatore Pincherle, illustre matematico dell'Università di Bologna. L’Unione Matematica Italiana (UMI) nacque ufficialmente il 31 marzo 1922 con la diffusione da parte di Salvatore Pincherle di una lettera con la quale presentava il programma della Società invitando i destinatari ad aderire all’iniziativa.

  • GUIDO STAMPACCHIA Silvia Mazzone
    1 GUIDO STAMPACCHIA Silvia Mazzone 1. Formazione scientifica e prima attività di ricerca alla Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa e all’Università di Napoli. Guido Stampacchia nasce a Napoli, nel quartiere Chiaia, il 26 marzo 1922 da Emanuele e Giulia Campagnano. Giulia, di religione ebraica,1 apparteneva ad una famiglia di origini fiorentine che aveva un laboratorio di biancheria ricamata a mano; gli Stampacchia, invece, erano una famiglia di origine leccese ed osservavano la religione valdese. Il papà, Emanuele, gestiva una fabbrica di ferramenta che sarà costretto a vendere al tempo della guerra in Etiopia, come conseguenza del suo rifiuto a prendere la tessera del partito fascista. Il giovane Guido riceve una educazione essenzialmente laica anche se, da bambino, insieme alle due sorelle frequenta la chiesa valdese. Egli consegue la maturità classica a 18 anni, nel 1940, al Liceo-Ginnasio Gian Battista Vico di Napoli riportando come unico voto di eccellenza 9 in matematica e fisica. Nonostante gli studi classici, aveva chiara l'intenzione di dedicarsi alla matematica e perciò aveva approfondito per suo conto la preparazione di matematica e di fisica studiando “i capisaldi del programma di Liceo Scientifico, cercando … di intravederne il processo logico”2. Nell’autunno del 1940 è ammesso come alunno interno alla Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, classe di Scienze, corso di laurea in matematica pura, essendo riuscito quinto al concorso3 e, nei tre anni successivi, supera brillantemente tutti gli esami previsti dal piano di studio assolvendo agli obblighi cui sono tenuti i normalisti. In particolare all’università ha come docenti Francesco Cecioni e Salvatore Cherubino per gli insegnamenti del primo biennio mentre il terzo anno frequenta il corso di Analisi superiore di Leonida Tonelli e quello di Teoria delle funzioni di Lamberto Cesari.

  • In Memory of Gaetano Fichera Wolfgang L. Wendland
    LE MATEMATICHE Vol. LXII (2007) – Fasc. II, pp. 7–9 IN MEMORY OF GAETANO FICHERA WOLFGANG L. WENDLAND Dear Dr. Matelda Fichera, Prof. Dr. Maria Pia Colautti, Dr. Anna Maria Fichera, Dr. Massimo Fichera, Gaetano Fichera passed away at the age of 74 June 1st just 10 years ago. He left behind his dear wife Dr. Mathelda Fichera after 44 years of happy to- getherness - and the world of mathematics. I feel very honored to be asked to say a few words at this beautiful place not too far from his birth place. Personally I had had the privilege to meet the famous Gaetano Fichera the first time at the Oberwolfach conference on partial differential equations in 1969 where he gave a lecture on Orthogonal invariants of elliptic operators in the variety of Hilbert spaces and gave estimates on eigenvalues. He was an extraor- dinary, real gentleman, very handsome and impressive, being polite and kind to us youngsters; caring even for my work and giving advice in the discussions. His lectures were tastefully prepared and delivered in elegance with brilliant clarity. The Sicilian gentleman! In 1970 at the Dundee conference on ordinary and partial differential equations organized by Norrie Everitt I could listen to Gaetano’s four lectures in a series on “Some topics in the theory of partial dif- ferential equations” and looking back, this seems like becoming a guideline of my own work. At the next Dundee conference in 1772 I have met him again; vividly I re- member his lectures on “Abstract unilateral problems” corresponding to his fa- Entrato in redazione 1 gennaio 2007 8 WOLFGANG L.

  • Alfio Quarteroni
    An interview with Alfio Quarteroni Conducted by Philip Davis on 22 June, 2004 Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island Interview conducted by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, as part of grant # DE-FG02-01ER25547 awarded by the US Department of Energy. Transcript and original tapes donated to the Computer History Museum by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics © Computer History Museum Mountain View, California ABSTRACT: Professor Alfio Quarteroni discusses a range of topics in this interview with Phil Davis, including his work on finite elements, spectral methods, and domain decomposition. He began studying economic issues in a more professional school before switching over to study mathematics. Quarteroni received his Ph.D. from University of Pavia in Italy, completing a thesis on finite methods under Franco Brezzi. He finished it up in Paris, at the Laboratoire d'Analyse Numérique (now called the Laboratorie Jacques-Louis Lions), where he was encouraged to begin studying spectral methods. Professor Enrico Magenes, who dominated mathematics at Pavia, also exerted a strong influence on Quarteroni. Quarteroni observes how numerical methods have gone from obscure, rarely-used tools to common ones, although they are still not popular in some quarters of the engineering community. Quarteroni notes that low-order methods such as finite elements and higher- order methods such as spectral methods seem to be merging. Numerical methods are necessarily tied to experimental data. One of the challenges, especially in the airplane industry, is multi-objective optimization involving various fields of mathematics and physics. Quarteroni later became interested in domain decomposition, an area that became important with the rise of parallel computing but which are now important in a variety of fields, including the design of racing yachts.
