Revaz Valerianovic Gamkrelidze (Georgian: რევაზ ვალერის ძე გამყრელ��ძე, ISO 9984: Revaz Valeris je Gamqrelije; born February 4, 1927) is a Georgian and Soviet mathematician known for his work in optimal control theory and related fields. Gamkrelidze is a member of the Georgian Academy of Sciences[1] and a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.[2] He is the founding editor of .[3]

Revaz Gamkrelidze is the brother of the linguist Tamaz Gamkrelidze.

Life[]

After secondary school, Gamkrelidze attended Tbilisi State University.[4] In his sophomore year, he went to Moscow to study at the mechanics and mathematics faculty of the Moscow State University where he became a student of Pontryagin.[4]

Work[]

At Moscow State University he initially worked in the fields of algebraic geometry and topology and derived what is now known as .[5] In 1954 he began his work on optimal control. He wrote Mathematical Theory of Optimal Processes with Pontryagin, Boltyanskii and . This work was awarded the State Lenin Prize for Science and Technology in 1962.[6][7] Gamkrelidze is the founding editor of .
