Vladimír Šverák

Vladimír Šverák (born 1959) is a Czech mathematician. Since 1990, he has been a professor at the University of Minnesota. Šverák made notable contributions to calculus of variations.

Šverák obtained his doctorate from the Charles University in Prague in 1986, under supervision of .^[1] He worked on problems in the theory of non-linear elasticity. In 1992, he won an EMS Prize for producing a counterexample to a problem first posed by Charles B. Morrey, Jr. in 1950, whether rank-one convexity implies quasiconvexity.^[2] In 1994, Šverák was an Invited Speaker of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich.^[3]
