Jacques-Louis Lions ( May 3 1928 – May 17 2001) was a French mathematician who made contributions to the theory of Partial differential Nancy-Université federates the three principal institutes of higher education of Nancy, in Lorraine: Henri Poincaré University He received his doctorate from the University of Pierre and Marie Curie in 1979. Pierre and Marie Curie University ( Université Pierre et Marie Curie or UPMC - Paris Universitas or Paris 6) is a French University Year 1979 ( MCMLXXIX) was a Common year starting on Monday (link displays the 1979 Gregorian calendar)
He studies the theory of nonlinear partial differential equations, and received the Fields Medal for his mathematical work in 1994 while working at the University of Paris-Dauphine. In Mathematics, partial differential equations ( PDE) are a type of Differential equation, i The Fields Medal is a prize awarded to two three or four Mathematicians not over 40 years of age at each International Congress of the International Mathematical Year 1994 ( MCMXCIV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full 1994 Gregorian calendar) Dauphine University Paris ( Université de technologie en sciences des organisations et de la décision de Paris-Dauphine or Université Paris-Dauphine, formerly Lions was the first to give a complete solution to the Boltzmann equation with a proof. The Boltzmann equation, also often known as the Boltzmann transport equation, devised by Ludwig Boltzmann, describes the statistical distribution of Other awards Lions received include the IBM Prize in 1987 and the Philip Morris Prize in 1991. He is a doctor honoris causa of Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh) and of the City University of Hong-Kong. Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, is the eighth-oldest higher education institution in the United Kingdom, although it only received Edinburgh ( ˈɛdɪnb(ərə Dùn Èideann) is the Capital of Scotland and is its second largest city after Glasgow. City University of Hong Kong (CityU ( is one of the eight Universities in Hong Kong. Currently, he holds the position of Professor of Partial differential equations and their applications at the prestigious College de France in Paris as well as a position at Ecole Polytechnique. In Mathematics, partial differential equations ( PDE) are a type of Differential equation, i The Collège de France is a higher education and research establishment ( Grand établissement) located in Paris, France, in the 5th arrondissement For other Écoles Polytechniques see École Polytechnique de Montréal and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
In the paper "Viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations", written with Michael Crandall, he introduced the notion of viscosity solutions. In Mathematics, the viscosity solution concept was introduced in the early 1980s by Pierre-Louis Lions and Michael Crandall as a generalization of the classical This has had a great effect on the theory of partial differential equations.
