DOI: 10.1134/S0012266107010016

On January 3, Yurii Alekseevich Mitropol’skii, Academician of the National Academy of Sciencesof Ukraine and the Russian Academy of Sciences, celebrated his ninetieth birthday.

Yurii Alekseevich Mitropol’skii was born on January 3, 1917 in the village of Chernyshovka,Poltava province. His father, Aleksei Savvich Mitropol’skii, attended St. Petersburg University;he went to the front in 1914 and participated in military operations until the war ended. In 1919,Mitropol’skii’s family moved to Kiev. In 1938, Yurii Alekseevich Mitropol’skii entered the Physical-Mathematical Faculty of Kiev University. From 1943 until the end of the Great Patriotic war, he wasat the front as commander of an artillery reconnaissance platoon.

For service in battle, he was decorated with two Orders of the Red Star, Order of the PatrioticWar (Degree II), and medals.

After demobilization in 1946, Mitropol’skii worked as a junior researcher in the Departmentof Nonlinear Mechanics at the Institute of Structural Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences ofthe Ukrainian Republic. Here, under the supervision by N.N. Bogolyubov, he began his scien-tific activity. His first scientific results dealt with the investigation of resonances in nonlinearoscillation systems with slow parameters on the basis of Krylov–Bogolyubov asymptotic methods.Mitropol’skii defended his Philosophy Doctor thesis on this topic in 1948 and the Doctor of Sciencesthesis “Slow Processes in Nonlinear Oscillation Systems with Many Degrees of Freedom” in 1951.

Since 1950, Mitropol’skii has been working at the Institute of Mathematics of the Academy ofSciences of the Ukrainian Republic (now the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine). In 1949–89,he simultaneously read special courses on ordinary differential equations including stability theoryand theory of oscillations at the Mechanical-Mathematical Faculty of Kiev University. In 1953–2001, Mitropol’skii headed the Department of Mathematical Physics and Theory of NonlinearOscillations.

He was Director of the Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences of the UkrainianRepublic in 1958–87 and was elected Honorary Director of the institute in 1987.

2 YURII ALEKSEEVICH MITROPOL’SKII

Mitropol’skii was elected Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the UkrainianRepublic in 1958, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian Republic in 1961,and Academician of the Academy of Sciences of USSR in 1984. He was awarded the rank ofHonored Worker of Science and Engineering in 1961 and the title of Honored Professor by theSoros Foundation in 1994.

In the sixty years of his scientific activity, Mitropol’skii contributed to mathematical sciencewith fundamental results in the field of asymptotic methods of nonlinear analysis and promotedtheir applications to the investigation of nonlinear systems modeling real-world phenomena. Letus outline Mitropol’skii’s main scientific achievements.

A large series of Mitropol’skii’s papers (1948–64) contains further development of Krylov–Bogolyubov asymptotic methods. He comprehensively developed the algorithmic aspects of asymp-totic methods, suggested new schemes convenient for the practical construction of approximatesolutions (for systems with “small” and “large” parameters), and studied new physical phenomenatypical of nonlinear oscillation systems.

The papers published in 1949–50 deal with systematic and rigorous application of asymptoticmethods of nonlinear mechanics to the analysis of nonstationary processes in systems with dis-tributed parameters. In these papers, Mitropol’skii devised a general method for studying nonsta-tionary oscillations in systems with distributed parameters on the basis of the development andgeneralization of the one-frequency method on the one hand and the development of methods forsystems with slow parameters on the other hand.

A series of papers written by Mitropol’skii in 1950, 1955, and 1964 develops averaging methodsand their applications to the analysis of oscillation systems with slow parameters. A number ofresults were obtained by generalizing the averaging method to systems with deviating argument,which arise in the analysis of oscillations of mechanical, electromagnetic, and other nature (1966).

When considering solution sets admitted by complicated systems of nonlinear differential equa-tions, it is often important to single out a solution manifold (an integral manifold) whose dimensionis less than the order of the system and which has some specific properties. The solution of thisproblem involves proving the existence of an integral manifold of the system in question and an-alyzing the structure of this manifold and of some neighborhood of it. In this connection, specialattention is paid to constructive methods for approximating the vector function that specifies theintegral manifold and to the use of the approximate functions in qualitative analysis instead ofthe vector function defining the exact integral manifold. A rigorous theory of integral manifoldswas constructed for the first time by Bogolyubov (1945) for differential equations in the standardform

x = εX(t, x), where x and X are n-vectors and ε > 0 is a small parameter,

which arises in numerous problems of nonlinear mechanics.Mitropol’skii substantially developed the theory of integral manifolds (1958, 1969, 1973). In par-

ticular, he investigated integral manifolds of nonlinear differential equations with variable coeffi-cients, which permitted him to justify the one-frequency method for oscillation systems describedby nonlinear differential equations with slow parameters.

In the middle 1960s, Bogolyubov developed a new version of the method of successive changes ofvariables, which combines the method of accelerated convergence (typical for the Newton methodof tangents) and the method of integral manifolds. In the 1969 series of papers, Mitropol’skiisubstantially developed this method and applied it to the solution of a number of important prob-lems in nonlinear mechanics. For example, the method was used for the construction of a generalsolution of a system of nonlinear equations and the analysis of its behavior in a neighborhood ofsome quasiperiodic solution. Mitropol’skii also analyzed the possibility of reducing a nonlineardifferential system to a linear system with constant coefficients. The influence of random forces onnonlinear oscillation systems was analyzed in Mitropol’skii’s papers in 1980. He showed that theuse of asymptotic methods of nonlinear mechanics and the technique of Fokker–Plank–Kolmogorovequations has a great practical advantage over other methods, since it allows one to find thequadrature of the stationary distribution density of the amplitude and phase of random oscilla-tions. He also analyzed the possibility of using the averaging principle in stochastic differentialequations of the hyperbolic type (2003). He performed a large series of investigations (1988) forthe development of the group-theoretic approach in the averaging method. He proved necessaryand sufficient conditions for the decomposition of a higher-dimension system of ordinary differen-tial equations in subsystems of lower dimensions. These conditions can be constructively expressed

via coefficients of the system and can be reduced to the construction of Lie algebras (finite- orinfinite-dimensional). The possibility of expanding these algebras in a direct sum of ideals providesthe possibility of the decomposition. A series of Mitropol’skii’s papers deals with the investigationof the adiabatic invariance of nonlinear dynamical systems with a small parameter.

Mitropol’skii successfully combines his scientific and management activities. He pays muchattention to the education of young generation. His students include 100 Philosophy Doctors and25 Doctors of Sciences in physics and mathematics (in particular, 12 Philosophy Doctors fromVietnam, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia and 7 Doctors of Sciences from Vietnam,Uzbekistan, and Yugoslavia).

Mitropol’skii is a distinguished manager of science. Being Director of the Institute for Math-ematics, he contributed to opening new scientific departments, which stimulated research in thefield of algebra, theory of random processes, function theory, functional analysis, and mathematicalphysics. When Mitropol’skii was Director of the Institute for Mathematics for 30 years, about 500Philosophy Doctors and 80 Doctors of Sciences were trained there. His creative activity made theInstitute for Mathematics a leading center of mathematical research in Ukraine.

Mitropol’skii was Academician-Secretary of the Branch of Mathematics and Cybernetics in1963–83 and Academician-Secretary of the Branch of Mathematics and Member of the Presidiumof the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian Republic in 1983–93. Since 1992, he has been councillorat the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

In 1965, Mitropol’skii won the Lenin Prize for achievements in the development of mathematicalscience and intensive pedagogical, scientific-organizational, and public activity. He was awardedthe State Prize of the Ukrainian Republic in 1980.

In 1986, he was awarded the title of Hero of Socialistic Labor and decorated with the Order ofLenin and the Gold Medal “Sickle and Hammer.” For the series of papers “Asymptotic Methodsof Nonlinear Mechanics,” Academy of Sciences of USSR awarded Mitropol’skii with the LyapunovGold Medal.

Mitropol’skii was awarded the Order of October Revolution (1971), the Order of the Red LaborBanner (1977), the Order of the Prince Yaroslav the Wise, rank V (1996), the Order of BogdanKhmelnitskii (2001), and the Order of the Prince Yaroslav the Wise, rank IV (2002).

His series of papers in nonlinear mechanics won the Krylov Prize (1969), the Lavrent’ev Prize(1985), and the Bogolyubov Prize (1993).

In 1981, the Cosmonautics Bureau of the USSR awarded Mitropol’skii the Medal of AcademicianYangel for permanent cooperation with Design Office “Yuzhnoe.”

Mitropol’skii also has authority in foreign countries. In 1971, he was elected Foreign Academicianof the Bologna Academy of Sciences, one of the oldest European Academies. He was awarded theSilver Medal “For Service in Science and Humanity” of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciencesin 1977 and the Order “Friendship of Nations” of the Vietnam Socialistic Republic in 1984.

Until now Yurii Alekseevich Mitropol’skii is full of inexhaustible energy and continues to workwith enthusiasm on problems of nonlinear mechanics and theory of nonlinear differential equations.

We wish him good health and fruitful longevity.
