Yurii Petrovich Popov(A Tribute in Honor of His Sixtieth Birthday)

On May 2, 2001, Professor Yurii Petrovich Popov, a dis-tinguished Russian scientist in applied mathematics, Doctor ofphysical-mathematical sciences, Corresponding Member of theRussian Academy of Sciences, celebrated his sixtieth birthday.

Yurii Petrovich Popov graduated with excellence from theDepartment of Aeromechanics of Moscow Institute of Physics andTechnology in 1964. After he had completed his postgraduatestudies, he was appointed to a position at the Institute for Ap-plied Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (nowM.V. Keldysh Institute for Applied Mathematics of the RussianAcademy of Sciences). Since then, his entire career has been asso-ciated with the institute. Popov defended his Ph.D. thesis in 1971and D.Sc. thesis in 1979 and became professor in 1981. In 1997,Russian Academy of Sciences elected him Corresponding Memberof the Division of Computer Science, Computing Machinery, andAutomation. Popov became a scientific secretary of the institutein 1975 and Deputy Director in 1980. He has been Directorof the Keldysh Institute for Applied Mathematics since 1999.

In 1964, Popov published his first article, written jointly with Petrov and Pukhnachev, in Zhur-nal vychislitel’noi matematiki i matematicheskoi fiziki (Journal of Computational Mathematics andMathematical Physics). Since then, he has published about 200 papers including 2 monographs,a discovery, and an invention. Many of Popov’s scientific results have become classical and belongto the toolbox of every qualified specialist in computational mathematics and mathematical mod-eling. Popov’s main scientific interests include numerical methods and mathematical modeling inproblems of magnetic and gas dynamics, astrophysics, electrodynamics, plasma physics, viscousfluid dynamics, and many other fields.

Popov’s broad, varied scientific interests have permitted him to succeed in using and developingone of the most important principles in the construction of numerical algorithms, expressed by therequirement that a numerical algorithm must be consistent with the nature of the phenomenonto be studied and that a discrete model must inherit the most significant properties of the phys-ical process. This principle underlies a new class of finite-difference approximations to problemsof mathematical physics, known as completely conservative schemes. The term was introduced inthe joint article [7] with Samarskii. Since then, numerous examples have shown that this class ofschemes offers some advantages over a variety of other classes. The complete conservativeness prin-ciple permits constructing schemes that provide good approximations to rapidly varying solutionseven on coarse grids, for which consistency is essentially lost. Such algorithms are particularly im-portant in modeling processes that involve numerous transitions between different forms of energy.The approach in which the passage to finite-difference approximations preserves balance relationsis presented most clearly in the 1975 monograph Raznostnye metody resheniya zadach gazovoidinamiki (Difference Methods for the Solution of Problems of Gas Dynamics) written jointly bySamarskii and Popov, which has been published in three editions.

Another important requirement imposed by Popov on numerical algorithms is that of homogene-ity (introduced by Tikhonov and Samarskii), which dramatically simplifies the logical structure ofthe computations and permits reducing random access memory requirements. Most finite-differenceapproximations constructed by Popov, as well as the corresponding algorithms, are homogeneous.The complete conservativeness and homogeneity principles are heuristic. This is due to the highcomplexity of the problems to be solved, which prevents one from carrying out a rigorous, mathe-matically perfect study.

One of Popov’s hallmarks is his skill in using hierarchical sequences of model problems forsolving problems involving numerous diverse factors and phenomena. This permits extracting andcomprehensively studying the process in question and then including it in the description of theoverall complex process adequately. To this end, one must determine the “main character” of theproblem. (This role can be played by energy exchange, boundary conditions, external forces, etc.)

The monograph Kvazistatsionarnye elektromagnitnye polya v neodnorodnykh sredakh (Quasista-tionary Electromagnetic Fields in Inhomogeneous Media), written jointly with Galanin and dealingwith the construction, analysis, justification, and application of mathematical modeling meth-ods for processes occurring in various electrical equipment, can serve as an example of Popov’sapproach to the mathematical modeling of complicated phenomena in modern science and technol-ogy. Electrodynamic accelerators of massive objects, which provide high and superhigh velocities,are considered as specific examples in this book. The electrodynamic equations are used only asa basis of mathematical models for this class of problems. In reality, numerous factors can affectthe processes in such devices, including external electrical circuits, heat release, heat conduction,phase transitions, friction, etc. These factors are taken into account in the mathematical modelsand numerical algorithms developed in the book.

Popov’s investigations are inspired by real-life problems. On the one hand, he strives to performmathematical modeling alongside real experiments, thus complementing and helping to explainexperimental results. On the other hand, the permanent comparison of computed and experi-mental results allows one to construct physically meaningful mathematical models and numericalalgorithms related to the specific properties of real phenomenona.

The cycle of papers on the mathematical modeling of convective heat and mass transfer inmany-component media with phase transitions can be mentioned as an example. These studieshave been inspired by problems occurring in semiconductor technology, and the results have beenregistered as an invention.

An application of modern numerical methods to hierarchical models in computational astro-physics has led to fundamental results in supernova explosion theory as well as the theory describingthe formation and evolution of accretion disks in binaries. In particular, Popov and his coauthorshave shown the impossibility of a steady state of an accretion disk in a binary without mass inflowand the absence of spiral shock waves in the disk.

In 1969, a team including Popov, Tikhonov, Samarskii, and others received a discovery cer-tificate titled “The Phenomenon of Generation of a Self-Sustaining High-Temperature ElectricallyConducting Layer (T-layer) under a Nonstationary Motion of a Compressible Medium in a MagneticField.” The studies of the T-layer had required the development of new efficient computationaltechniques, in particular represented by completely conservative finite-difference approximations.At present, the T-layer phenomenon, which has passed the stage of theoretical investigation, is usedin various electrophysical devices.

Yurii Petrovich Popov has been awarded Order of the Badge of Honor and Order of the RedBanner of Labour. As a member of a team of authors, he was awarded the State Prize of the USSRin 1981 and the Prize of the Council of Ministers of the USSR in 1986.

Since 1971, Popov has been teaching actively. Numerous graduates of the Physical Departmentand the Department of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics of M.V. Lomonosov MoscowState University are indebted to him for their knowledge in the field of computational mathematicsas well as the theory and practice of numerical methods. Many of his students have becomephilosophy doctors and several of them, doctors of sciences in physics and mathematics.

Popov is not only a scientist and a manager, but also a widely recognized popularizer of science.In this connection, we mention his recently republished book Matematika bez formul (Mathematicswithout Formulas) written jointly with Pukhnachev. Popov’s friends and colleagues know abouthis involvement in the KVN movement (the Club of Joyful and Ingenious) both as a member ofthe MIPT team and as an author of TV programs and admire him for his humor, sociability, andbenevolence.

We congratulate Yurii Petrovich Popov on his sixtieth birthday and wish him long fruitful life,happiness, health, new scientific results, new students, and success in everything.
