Person: Krylov (2), Nikolai Mitrofanovich

Nikolai Krylov was a Russian mathematician who published over 200 papers on analysis and mathematical physics.

He held this post until 1922 when he moved to Kiev on being appointed chairman of the mathematical physics department of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (in fact renamed the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in the year before Krylov was appointed).
Krylov published over 200 papers on analysis and mathematical physics.
The most famous publication of Krylov and Bogolyubov is their book Introduction to nonlinear mechanics, published in Kiev in 1937.
Before publishing this book with Bogolyubov, in 1931 Krylov had published the important monograph Les méthodes de solution approchée des problèmes de la physique mathématique.
All of Krylov's works emphasise computational aspects, motivations, and applications.
In 1939 Krylov and Bogolyubov published Sur les équations de Focker-Planck déduites dans la théorie des perturbations à l'aide d'une méthode basée sur les propriétés spectrales de l'hamiltonien perturbateur (Application à la mécanique classique et à la mécanique quantique).
Finally let us mention three papers published by Krylov in 1947.
In 1928 Krylov was elected to the USSR Academy of Sciences and in 1939 he became an honoured scientist of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

Born 29 November 1879, St Petersburg, Russia. Died 11 May 1955, Moscow, USSR.
