Pierre-Louis Lions
1956-
French mathematician and Fields Medal winner who contributed critical insights into theories on nonlinear partial differential equations involving viscosity solutions.
Lions also contributed fundamental insights into variational problems, the Boltzmann equation, and other kinetic equations that describe interactions between colliding particles. Lions's work has allowed for the improved modeling of applied problems in statistical mechanics, including atmospheric and oceanic studies.
