Boris Mordukhovich
{{short description|American mathematician}}
Boris Mordukhovich ({{langx|ru|Борис Шолимович Мордухович}}) is an American mathematician recognized for his research in the areas of nonlinear analysis, optimization, and control theory. Mordukhovich is one of the founders of modern variational analysis and generalized differentiation. Currently he is Distinguished University Professor and Lifetime Scholar of the Academy of Scholars at Wayne State University (Vice President, 2009–2010 and President, 2010–2011).
Life and works
Mordukhovich was born and educated in the Soviet Union; he emigrated to the United States with his family in December 1988. He developed constructions of generalized differentiation (bearing now his name), and their development and applications to classes of problems in variational analysis, optimization, equilibrium, control, economics, engineering, and other fields.{{cite journal|last1=Henrion |first1=R. |last2=Kruger |first2=A. |last3=Outrata |first3=J. |year=2008 |title=Boris Mordukhovich, The Never Tired Traveller, Celebrates His Sixtieth Birthday |journal=Set-Valued Analysis |volume=16 |issue= 2–3|pages=125–127 |doi=10.1007/s11228-008-0069-9 |hdl=1959.17/66904 |s2cid=120131405 }}{{cite journal|last1=Torres |first1=D.
