Semyon Kutateladze

SemyonEfn|Also transliterated as Semën. October 2, 1945 – January 15, 2025) was a Russian mathematician. He was known for his contributions to functional analysis and its applications to vector lattices and optimization. In particular, he made contributions to the calculus of subdifferentials for vector-lattice valued functions, to whose study he introduced methods of Boolean-valued models and infinitesimals.

He was professor of mathematics at Novosibirsk State University, where he continued and enriched the scientific tradition of Leonid Kantorovich. His father was the Soviet heat physicist Samson Kutateladze. Kutateladze died on January 15, 2025, aged 79.
