Fedorov, Vladimir Semenovich

Born on July 27 (August 9), 1893 in Yaroslavl .

While studying at the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of Moscow University, he showed remarkable mathematical abilities. As a result, at the end of it, on June 28, 1905 he was enrolled in graduate school. Since 1915, he began teaching activities in high school and conducted it in that very real school, of which he was a pupil. In 1918 he became privat-docent of Moscow University.

In connection with the everyday difficulties of staying in Moscow, on the advice of D. F. Egorov , he moved to Ivanovo-Voznesensk in the same year with N. N. Luzin , A. Ya. Khincin and D. E. Menshov , where he began to teach as a professor at the Polytechnic Institute . From 1919 to 1923 he taught at the Ivanovo Institute of Public Education (July 12, 1923 he was transformed into a pedagogical college ^[1] ).

From 1931 to 1937 he headed the Department of Mathematics of the Ivanovo-Ascension Pedagogical Institute .

In 1935, he was awarded a doctorate without defending a dissertation.

In 1943 he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor in connection with the 25th anniversary of pedagogical activity in high school.

After retiring in 1962, he continued to work as a professor-consultant at the Department of Higher Mathematics, Ivanovo Energy University ; was co-chair of the Ivanovo Mathematical Society.

The scientific interests of V. S. Fedorov are invariably connected with the theory of analytic functions . In the first period of his scientific activity, the subject of research was analytic functions with a perfect set of singular points, in particular, continuous analytic functions everywhere. Later, starting in 1934, continuing his research in the field of the theory of analytic functions, V. S. Fedorov posed and solved problems concerning the theory of curvilinear integrals . Even later, from 1943, he took on the solution to a very interesting and relevant task; transferring the concept of monogenicity to three-dimensional space, and then to multidimensional and very successfully solves the problem in a number of his works. He establishes an extensive new class of hypercomplex functions, the importance of which for differential equations, in particular for some problems of hydrodynamics of an incompressible viscous fluid, was noted by the Romanian mathematician Monsley, who called them “F-monogenic” ^{[2] [3]} .
