French mathematician (b. 1939)
Yves F. Meyer (French: [mɛjɛʁ] ; born 19 July 1939) is a Frenchmathematician . He is among the progenitors ofwavelet theory, having proposed theMeyer wavelet . Meyer was awarded theAbel Prize in 2017.
Born in Paris into aJewish [ 1] family, Yves Meyer studied at the Lycée Carnot inTunis ;[ 2] he won the French General Student Competition (Concours Général ) in Mathematics, and was placed first in the entrance examination for theÉcole Normale Supérieure in 1957.[ 3] He obtained his Ph.D. in 1966, under the supervision ofJean-Pierre Kahane .[ 4] [ 5] The Mexican historianJean Meyer is his cousin.
Yves Meyer taught at thePrytanée national militaire during his military service (1960–1963), then was a teaching assistant at theUniversité de Strasbourg (1963–1966), a professor atUniversité Paris-Sud (1966–1980), a professor atÉcole Polytechnique (1980–1986), a professor atUniversité Paris-Dauphine (1985–1995), a senior researcher at theCentre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) (1995–1999), an invited professor at theConservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (2000), a professor atÉcole Normale Supérieure de Cachan (1999–2003), and has been a professor emeritus at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan since 2004.
He was awarded the 2010 Gauss Prize for fundamental contributions tonumber theory ,operator theory andharmonic analysis , and his pivotal role in the development of wavelets andmultiresolution analysis .[ 4] He also received the 2017 Abel Prize "for his pivotal role in the development of the mathematical theory of wavelets."[ 6] [ 7]
