 Andrey Tikhonov (mathematician)

Andrey Tikhonov was a prominent Russian mathematician known for his significant contributions to several areas of mathematics, including functional analysis, mathematical physics, and numerical analysis. He is perhaps best known for developing the Tikhonov regularization method, which is a technique used to stabilize the solution of ill-posed problems, especially in the field of inverse problems and optimization. This method has applications in various fields, including statistics, machine learning, image reconstruction, and engineering.
