Age, Biography and Wiki

Ilya M. Sobol was a Soviet-born Israeli mathematician and computer scientist. He was a professor at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel, and a member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities. Sobol was born in Panevezhas, Lithuania, and studied mathematics at the University of Vilnius. In 1948, he immigrated to Israel and studied at the Technion, where he received his B.Sc. in 1951 and his M.Sc. in 1953. He then went to the United States, where he received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1957. Sobol was a professor at the Technion from 1957 until his retirement in 1996. He was a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Michigan, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He was a member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities since 1975. Sobol was a pioneer in the field of numerical analysis and computer science. He developed the Sobol sequence, a method for generating pseudorandom numbers, and the Sobol algorithm, a method for solving linear programming problems. He also wrote several books on numerical analysis and computer science. Sobol died on 15 August, 2019 at the age of 97.

Timeline

1988

He is especially known for developing a new quasi-random number sequence known as LPτ sequence, or Sobol sequences. These are now known as digital (t,s)-sequences in base 2, and they can be used to construct digital (t,m,s)-nets. Sobol’ demonstrated that these sequences are superior to many existing competing methods (see a review in Bratley and Fox, 1988 ). For this reason Sobol sequences are widely used in many fields, including finance, for the evaluation of integrals, optimization, experimental design, sensitivity analysis and finance . The key property of Sobol’ sequences is that they provide greatly accelerated convergence rate in Monte Carlo integration when compared with what can be obtained using pseudo-random numbers. His achievements in astrophysics include application of Monte Carlo methods to the mathematical simulation of X-ray and gamma spectra of compact relativistic objects. He studied particle transmission (neutrons, photons). His contributions to sensitivity analysis include the development of the sensitivity indices which bear his name (Sobol indices ), including global sensitivity indices .

1968

Sobol, together with R. Statnikov, proposed a new approach to the problems of multi-objective optimization and multi-objective decision making. This approach allows researchers and practitioners to solve the problems with non-differentiable objective functions and non-linear constraints. These results are described in their monograph One of his best known books is Monte Carlo Methods, originally published in 1968, was translated into five languages, and revised in a US version in 1994. Sobol has the highest Citation Index among living Russian mathematicians. He also contributed to the first multi-author book on sensitivity analysis.

1958

In 1958, Sobol started to work on pseudo-random numbers, then to move on developing new approaches which were later called quasi-Monte Carlo methods (QMC). He was the first to use the Haar functions in mathematical applications. Sobol defended his D.Sc. dissertation "The Method of Haar Series in the Theory of Quadrature Formulas" in 1972. The results were previously published in his well-known monograph "Multidimensional Quadrature Formulas and Haar Functions"

1949

In 1949, Sobol joined a laboratory of the Geophysical Complex Expedition at the Institute of Geophysics of the USSR Academy of Sciences led by Andrey Nikolayevich Tikhonov. This laboratory was subsequently merged with the Institute of Applied Mathematics of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

1948

In his student years, Sobol was actively engaged in solving various mathematical problems. His first scientific works concerning ordinary differential equations were published in renowned mathematical journals in 1948. Some of his subsequent studies were also devoted to this subject. During his years at the Institute of Applied Mathematics Sobol took part in the computations for the first Soviet atomic and hydrogen bombs. He also worked with Alexander Samarskii on the computation of temperature waves.

1926

Ilya Meyerovich Sobol (born 15 August 1926) (Russian: Илья Меерович Соболь) is a Russian mathematician, known for his work on Monte Carlo methods. His research spans several applications, from nuclear studies to astrophysics, and has contributed significantly to the field of sensitivity analysis.

Ilya Meyerovich Sobol was born on August 15, 1926, in Panevėžys (Lithuania). When World War II reached Lithuania his family was evacuated to Izhevsk. Here Sobol attended high school which he finished in 1943 with distinction. Sobol then moved to Moscow at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University, where he graduated with distinction in 1948. Ilya Meyerovich Sobol recognizes Aleksandr Khinchin, Viktor Vladimirovich Nemytskii, and A. Kolmogorov as his teachers.
