Ramon Edgar (Ray) Moore (December 27, 1929 – April 1, 2015[1]) was an American mathematician, known for his pioneering work in the field of interval arithmetic.
Moore received an AB degree in physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1950, and a PhD in mathematics from Stanford University in 1963. His early career included work on the earliest computers (including ENIAC). He was awarded the Humboldt Research Award for U.S. senior scientists twice, in 1975 and 1980.[1]
His most well known work is his first book, Interval Analysis, published in 1966. He wrote several more books and many journal articles and technical reports.[2][3][4]
R. E. Moore Prize
editThe R. E. Moore Prize for Applications of Interval Analysis is an award in the interdisciplinary field of rigorous numerics. It is awarded biennially by the Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at El Paso,[5] and judged by the editorial board of the journal Reliable Computing.[6] The award was named in honor of Moore's contributions to interval analysis.[7]
Laureates
edit| Year | Name | Citation |
|---|---|---|
| 2002 | Warwick Tucker | Dr. Tucker has proved, using interval techniques, that the renowned Lorenz equations do in fact possess a strange attractor. This problem, Smale's 14th conjecture, is of particular note in large part because the Lorenz model is widely recognized as signaling the beginning of chaos theory[8] |
| 2004 | Thomas C. Hales | Dr. Hales solved this long-standing problem by using interval arithmetic. His preliminary results appeared in the Notices of the American Math Society in 2000; his full paper "The Kepler Conjecture" will appear in Annals of Mathematics, one of the world leading journals in pure mathematics.[9] |
| 2006 | not awarded[10] | |
| 2008 | Kyoko Makino and Martin Berz | For their paper "Suppression of the Wrapping Effect by Taylor Model-based Verified Integrators: Long-term Stabilization by Preconditioning" published in International Journal of Differential Equations and Applications in 2005 (Vol. 10, No. 4, pp. 353–384).[11] |
| 2012 | Luc Jaulin | For his paper "A nonlinear set-membership approach for the localization and map building of an underwater robot using interval constraint propagation" published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics in 2009 (Vol. 25, No. 1, pp. 88–98).[12] |
| 2014 | Kenta Kobayashi | For his paper "Computer-Assisted Uniqueness Proof for Stokes' Wave of Extreme Form" published in Nankai Series in Pure, Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics in 2013 (Vol. 10, pp. 54–67).[13] |
| 2016 | Balazs Banhelyi, Tibor Csendes, Tibor Krisztin, and Arnold Neumaier | For their paper "Global attractivity of the zero solution for Wright's equation" published in SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems in 2014 (Vol. 13, No. 1, pp. 537–563).[14] |
| 2018 | Jordi-Lluís Figueras, Alex Haro and Alejandro Luque | For their paper "Rigorous Computer-Assisted Application of KAM Theory: A Modern Approach", published in Foundations of Computational Mathematics in 2017 (Vol. 17, No. 5, pp. 1123–1193).[15] |
| 2021 | Marko Lange and Siegfried M. Rump | For their paper "Verified inclusions for a nearest matrix of specified rank deficiency via a generalization of Wedin's sin (θ) theorem" published in BIT Numerical Mathematics in 2021 (Vol. 61, pp. 361-380).[16] |
