Biography:Benjamin Muckenhoupt
Benjamin Muckenhoupt (December 22, 1933, Boston – April 13, 2020, Whippany, New Jersey) was an American mathematician, specializing in analysis. He is known for the introduction of Muckenhoupt weights.[1]
Biography
After graduating in 1950 from Newton High School (renamed in 1974 Newton North High School),[2] Benjamin Muckenhoupt matriculated at Harvard University. where he graduated in 1954 with an A.B.[3] At Harvard, by his outstanding score on the 1954 William Lowell Putnam Competition, he became a Putnam Fellow.[4] At the University of Chicago, he graduated in 1955 with an M.Sc. and in 1958 with a Ph.D.[3] His Ph.D. thesis On certain singular integrals[5] was supervised by Antoni Zygmund.[6] In the department of the mathematics of Rutgers University, he was an associate professor from 1963 to 1970 and a full professor from 1970 to 1991, when he retired as professor emeritus.[3] For many years, he suffered from progressive supranuclear palsy.[7]
The main focus of Muckenhoupt's mathematical research was harmonic analysis and weighted norm inequalities.[8] At the Institute for Advanced Study, he held visiting positions for the academic years 1968–1970 and 1975–1976. At the State University of New York at Albany he was a visiting professor for the academic year 1970–1971.[3]
His doctoral students include Eileen Poiani.[6]
Upon his death he was survived by his widow, a daughter, a son, and three grandchildren.[4]
