The Mathematical Problems of David Hilbert About Hilbert's address and his 23 mathematical problems Hilbert's address of 1900 to the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris is perhaps the most influential speech ever given to mathematicians, given by a mathematician, or given about mathematics. In it, Hilbert outlined 23 major mathematical problems to be studied in the coming century. Some are broad, such as the axiomatization of physics (problem 6) and might never be considered completed. Others, such as problem 3, were much more specific and solved quickly. Some were resolved contrary to Hilbert's expectations, as the continuum hypothesis (problem 1). Hilbert's address was more than a collection of problems. It outlined his philosophy of mathematics and proposed problems important to his philosophy. Although almost a century old, Hilbert's address is still important and should be read (at least in part) by anyone interested in pursuing research in mathematics. In 1974 a symposium was held at Northern Illinois University on the Mathematical developments arising from Hilbert problems.

Hilbert's problems were designed to serve as examples for the kinds of problems whose solutions would lead to the furthering of disciplines in mathematics, and are summarized in the following list. 1a. Is there a transfinite number between that of a denumerable set and the numbers of the continuum ? This question was answered by and Cohen to the effect that the answer depends on the particular version of set theory assumed.

The Hilbert problems 1900-2000 Jeremy Gray In 1900 David Hilbert went to the second International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris to give an invited paper. He spoke on The Problems of Mathematics , to such effect that Hermann Weyl later referred to anyone who solved one of the 23 problems that Hilbert presented as entering the honours class of mathematicians. Throughout the 20th century the solution of a problem was the occasion for praise and celebration. David Hilbert around 1900 Hilbert in 1900 By 1900 Hilbert had emerged as the leading mathematician in Germany. He was famous for his solution of the major problems of invariant theory, and for his great Zahlbericht , or Report on the theory of numbers , published in 1896. In 1899, at Klein's request, Hilbert published The foundations of geometry You have opened up an immeasurable field of mathematical investigation which can be called the "mathematics of axioms" and which goes far beyond the domain of geometry. Hermann Minkowski Hilbert was therefore poised to lead the international community of mathematicians. He consulted with his friends Minkowski and Hurwitz, and Minkowski advised him to seize the moment, writing:

Identification of Memory Kernels and Riemann-Hilbert Problems II Continuating our paper [6] (cited as Part I in the sequel) we again deal with two types of inverse problems for identifying the memory kernels in viscoelasticity. The corresponding direct problem is a boundary value problem for a half-infinite slab in with preseribed jumps of the solution and its time derivative at t = 0. The often treated initial-boundary value problem with vanishing solution for t t x = or , respectively. By Fourier transform the inverse problems lead to nonlinear Riemann-Hilbert problems on the real axis. Under suitable assumptions these nonlinear Riemann-Hilbert problems can be reduced to nonlinear equations for the Fourier transform of the solution via solving a related linear auxiliary Riemann-Hilbert problem.

TU BERGAKADEMIE FREIBERG Preprints Preprint WEGERT, E. WOLF, S. On the Numerical Solution of Nonlinear Riemann-Hilbert Problems .ps , 5M The present article is devoted to the investigation of several numerical methods for approximately solving nonlinear Riemann-Hilbert Problems. We compute the solution of a given Riemann-Hilbert Problem by means of an iteration process of Newton type. The linearization of the boundary condition yields a linear Riemann-Hilbert Problem at every step of iteration. For the solution of these linear Riemann-Hilbert Problems we compare several possibilities. The first method rests on a discretization of the analytic solution formula, the second one is related to Wegmann's discrete Riemann-Hilbert Problem, and the third one may be considered as a perturbed finite section method for an associated Toeplitz operator. While the first approach only needs the Fast Fourier Transform, the second and the third require the solution of Toeplitz systems. Here we used a Levinson and a Schur type algorithm. The perturbed finite section method is presented for the first time. We hope to establish a proof of its convergence in the future. Since we are interested in the limitations of the methods, we introduced a parameter

David Hilbert (1862-1943) Excerpt from Math Odyssey 2000 David Hilbert was born in Koenigsberg, East Prussia in 1862 and received his doctorate from his home town university in 1885. His knowledge of mathematics was broad and he excelled in most areas. His early work was in a field called the theory of algebraic invariants. In this subject his contributions equaled that of Eduard Study, a mathematician who, according to Hilbert, "knows only one field of mathematics." Next after looking over the work done by French mathematicians, Hilbert concentrated on theories involving algebraic and transfinite numbers. In 1899 he published his little book The Foundations of Geometry , in which he stated a set of axioms that finally removed the flaws from Euclidean geometry. At the same time and independently, the American mathematician Robert L. Moore (who was then 19 years old) also published an equivalent set of axioms for Euclidean geometry. Some of the axioms in both systems were the same, but there was an interesting feature about those axioms that were different. Hilbert's axioms could be proved as theorems from Moore's and conversely, Moore's axioms could be proved as theorems from Hilbert's. After these successes with the axiomatization of geometry, Hilbert was inspired to try to develop a program to axiomatize all of mathematics. With his attempt to achieve this goal, he began what is known as the "formalist school" of mathematics. In the meantime, he was expanding his contributions to mathematics in several directions partial differential equations, calculus of variations and mathematical physics. It was clear to him that he could not do all this alone; so in 1900, when he was 38 years old, Hilbert gave a massive homework assignment to all the mathematicians of the world.
