Professor Ivo Babuška, IACM Founding Member, April 12, 2023



We regret to inform you of the passing of Professor Ivo Babuška on April
12, 2023 at the age of 97.



Ivo made groundbreaking and sustained contributions in the fields of
mathematics, applied mathematics, numerical methods and computational
mechanics.  He is perhaps best known for the condition that bears his name,
the Ladyzhenskaya–Babuška–Brezzi or LBB condition, that provides sufficient
conditions for a stable mixed formulation.



Ivo was a regular participant in many IACM meetings and gatherings, and was
an IACM Founding Member in 1981.  Professor Babuška published more than 350
refereed journal articles and 26 books, working with close to 150
co-authors, including his 40 Ph.D. students.  His career is decorated by a
very long list of distinguished awards and honors from various societies.
These include, for example, the Birkhoff Prize (1994), the IACM Congress
Medal (Gauss Newton, 2006), and the AMS Leroy P. Steele Prize for Lifetime
Achievement (2012).



There is no doubt that while Ivo will be sorely missed, his many works will
continue to inspire computational mechanicians for generations to come.
