Numan Yunusovich Satimov

He was born in December 15, 1939[4] in the city of Andijan in a working-class family.

In 1956, entered the Central Asian State University at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics. In 1958, he continued his studies at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University named after M. V. Lomonosov. After graduating from the university in 1962, he entered graduate school at The Uzbek Academy of Sciences' Romanovsky Institute[5] of Mathematics, from 1965 to 1968 he worked there as a junior research fellow.[6]

In 1968, under the guidance of Professor V. G. Boltyansky, he defended his candidate thesis. In 1977, under the guidance of Professor E. F. Mischenko, he defended his doctoral dissertation (at the specialized council of Steklov Institute of Mathematics). In 1978, he was awarded the title of professor. In 1979, he became a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, in 2000 – academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Since 1968, working in Tashkent State University. Since 1971, Professor Satimov – Head of the Department at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics of NUUz. From 1974 to 1976, he worked as a senior research fellow at Steklov Institute of Mathematics, and after returning continued to head the Department. From 1985 to 1987 he was a dean of the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics. Since 2000, he was a leading researcher at The Uzbek Academy of Sciences' Romanovsky Institute of Mathematics.[7]

He died on September 22, 2006 and was buried at the Chagatai cemetery in Tashkent.

The main works are written in the field of the theory of differential equations, control theory and their applications. He founded the Tashkent Scientific School on the theory of controls and differential games. He led the research seminar “Optimal processes and differential games” organized by him for over 35 years.

A textbook on differential equations, 2 monographs[8][9] has been written, more than 180 scientific papers have been published, most of which have been translated and published in US and UK journals. Under his guidance, eight doctoral and more than twenty master's theses were prepared.[10]

Since 1970, he was engaged in a new section of the theory of controlled processes – the theory of differential pursuit-evasion games. In particular, attention was paid to the development of L. S. Pontryagin's methods. As a result of the study, the so-called third (modified) method for solving the problem of persecution was proposed, which was further strengthened by himself.
