Finnish mathematician (1873–1949)
Karl F. Sundman.
Karl Frithiof Sundman (28 October 1873, in
Kaskinen – 28 September 1949, in
Helsinki ) was a
Finnish
mathematician
[1] who used analytic methods to prove the existence of a convergent
infinite series solution to the
three-body problem in two papers published in 1907
[2] and 1909.
[3] His results gained fame when they were reproduced in
Acta Mathematica in 1912.
[4] He also published a paper on
regularization methods in
mechanics in 1912.
Awards, recognition
Sundman was awarded the Pontécoulant prize by the
French Academy of Science in 1913 for this work.
[1] In 1908 Sundman was elected member of the
Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters
[5] and in 1947 foreign member of the
Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences .
[6] The crater
Sundman on the
Moon is named after him, as is the asteroid
1424 Sundmania .
