🕯 Dear Kyiv Polytechnics, on behalf of the staff of the Institute of Applied Systems Analysis, we express our deep sorrow over the loss of an outstanding cyberneticist Viktor Ivanovych Ivanenko.
Viktor Ivanovych Ivanenko - Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine, world-renowned scientist in the field of dynamics and synthesis of control systems, general decision theory and theory of controlled random processes.
He graduated from the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute in 1951. In 1956 he defended his PhD thesis and in 1968 his doctoral dissertation.
From 1956 to 1996 he worked at the Institute of Electrical Engineering and the Institute of Cybernetics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
In 1991, he founded a new department of mathematical modeling of economic systems at the Faculty of Management and Marketing of KPI, which he headed until 2003.
He was one of the founders of the Institute of Applied Systems Analysis of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. Since 1996, he has been a chief researcher at the Institute.
Since 1995, he has been a professor at the Department of Informatics at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.
He made a significant contribution to the development of the general theory of decision making and the theory of controlled random processes, in particular, he proposed statistical regularities describing statistically unstable random phenomena, the variational method and the method of monotone operators in the theory of control of systems with infinite-dimensional phase space.
He trained a large scientific school of 40 candidates and 10 doctors of physical, mathematical, technical and economic sciences. He is the author of more than 150 scientific papers and 7 monographs.
We express our deepest condolences to Viktor Ivanovych's family and colleagues. He will continue his high scientific and pedagogical mission in his students, books, and numerous scientific articles. May the outstanding scientist and educator Viktor Ivanovych Ivanenko be forever remembered.
Rector of the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, Scientific Director of the Institute of Applied Systems Analysis,
