Biography edit

Garnik A. Karapetyan was born on February 3, 1958, in Gyumri, Armenia. In 1975–1980 he was studying at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, Yerevan State University and got the degree of Bachelor of Science, receiving a diploma with honors. From October, 1980 to April, 1983 he was doing his PhD thesis at the Department of Differential Equations and Functional Analysis, Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, YSU. In 1983 the pre-defense of PhD thesis took place. At that time he was working as an assistant at the Department of Numerical Analysis, Faculty of Applied Mathematics at the same university.

In 1987 he received the academic rank of docent (associate professor) at the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Modeling and in 1990–1994 he headed the Faculty of Informatics and Applied Mathematics as Deputy dean. In 1992 he was appointed Dean of the same Faculty. From 1994 to 2000 he was Scientific Secretary of the Faculty of Informatics and Applied Mathematics at Yerevan State University. Garnik A. Karapetyan often took part as a jury member at Mathematics Olympiads, and from 1997 to 1999 he was elected Chairman of the Mathematics Olympiad Committee of Armenia.

Later he was invited to another university in Yerevan, Armenia. From 2002 to May, 2018 he was Head of the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Modeling, Russian-Armenian University. In January, 2007 he defenced his PhD thesis at the Specialized Council in Mathematics, YSU, and further on, in 2008 he qualified Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Modeling, RAU. In 2008 Garnik A.Karapetyan received the title of Distinguished Professor at RAU. He continued his research in the related sphere and in 2008 he got the certificate of Doctor of Physico-mathematical Sciences in the Russian Federation and the academic rank of Professor of the Russian Federation. From 2008 to November, 2018 he was a member of the Scientific Council of RAU and that of Dissertation Council in Mathematics of the Republic of Armenia.

From 2015 to May, 2018 he was Deputy director of the Institute of Mathematics and High Technology of the same university. Later in 2015 to November, 2018 he also was Director of the Applied Mathematics and Informatics program, RAU. In 2017 Garnik A.Karapetyan was awarded an Anania Shirakatsi Medal.[1] From May, 2018 to November, 2018 when he died Garnik A.Karapetyan headed the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics at RAU being its Director.

Scientific activity edit

Main scientific papers are dedicated to differential equations, elliptic and hypoelliptic equations, the study of the properties of functions in different multianisotropic spaces, integral representations and embedding theorems for functions in multianisotropic spaces.
