Leummim Yao

Dr. Leummim Yao is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics and Physics at Grambling State University (GSU), located in Grambling, Louisiana. He is affiliated with Carver Hall, Room 269, and can be contacted via phone at 318-274-2465.

Dr. Yao holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (1995). His research focuses on Dynamical Systems, Control Theory, and Optimal Control of Partial Differential Equations. He explores the Maximum Number of Limit Cycles in Polynomial Lienard Systems (linked to Hilbert’s 16th Problem) and bridges gaps between necessary/sufficient conditions for Optimal Control Solutions using the Pontryagin Maximum Principle.

He teaches a broad range of mathematics courses, including College Algebra, Calculus, Real Analysis, Differential Equations, and Control Theory. No specific grants, awards, or publications are listed in the provided text.
