Dmitriy Leykekhman

Dmitriy Leykekhman is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Connecticut, affiliated with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on Applied Mathematics, Numerical Analysis, and Partial Differential Equations, with a particular emphasis on finite element methods, optimal control problems, and error estimation. He holds academic positions at both the Storrs and Avery Point campuses, with offices in MONT 328 and Marine Science 190 respectively.

His research interests span numerical analysis of PDEs, including studies on conformal fractals, fractional Laplacians, and non-smooth optimal control problems. He has contributed to advancing discrete maximal regularity, weak maximum principles, and pointwise error estimates in finite element discretizations. His work intersects with fluid dynamics through analyses of Stokes equations and transient flows. Recent studies include investigations into Apollonian gaskets, Hausdorff dimension estimates, and sparse initial data identification for parabolic systems.

Leykekhman’s publications reflect a deep engagement with both theoretical and applied aspects of numerical methods. He has explored topics ranging from Galerkin solutions of transient Stokes problems to local energy estimates in fractional calculus. His work emphasizes rigorous mathematical foundations while addressing practical computational challenges in engineering and physics applications.
