Volodymyr Korolyuk belongs to the mathematical record as a figure whose results outlasted the problems that prompted them.
The record lists Volodymyr Korolyuk as Ukrainian mathematician (1925–2020).
Volodymyr Korolyuk was born at Kyiv in 1925. His recorded nationality is Russia. He studied at Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at Institute of Mathematics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
The recorded fields of work are probability theory and mathematical statistics.
Mathematics is the one discipline whose results, once proved, are never overturned.
Recognition followed: State Prize of Ukraine in Science and Technology, Order of Friendship of Peoples, M. M. Krylov Prize of the NAS of Ukraine and State Prize of Ukrainian SSR in Science and Technology (1978).
That the work was done from Russia matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Volodymyr Korolyuk died in 2020, aged 95. The proofs remain, and a proof does not decay - which is the particular permanence mathematics offers.
