Boris Samuel Mityagin (Борис Самуилович Митягин, born 12 August 1937, Voronezh)birth and career data from American Men and Women of Science, Thomson Gale 2004 is a Russian-American mathematician.
Mityagin received in 1961 his candidate degree (Ph.D.) under Georgiy Shilov at the Moscow State University and in 1963 his Russian doctorate (higher doctoral degree). He was a researcher at the Central Economic Mathematical Institute of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. In 1979 he became a professor at Ohio State University.
His research deals with functional analysis and mathematical physics (spectra of Schrödinger and Dirac operators).
In 1966 in Moscow he was (with A. Pełczyński) an Invited Speaker of the ICM.
In 1960 he received the prize of the Moscow Mathematical Society. In 2013 he was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.List of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society http://www.ams.org/cgi-bin/fellows/fellows.cgi#m
