About this person

Ivo M. Babuška was a Czech-American mathematician, noted for his studies of the finite element method and the proof of the Babuška-Lax-Milgram theorem in partial differential equations. One of the celebrated results in the finite elements is the so-called Ladyzenskaja-Babuška-Brezzi (LBB) condition, which provides sufficient conditions for a stable mixed formulation. The LBB condition has guided mathematicians and engineers to develop state-of-the-art formulations for many technologically important problems like Darcy flow, Stokes flow, incompressible Navier-Stokes, and nearly incompressible elasticity.
