Gábor Szegö Prize

Established in 2011, the prize honors Gábor Szegö, a foremost mathematical analyst. It is awarded to one individual in their early career for outstanding research contributions in the area of orthogonal polynomials and special functions, as evidenced in publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Prize Description


Prize Description

The SIAM Activity Group on Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions (SIAG/OPSF) awards the Gábor Szegö Prize every two years to one individual in their early career for outstanding research contributions in the area of orthogonal polynomials and special functions.


Eligibility Criteria

The candidate must have no more than 10 years (full time equivalent) of involvement in mathematics since receiving their PhD at the award date, allowing for breaks in continuity. The prize committee can make exceptions, if in their opinion the candidate is at an equivalent stage in their career.

The candidate’s work must contain significant research contributions in the area of orthogonal polynomials and special functions. One key paper must be cited as evidencing the contributions, though a body of papers may be discussed in the nomination. The qualifying key paper must have been published in English in a peer-reviewed journal.
