Miklós Laczkovich

Miklós Laczkovich (born 21 February 1948) is a Hungarian mathematician mainly noted for his work on real analysis and geometric measure theory.

[1] Laczkovich received his degree in mathematics in 1971 at Eötvös Loránd University, where he has been teaching ever since, currently leading the Department of Analysis.

He has held several guest professor positions in the UK, Canada, Italy and the United States.

One of his results is the solution of the Kemperman problem: if f is a real function which satisfies 2f(x) ≤ f(x + h) + f(x + 2h) for every h > 0, then f is monotonically increasing.

Laczkovich enjoys and performs classical music; he has been active in various choirs in the past decades.
