Stefano De Marchi (born 17 December 1962 in Candiana, Padua) is an Italian mathematician who works in numerical analysis and is a professor at the University of Padua.
He is managing editor of the open access journal Dolomites Research Notes on Approximation published by the Padua University Press, coordinator of the Constructive Approximation and Applications Research Group, coordinator of the Research Italian network on Approximation, and responsible for the Unione Matematica Italiana Thematic Group on "Approximation Theory and Applications (A.T.A.)".
Stefano De Marchi studied Bachelor's degree of Mathematics in 1981-1987, Master in Applied Mathematics in 1991 at the University of Padua, and received his doctorate in Computational Mathematics, Consorzio Nord-Orgientale, VI ciclo, University of Padua under Maria Morandi Cecchi and Larry Lee Schumaker supervisions (dissertation: Approssimazione e Interpolazione su "Simplices": Caratterizzazioni, Metodi ed Estensioni) He habilitated in 2017 and became a Full Professor of Numerical Analysis at the Department of Mathematics “Tullio Levi-Civita”, University of Padua in 2022.
Stefano has made contributions to approximation theory such as Weakly Admissible Meshes, Barycentric rational interpolation, Stability issues and greedy algorithms in RBF theory, Rational RBF approximation, Medical image reconstruction, and Fake nodes.
[2][3] He is also author of the books: ′′Funzioni Splines Univariate″,[4] ′′Appunti di Calcolo Numerico″,[5] ′′Meshfree Approximation for Multi-Asset European and American Option Problems″ [6] and the Lecture notes: ′′Four lectures on radial basis functions″ and '′Lectures on multivariate polynomial interpolation″.
