Georges Giraud (11 July 1889 – 16 March 1943) was a French mathematician, working in potential theory, partial differential equations, singular integrals and singular integral equations: he is mainly known for his solution of the regular oblique derivative problem and also for his extension to 
-dimensional (≥2) singular integral equations of the concept of symbol of a singular integral, previously introduced by Solomon Mikhlin.[1] He was elected corresponding member of the French Academy of Sciences in 1936,[2] while he was a member of the Société Mathématique de France from 1913 to his death.[3]

Notes
- ^ He announced his result in the short communication Giraud 1936, without proof and aknowledging the previous work of Mikhlin. As a matter of fact, it was Mikhlin who gave the first proofs of these formulas, completing his work on the 2-dimensional theory: see the reference Mikhlin 1965, p. 9 or the entry "Singular integrals" for a comprehensive historical survey.

In this short note, Giraud extends (without proof) the formula for the composition of two 2-dimensional singular integral operators using their symbols, introduced shortly before by Solomon Grigor'evich Mikhlin, to higher dimensional singular integrals.
