Biography

In 1962, Lindenstrauss earned his Ph.D. from the Hebrew University (dissertation: Extension of Compact Operators, advisors: Aryeh Dvoretzky, Branko Grünbaum).[2] He joined the faculty of the university in 1965 and worked in various areas of functional analysis and geometry.[3] His son Elon Lindenstrauss is also a mathematician.

Research

He is a namesake of the Johnson–Lindenstrauss lemma[3] and many theorems of Lindenstrauss: For example, in a Banach space with the Radon–Nikodym property, a closed and bounded set has an extreme point; compactness is not needed.[4]

Awards

In 1981, Lindenstrauss was awarded the Israel Prize, for mathematics.[5]
