Shoshana Kamin (Russian: Шошана Камин, Hebrew: פרופ' שושנה קמין‎), born Susanna L'vovna Kamenomostskaya (Russian: Сусанна Львовна Каменомостская), is a Soviet-born Israeli mathematician, working on the theory of parabolic partial differential equations and related mathematical physics problems.

Biography and work

Shoshana Kamin received her PhD in Moscow University under the supervision of Olga Oleinik.[1] She left the Soviet Union in the early 1970, becoming professor in Tel Aviv University,[2] where she is now professor emeritus.[3]

In the late 1950's, she gave the first proof of the existence and uniqueness of the generalized solution of the three-dimensional Stefan problem.[4] Her proof was generalised by Oleinik.[5]

Later, she made important contributions to the study of the porous medium equation,[6]

\partial_t u = \Delta_x u^m, \,\, m > 1, \,

and to non-linear elliptic equations.[7]
