Harold J. Kushner is an American applied mathematician and a Professor Emeritus of Applied Mathematics at Brown University. He is known for his work on the theory of stochastic stability (based on the concept of supermartingales as Lyapunov functions), the theory of non-linear filtering (based on the Kushner equation), and for the development of numerical methods for stochastic control problems (so-called Markov chain approximation method).
Harold Kushner received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin in 1958.
Awards and honors
