Hideaki Kaneko, Professor of Mathematics

Brief Biography

I received my Ph.D. from Clemson University with a thesis entitled "Best Approximation in a Banach Space with Schauder Decompositions" under the supervision of Professor William H. Ruckle. Since then, I have written approximately sixty research papers in the areas of Approximation Theory, Fixed Point Theory, Integral Equations and Finite Element Methods (see below for selected recent publications). I worked in the area of discontinuous Galerkin method for a class of nonlinear heat conduction problems proposed on multi-layered materials as well as in the area of a posteriori error estimation of the hierarchical p-FEM for heat conduction problem. The research was supported under NASA grant- A Posteriori Error Analysis for Hierarchical Finite Element Method for Heat Conduction in Multi-Layered Plates (June 2004-June 2008). Currently, I am working in the area of wavelet applications to Integral Equations. I joined the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of Old Dominion University in '86.
