Loève Prize
Encyclopedia
The Line and Michel Loève International Prize in Probability (Loève Prize) was created in 1992 in honor of Michel Loève
by his widow Line. The prize, awarded every two years, is intended to recognize outstanding contributions by researchers in mathematical probability who are under 45 years old. With a prize value of around $30,000 this is one of the most generous awards in any specific mathematical subdiscipline.
Michel Loève
Michel Loève was a French American probabilist and a mathematical statistician, of Palestinian Jewish origin. His name is known to probabilists and statisticians because of the Karhunen–Loève theorem and Karhunen–Loève transform.Michel Loève was born in Jaffa, Palestine in 1907, during the Ottoman...
