David Pinhusovich Milman (Template:Lang-ru; 15 January 1912, Chichelnik near Vinnytsia – 12 July 1982, Tel Aviv) was a Soviet and later Israeli mathematician specializing in functional analysis.[1] He was one of the major figures of the Soviet school of functional analysis. In the 70s he emigrated to Israel and was on the faculty of Tel Aviv University.
Milman is known for his development of functional analysis methods, particularly in operator theory, in close connection with concrete problems coming from mathematical physics, in particular differential equations and normal modes.
Milman received his Ph.D. from Odessa State University in 1939 under direction of Mark Krein. The Krein–Milman theorem about convexity is named after both of them.
He is the father to mathematicians: Vitali Milman and Pierre Milman.
