Nicola Fusco

Italian mathematician

Nicola Fusco (born August 14, 1956 in Napoli) is an Italian mathematician[1] mainly known for his contributions to the fields of calculus of variations, regularity theory of partial differential equations, and the theory of symmetrization. He is currently professor at the Università di Napoli "Federico II". Fusco also taught and conducted research at the Australian National University at Canberra, the Carnegie Mellon University at Pittsburgh and at the University of Florence.
