The award will be presented to Professor Srivastava and his colleagues on January 5, 2022, at the Joint Mathematics Convention in Seattle, which is billed as the world's largest mathematics meeting.
Prof. Srivastava has already received three major awards: the George Polya Prize in 2014, the Held Prize in 2021, and the Ciprian Foias Prize this year.
The award was established in 2020 to honour Ciprian Foias, an outstanding professor of Operator Theory and fluid dynamics.
The current prize is $5,000, which is awarded every three years.
