Salomon, amerikanischer Mathematiker russischer Herkunft, * Moskau 3. 9. 1884, ✝ Princeton (N. J.) 6. 10. 1972; nach Studium in Paris und Tätigkeit in der Industrie 1925-53 als Professor für Mathematik in Princeton. Lefschetz leistete bedeutende Beiträge zur algebraischen Geometrie und Topologie sowie zur Fixpunkttheorie, weiterhin zur nichtlinearen Mechanik, Kontrolltheorie, zur Theorie der Differenzialgleichungen und zur Theorie dissipativer Systeme. Er war darüber hinaus maßgeblich am Ausbau der Mathematik in den USA beteiligt.
