Dear Guest!

O.M. Sharkovsky died on 21 November 2022 in the Feofaniya Clinical Hospital in Kyiv.

O.M. Sharkovsky's latest book "Sharkovsky Ordering" and the most recent paper "Locally maximal attractors of expanding dynamical systems" (in Ukrainian)
and the previous one "Descriptive Theory of Deterministic Chaos" in English and Ukrainian are available at the links.

The latest issue of Ukrainian Mathematical Journal (Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal) Vol 76 No 1 (2024) dedicated to sixty years of the famous Sharkovsky’s theorem can be found here.
The issue of Ukrainian Mathematical Journal (Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal) Vol 75 No 12 (2023) dedicated to O.M.Sharkovsky can be found here.

His family, friends, and colleagues plan to collect and create an electronic book with memories of Oleksandr Mykolayovych Sharkovsky.
Perhaps you have a story about Oleksandr Mykolayovych that you would like to tell.

If you have the opportunity, you can send your story and some photos to sharkovsky.memories@gmail.com.

The memorial page was placed on the Institute of Mathematics site where you can leave condolences and share memories.


Please let us know if you have any questions using the email address above.
Thank you so much for your attention.
