"February 16th Science and Technology Prize", the top national science and technology award in the DPRK was awarded to PhD and associate professor Kim Jin Myong, head of the Analytics Department of Mathematics Faculty, to PhD and associate professor Ju Hyon Hui, PhD Choe Kyu Song and PhD Ri Ung Hun, the lecturers at the Mathematics Faculty and to Rim Chang Il, the vice dean of the Mathematics Faculty and to Ri Yong Sop, the head of Elasto-Plastic Mechanics Department of Mechanics Faculty.
Kim Jin Myong and his research team conducted researches on structure function spaces and harmonic analysis and published 12 research papers in prestigious academic journals making a great contribution to the development of mathematics.
Kim Jin Myong, head of the Analytics Department was the first to solve open problems relating to operator-valued Fourier multiplier theorems on function spaces and global estimates of oscillatory integral and published their research results in several academic journals on mathematics including German journal "Math.Nachr" and Austrian journal "Monatsh.Math".
Ju Hyon Hui solved the problem of relationship between geometric horseshoe and turbulence property of Block-Coppel and published its result in an American journal "Chaos, Solitons and Fractals".
Choe Kyu Song and Rim Chang Il solved the problem of global time-space estimates of oscillatory integral whose phase function is degenerated and Ri Ung Hun proposed the method of construction of subfactor.
Ri Yong Sop, head of Elasto-Plastic Mechanics Department, solved the new scientific and technological problem of dramatically increasing power production by operating the electric generators at thermal power stations at full capacity.
The prizewinners of "February 16th Science and Technology Prize" and all the other teachers and students of the university are determined to be true to the Party's idea of attaching importance to science and technology and be stand bearers of the campaign to break through the cutting edge.
