MILLBURN, NJ, January 07, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Václav E. Beneš has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
In 1953 Mr. Beneš obtained a doctorate in philosophy from Princeton University on a problem in mathematical logic; in mathematics he is largely self-taught. He is the author of many numerous publications, among them two books, "General Stochastic Processes in the Theory of Queues" in 1963 and "Mathematical Theory of Connecting Networks and Telephone Traffic" in 1965, and many articles for such journals as Philosophical Studies, Bell System Technical Journal, Applied Optics, and Stochastics.
For more than 35 years, Mr. Beneš did research as a member of the technical staff of Bell Telephone Laboratories Inc., now known as Nokia Bell Labs. His work first focused on telephone traffic theory, then branched out to other areas, most of which also involved probability theory, among them signal detection, stochastic control, optimal filtering, and underwater sound. Mr. Beneš introduced important concepts in queueing theory (a branch of mathematics that studies how lines form, how they function, and why they malfunction), and the Benes Networks (graphs used in making permutations in communications switching.) In stochastic control, he was one of the first theorists to find finite-dimensional filters for non-linear systems.
Furthermore, Mr. Beneš has served on the faculties of Dartmouth College, Columbia University in New York, the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, Princeton University, and the University of California Berkeley. He was elected as an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) fellow in 1991 for his contributions to the structure of telephone connecting networks and stochastic control. In 2001, Mr. Benes was honored by Columbia University with the Benešfest on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
Mr. Beneš has been also active as an avid mountain climber and a member of the American Alpine Club. He has also been a fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). Citing perseverance and the climate at Bell Labs as the reasons for his accomplishments, he considers making systematic use of the Cameron-Martin-Girsanov transformation to be his most notable professional achievement. Currently, Mr. Beneš continues his mathematical research studies on problems involving partial information, control, and stopping options.
