90th anniversary of Vladimir Logvinovich Rvacheva -famous Ukrainian mathematician, mechanical engineer and cybernetics dedicated.
Introduction. Papers [1, 2] have previously been described by the author of a number of portraits of the outstanding mathematicians of Kharkiv - Ukrainian Soviet and Russian academics Pogorelov A.V., Marchenko V.A and Sadovnichy V.A., as well as a correspondent member of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences Akhiezer N.I., which became in the second half of the 20th and early 21st century, the personification of intellectual image of Kharkiv, and close to many of us Slobozhanshina region. The continuation of this academic «mathematical» a number of prominent Russian scientists, mathematicians for such leading scientific and educational centers of Ukraine as Kharkiv, certainly is and our illustrious compatriot - Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Prof., Academician of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (NASU) Vladimir Logvinovich Rvachev [3].
His basic mature creative, scientific and educational life he spent in the «walls» of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering Problems (IPMach) named after Academician NASU A.N. Podgorny and Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute (KhPI). Author in 1976 while studying at postgraduate KhPI was fortunate to attend a
course of lectures on applied mathematics and foundations of the so-called R-functions performed by this well-known mathematician and an excellent teacher. Remembering with a share of nostalgia that «golden» period of scientific research, the requirements of the many manifestations of extremism in their youth, creative hobbies and education, I can say that the empty seats in the classroom in the classroom scientist-maitre V.L. Rvachev usually not. These sessions aim to proactively attend professional development of young professionals and other leading universities of Kharkiv. It is time to his many disciples and who knew this remarkable Kharkiv mathematics experts from other fields of scientific activities to acquaint the general reader with this significant for the domestic and international public research and the human figure. So try in the form of short scientific and historical essay on the basis of scientific papers by Rvachev V.L. known literary sources, materials Museum KhPI, photographs from the family archive of our illustrious scientist and information from the Internet to «draw» a portrait of this extraordinary personality with a description of its major outstanding scientific results in the field of applied mathematics, mechanical engineer and mathematical physics.

1. The main stages of the life and career of the Kharkiv academic mathematician. Born Rvachev V.L. (Fig. 1) October 21, 1926 in Chigirin (Cherkasy region) in a family of teachers [3, 4]. After graduating from high school in the difficult years of the Second World War, he worked as an apprentice turner at the «Tashselmash» (Tashkent). In 1944 he was called to serve in the Navy of the USSR. After demobilization in 1947 he entered the Physics and Mathematics of Lviv University named after Franko. In 1952 Rvachev V.L. graduated from a higher educational institution of the USSR (Fig. 2).

Outstanding Soviet Ukrainian mathematics, mechanical engineer and cybernetics, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Prof., Academician of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (NASU), laureate of the State Prize of the USSR in the field of Science and Technology, Honored Worker of Science and Technology, an honorary doctor of NTU «KhPI» and other universities Vladimir Logvinovich Rvachev (1926-2005) [4]
By the way, in the 4th year of the above university, he was a scholar of Stalin [4]. After graduating from the University of Lviv named after Franko and being already married to his classmate Irina Konstantinova Semiray full of creative plans Rvachev V.L. again in the ranks of the Soviet Navy, working as a lieutenant of the Soviet Navy senior lecturer at the Naval Academy (Pushkino, Leningrad region) [3, 4]. Despite these harsh
circumstances of life, in 1955, he successfully defended his thesis on «The calculation of the infinite beam lying on an elastic foundation» (supervisor Prof. M.J. Leonov) and becomes Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences [3, 4]. For family reasons (because of the urgent need to change the climate for the wife) Rvachev V.L.
and Rvacheva I.K. in 1955 moved to the warm Sea of Azov, and both are teachers of the department of higher mathematics in Berdyansk Pedagogical Institute [3, 4].
It is believed that in the initial period of the life and scientific formation of Rvachev V.L. Berdyansk is a period (1955-1963), his life and scientific activity proved to be a most vivid and fruitful [5-10]. In 1960, he successfully defended at the Institute of Mechanics of the USSR Academy of Sciences doctoral thesis on «The spatial contact problem of elasticity theory and some of its applications» [3, 4]. It is believed that in the final moment of preparation for the defense of the scientific work on mechanics, he «went to the main result of his future mathematical discoveries» [4]. Opening concerned special R-functions («Rvachev functions»), solves the problem of taking into account a complex geometric configuration (information) for any technical object during analysis. Basic scientific work at it for a fundamentally new direction in mathematics - the theory R-functions became his short article [11].

In 1963, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Prof. Rvachev V.L. was invited to work at the Kharkiv Institute of Mining Engineering, Automation and Computer Engineering (in the near future, the Kharkiv Institute of Radio Electronics - KhIRE) to head the Department of Computational Mathematics [3, 4]. Beginning of Kharkiv period (1963-2005) work for Rvachev V.L. (Fig. 3) coincided with a period of rapid development in the Soviet Union cybernetics and

computer science. In this regard, Rvachev V.L. boundary value problems of mechanics began to consider since the common position of the theory of science. That is why his attention was drawn to the problem of geometrical information specific to a broad class of optimization problems and mathematical physics solved with the help of computers - computers [3]. It is believed that the mathematical theory R-functions proposed Rvachev V.L., originated at the crossroads of the classical methods of applied mathematics, cybernetics and methods of mathematical logic [3, 4].

(third from right) before flying out of the airport of Paris home after successful participation in the International Conference on Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics (1966) [4]
Heading 1967 Department of Applied Mathematics and Computational Methods in IPMach of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Prof. Rvachev V.L. (Fig. 4), together with colleagues in the period 1960 - 1980 is developing the mathematical apparatus of the theory of R-functions [12-19].
Developing the theory R- functions Rvachev V.L. drew particular attention to the constructive means of its implementation. It is the lack of such structural funds so long restrained use of classical variational methods for constructing explicitly coordinate functions exactly satisfy the given boundary conditions for the areas of complex geometrical shape [3, 4]. Rvachev V.L. together with their students through constructive theory of R-functions of functions we have developed a common approach to the problem of constructing coordinate sequences known for the main variation and projection methods [20]. At the same time it was the decision of problems of mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics and mathematical physics with boundary conditions of various types for almost any form fields [20]. Mathematical R-functions method in the future was a universally recognized abbreviation RFM [4].

Podgorny, discuss the achievements of the USSR Academician V.L. Rvachev (far right) and his students in the development and practical application of a mathematical apparatus of R-functions in mechanics cybernetics, thermal physics, electrodynamics, radio physics and other technical applications (1985, Kharkiv) [4]
In 1969, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Prof. Rvachev V.L. was invited by the rector of KhPI Prof. Semko M.F. to head the department on the theoretical and mathematical physics at the permanent place of his work in IPMach of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences [4]. During this time period, the search for effective organization of the numerical solution of boundary value problems of mathematical physics led Rvachev V.L. to understand the need to create a new programming technology [3]. In 1970, under his supervision in the department of applied mathematics and computational methods IPMach of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences started work on the creation of the first version of automated programming systems family «Field» [3, 4]. In the future, by these institutions in the system «field» become instrumental base for numerical experiments and solve many practical problems, freeing mathematicians and engineers in various fields from the programming process [3].
1972, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Prof. Rvachev V.L. was elected as
Corresponding Member of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, and in 1978 - full member of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences [3, 4]. In 1980, for the development, creation and implementation of the national economy of the theory functions R-functions group of authors of employees IPMach of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences as part Rvachev V.L. (head of investigations) and his disciples Stoyan Y.G., Protsenko V.S., Manko G.P., Slesarenko A.P., Shejko T.I. and Sinekop N.S. was awarded the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology [3, 4]. We point out that the results of studies by Rvachev V.L. On the supply side, and he adjusted his students to use in practice, the mathematical method R-functions (RFM) for the period of his active work are reflected in more than 350 [3]. The author also

because of the limited scope of this essay is only referred to their score. These must include at least another two monographs by the Academician of the NASU V.L. Rvachev defining certain stages and development perspectives in science «Rvachev functions». It is published in Ukraine following books: in 1967
«Geometric applications of algebra of logic» [21] and in 1974, «Methods of the algebra of logic in mathematical physics» [22].
In my opinion, one of the main factors that led it our hero scientist in mathematical discovery of special R-functions features is the fact that this man had an encyclopedic knowledge. He was the highest expert not only in terms of pure mathematics, and engineering cybernetics (the science of the laws governing the management processes and information transfer machines [23]), as well as classical mechanics, mathematical physics and mathematical logic (Boolean algebra, based on logical operations Similar actions on sets [23]). It is a synthesis of these unique abilities and knowledge, focusing it, and brought Rvachev V.L. to consider opening. Needs practice in solving complex scientific and technical problems in these areas of knowledge and skill of Rvachev V.L. in a complex cover such problems, and brought him to the scientific insight - creation theory of R-functions.
October 21, 1986 the academic community of Kharkov and the whole of our country celebrated the 60th anniversary of the outstanding scientist of our time, academician of the USSR Vladimir Logvinovich Rvachev, held at his place of work in the long at his native IPMach of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (Fig. 5).

3. The scientific school of Kharkiv academic mathematician. The data presented in Section 2, it follows that the main scientific development scientist and mathematician Rvachev V.L. he created a mathematical theory R-functions with its numerous technical applications [3, 4, 42]. Due to the complex work carried out under the supervision of Academician V.L. Rvachev for a number of decades in IPMach of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (NASU), NTU «KhPI», KhIRE, KHAI and towards the development and practical application of the method of R-functions (RFM), it was formed by a recognized scientific school in the world [3, 4]. Below in Fig. 8-12 shows some of the scientists who formed the «backbone» of the scientific school. At the beginning of the 21st century, this scientific school has 22 doctors of technical and physical and mathematical sciences and 70 candidates of physical and mathematical sciences [4, 42]. Among the talented scientists and students of Academician of the NASU V.L. Rvachev. There are two corresspondent members of the NASU - E. Alexander Evgenievich Bozhko and Yuri Grigorievich Stoyan working now in IPMach NASU [4, 41].

One of his students, Prof. D.Sc. Lytvyn Oleg Nikolaevich won the prestigious awards named after Academician V.M. Glushkov and Academician M.V. Ostrogradskii of the NASU [41, 42]. Another of his disciple, D.Sc. Viktor Filippovich Kravchenko became honored worker of science and technology of the Russian Federation [43]. Section 1 has been given the names of six scientists and students from IPMach of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, which became in 1980 the winners of the State Prize of Ukraine in science and technology. Many of the students Rvachev V.L. or head of the department was headed by education in high schools of Kharkov and other cities of Ukraine (for example, B.N. Borisenko, V.P. Buzko, V.N. Verzhikovsky, I.V. Goncharyuk, V.D. Kozhukhov, L.V. Kurpa, L.N. Kutsenko, O.N. Litvin, V.S. Protsenko, N.S. Sinekop, I.B. Sirodzha, V.P. Fedko, Yu.P. Shabanov-Kushnarenko, T.I. Shejko, L.I. Shklyarov, A.V. Shmatko et al.) [4, 43].
4. Features of the personality and lifestyle of the Kharkiv academic mathematician. What was Vladimir Logvinovich outside his research interests and work? From the memoirs of his students to be their teacher, «was the epitome of Kindness and Love to the people» [42]. This smart, educated and talented man, a mathematician who became a world scale, organically embodied and connected scruples, compassion and the ability to assist the other person, the ability to enjoy other people's success and ability in science mentoring [4, 42]. They, has seen a lot in his life and in his youth passed through many sufferings and deprivations during the 1930s (because of the contrived political reasons for the arrest, conviction and subsequent to the end of his rehabilitation courageous parents), brought up a whole generation of scientists and mathematicians who called themselves «rvachevites» and proud of this title [4]. While on vacation, or at home, it is as a «workaholic», firmly adhered to the rules worked out over the years, «least one hour to devote scientific work at least one page
a day to write about the results of the research» [4]. Mathematics was, as they say in «blood» family of Rvachev: his parents Logwin Fedorovich and Ksenia Alekseevna were school teacher of mathematics, Sister Catherine Logvinovna, having a hard way of life, it has become a well-known scientist-mathematician (one of the first in the USSR women-coder and corresponding member of the NASU) and wife Irina Konstantinova (Fig. 13), which became a 1952 teacher of mathematics in the higher school of the USSR and reliable support in the life of Vladimir Logvinovich [4, 41]. Together with her and her children - a son Valery and a daughter Irina they deserve «passed through life, enduring all the joys and sorrows» [4, 42].
In [4, 42] worthy and faithful disciple of Academician of the NASU V.L. Rvachev, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Prof., Head of the department of applied mathematics NTU «KhPI» Lidia Vasilievna Kurpa wrote about his teacher the following remarkable words: «... members of the Polytechnic University will always keep the memory of this talented Scientist, great Teachers and outstanding Person».
