Kenneth John Falconer FRSE (born 25 January 1952) is an English mathematician working in mathematical analysis and in particular on fractal geometry. He is Regius Professor of Mathematics in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St Andrews. His recreational interests include long-distance walking and hill walking. He was chair of the Long Distance Walkers Association from 2000–03 and editor of their journal Strider from 1987–92 and 2007-12. In 2021 he was appointed a Vice President of the LDWA. He has twice climbed all the Munros as well as all the Corbetts.

  • كينيث فالكونر (بالإنجليزية: Kenneth Falconer)‏ هو أستاذ جامعي ورياضياتي بريطاني، ولد في 25 يناير 1952 في قصر هامبتون كورت في المملكة المتحدة. (ar)
  • Kenneth John Falconer (* 1952) ist ein britischer Mathematiker, der sich vor allem mit fraktaler Geometrie, geometrischer Maßtheorie und kombinatorischer Geometrie befasst. Er ist Professor an der Universität St. Andrews. 2018 wurde er in der Nachfolge von Igor Rivin zum Regius Professor of Mathematics berufen. Falconer studierte an der Universität Cambridge, an der er 1979 bei promoviert wurde (Properties of Convex Sets and Functions Determined by Sectional Integrals). Er war Lecturer und Reader an der University of Bristol, bevor er 1993 Professor in St. Andrews wurde. Er befasst sich mit geometrischen Eigenschaften (wie Werte der Dimension) fraktalen Mengen, wie sie z. B. in dynamischen Systemen auftreten. 1987 schlug er die Existenz einer digitalen Sonnenuhr (Digital Sundial) vor, Mengen, die Projektionen in jede Richtung zulassen (von Ian Stewart popularisiert). Er untersuchte Zufallsprozesse (wie Perkolation) und nichtlineare partielle Differentialgleichungen auf Fraktalen. Die ungelöste Vermutung von Falconer besagt: hat eine kompakte Teilmenge S des d-dimensionalen euklidischen Raumes einer Hausdorff-Dimension größer als , dann hat die Menge der Abstände von Punkten in S positives Lebesguemaß. 1999 organisierte er ein mehrmonatiges Programm über Fraktale am Isaac Newton Institute. Er war unter anderem Gastprofessor an der Oregon State University und der Australian National University. 1998 wurde er Fellow der Royal Society of Edinburgh. Er ist Mitherausgeber von Advances in Mathematics und Fractals. (de)
  • Kenneth John Falconer FRSE (born 25 January 1952) is an English mathematician working in mathematical analysis and in particular on fractal geometry. He is Regius Professor of Mathematics in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St Andrews. He is known for his work on the mathematics of fractals and in particular sets and measures arising from iterated function systems, especially self-similar and self-affine sets. Closely related is his research on Hausdorff and other fractal dimensions. He formulated Falconer's conjecture on the dimension of distance sets and conceived the notion of a digital sundial. In combinatorial geometry he established a lower bound of 5 for the chromatic number of the plane in the Lebesgue measurable case. Falconer was born at Bearsted Memorial Maternity Hospital outside Hampton Court Palace. He was educated at Kingston Grammar School, Kingston upon Thames and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. He graduated in 1974 and completed his PhD in 1979 under the supervision of Hallard Croft. He was a research fellow at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge from 1977–1980 before moving to Bristol University. He was appointed Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of St Andrews in 1993 and was head of the School of Mathematics and Statistics from 2001-2004. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1998. He served on the council of the London Mathematical Society from 2000-2009 including as publications secretary from 2006-2009. In 2020 he was awarded the Shephard Prize of the London Mathematical Society. His recreational interests include long-distance walking and hill walking. He was chair of the Long Distance Walkers Association from 2000–03 and editor of their journal Strider from 1987–92 and 2007-12. In 2021 he was appointed a Vice President of the LDWA. He has twice climbed all the Munros as well as all the Corbetts. (en)
