Sergio Campanato (17 February 1930  - 1 March 2005) was an Italian mathematician who studied the theory of regularity for elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations.

Career

He graduated in mathematics and physics at the University of Modena in the academic year 1952/54 with a thesis relating to the heat equation.[1] In 1956, he became an assistant to Enrico Magenes, with whom he worked on a problem of Picone relating to the equilibrium state of an elastic body, and on other differential equations related to electrostatics.

In 1964, he moved to the University of Pisa at the invitation of Alessandro Faedo, joining a group of mathematicians which included Aldo Andreotti, Jacopo Barsotti, Enrico Bombieri, Gianfranco Capriz, Ennio De Giorgi, Giovanni Prodi, Edoardo Vesentini, and Guido Stampacchia, with whom Campanato collaborated fruitfully.[2]

From 1975 until 2000 he taught Nonlinear Analysis at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. He died in Pisa on 1 March 2005.
