Arnold's Problems

The present title comprises the problems that have been posed by Vladimir Igorevich Arnold during a period of over 40 years. This is principally a fairly complete list of problems presented by him at his seminar on the theory of singularities of differentiable mappings, twice a year at the beginning of each academic term. (This famous seminar has been working at the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University for over 30 years and deserves the title of one of the leading World centers of mathematical science.) In addition, there are problems published by Vladimir Igorevich in his numerous papers and books. It is clear, however, that not all Arnold's problems have been collected so far, and we would be grateful to those readers who will report to us any problems not appearing in the present list.

The numbering mode is double — a problem's number includes the year when the problem was formulated, and then its ordinal within that year.

You may download the formulations of these problems for each year in PDF format by clicking the corresponding link in the table below.
