David Egorovich Dolidze (Georgian: დავით დოლიძე, Russian: Давид Егорович Долидзе) (2 February [O.S. 20 January] 1908 – 1960) was a Georgian and Soviet mathematician, known from his work in the mathematical theory of fluid motion. In particular he rediscovered an important uniqueness theorem for the classical solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations for an incompressible fluid, previously proved by Emanuele Foà.

Life and academic career

Born on 2 February 1908 in the village of Buknari, He graduated from Tbilisi State University in 1928. From 1934 he started working in his Alma Mater, and one year later, in 1935, he also started doing research at the Mathematics Institute of the Georgian Academy of Science. In 1945 he earned both the Doktor Nauk degree and the title of professor.
