Wolfgang Doeblin is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Probability theory; Markov chains and Doeblin's condition
Wolfgang Doeblin was a German-French mathematician who made deep contributions to probability theory, including Doeblin's condition ensuring ergodicity of Markov chains and, in a sealed note opened only in 2000, an early form of the Itô formula. The son of novelist Alfred Döblin, his Jewish family fled Nazi Germany to France; he died a French soldier in 1940 to avoid capture. His work profoundly shaped modern probability.
