Sergey Vsevolodovich Yablonsky (Russian: Серге́й Все́володович Ябло́нский, December 6, 1924 – May 26, 1998) was a Soviet and Russian mathematician, one of the founders of the Soviet school of Mathematical Cybernetics and Discrete Mathematics. He is the author of a number of classic results on synthesis, reliability, and classification of control systems (Russian: Управляющие системы), the term used in the USSR and Russia for a generalization of finite state automata, Boolean circuits and multi-valued logic circuits. (The term is ambiguous, since conventionally in the West Control systems is understood as an Engineering discipline. The ambiguity stems from the fact that the names of the two disciplines that differ in Russian, namely Системы управления and Управляющие системы, are both translated into English as Control systems.)
S. V. Yablonsky is credited for helping to overcome the pressure from Soviet ideologists against the term and the discipline of Cybernetics and establishing...
