Fritz Carlson

Template:Short description Template:Infobox scientist Fritz David Carlson (23 July 1888 – 28 November 1952) was a Swedish mathematician. After the death of Torsten Carleman, he headed the Mittag-Leffler Institute.

Carlson's contributions to analysis include Carlson's theorem, the Polyá–Carlson theorem on rational functions, and Carlson's inequality

${(\sum _{n=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}|a_n|)}^4\le {\pi }^2\sum _{n=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}|a_n{|}^2\sum _{n=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}{n}^2|a_n{|}^2.$

In number theory, his results include Carlson's theorem on Dirichlet series.

Hans Rådström, Germund Dahlquist, and Tord Ganelius were among his students.
