Johann Karl August Radon was an Austrian mathematician, born on 16 December 1887 and died on 25 May 1956. His doctoral dissertation, presented in 1910 at the University of Vienna, was on the calculus of variations. The calculus of variations is the branch of analysis that seeks functions which make a quantity such as a length, an area or an energy as small or as large as possible, and it was the starting point of a career in analysis and geometry spent largely in the Austrian and German mathematical world.

Lebesgue-Stieltjes integrals, named for Henri Leon Lebesgue and Thomas Joannes Stieltjes, are also known as Lebesgue-Radon integrals or just Radon integrals, after Johann Radon, to whom much of the theory is due. They find common application
