Differential operators

Marchenko made fundamental contributions to the analysis of the Sturm–Liouville operators. He introduced one of the approaches to the inverse scattering problem for Sturm–Liouville operators, and derived what is now called the Marchenko equation. Random matrices

Together with Leonid Pastur, Volodymyr Marchenko discovered the Marchenko–Pastur law in random matrix theory. Homogenization

Together with E. Ya. Khruslov, Marchenko authored one of the first mathematical books on homogenization. Integrable systems
