Discrete Optimization, Volume 5, Issue 2, Pages 145-562 (May 2008), In Memory of George B. Dantzig Summary:

  When George B. Dantzig died, the late Peter Hammer and Jon Lee (at the time editors of Discrete Optimization)
asked us to be Guest Editors of a memorial volume of the journal in memory of George. All of us were very fond of
George, and so we gladly accepted.
We put out a call for papers, and we also invited four papers from leading authorities surveying George’s
contributions in four fields:
1. Numerical optimization, by Philip Gill, Walter Murray, Michael Saunders, John Tomlin, and Margaret Wright.
2. Economics, by Kenneth Arrow.
3. Integer programming, by Martin Gr¨otschel and George Nemhauser.
4. The theory of computation, by Richard Karp.
We note that George had enormous impact on other areas of research as well. One example that was a life-long
interest of his, and where he made many advances, is stochastic optimization.
Our call for papers elicited many high-quality submissions. These were subject to the normal refereeing procedures
of the journal. Of these we accepted 26 papers in a wide variety of areas, which is a fitting tribute to the breadth of
George Dantzig’s own interests.
George Dantzig was clearly a giant influence on many aspects of Operations Research, and his death occasioned
many tributes and surveys of his work (see e.g. [1,2,6,7]). In view of this, here we will limit ourselves to a few
comments on our personal interactions with George.
