George B. Dantzig and systems optimization

Abstract

We pay homage to George B. Dantzig by describing a less well-known part of his legacy -his early and dedicated championship of the importance of systems optimization in solving complex real-world problems.

Bernoulli Time Series Modelling with Application to Accommodation Tourism Demand

“…This debate should always be based on robustness criteria, which implies sensitivity to changes in specific factors to be tested and insensitive to changes in outliers in practice. The work developed is in the context of uncertainty, and this work has been a contribution to a real forecasting problem [33].…”

A systematic method to estimate and validate enthalpies of formation using error-cancelling balanced reactions

“…Linear programming. Linear programming is a constrained optimisation technique [89,90,91]. It was used in this work to identify possible EBRs fullling the constraints dened by the chosen reaction class.…”

“…Problem. The problem of identifying a possible EBR can be dened by applying the general linear objective function [89,90,91]. In this work it is dened by,…”

Advances in Integrated and Sustainable Supply Chain Planning

“…The military refer as a program to their various plans or proposed schedules of training, logistical supply and deployment of combat units. George B. Dantzig, who was a mathematical advisor to the US Air Force controller in the Pentagon and the inventor of the Simplex method in 1947, was the first using the linear programming term (Gill et al 2008). Later on, at the early 1950s many optimization subfields were collected under the term mathematical programming.…”
