History of Convexity and Mathematical Programming: Connections and Relationships in Two Episodes of Research in Pure and Applied Mathematics of the 20th Century

Proceedings of the International Congress of Mathematicians 2010 (ICM 2010), 2011
In this paper, the gradual introduction of the concept of a general convex body in Minkowski’s work and the development of mathematical programming, are presented. Both episodes are exemplary for mathematics of the 20th century, in the sense that the former represents a trend towards a growing abstraction and autonomy in pure mathematics, whereas the ...
