Martin Grötschel

Martin Grötschel was a member of the Executive Committee of the German Mathematical Society (Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung (DMV)) from 1989 to 1996 and from 1993 to 1994 its President.His publications together with L. Lovász and A. Schrijver on the ellipsoid method and its application in the combinatorial and convex optimization gained worldwide recognition.The application areas he has worked in include optimization of production planning and control, public transport and energy systems, logistics and telecommunication.Grötschel was one of the winners of the Fulkerson Prize of the American Mathematical Society in 1982 for his work with László Lovász and Alexander Schrijver on applications of the ellipsoid method to combinatorial optimization.[7] In 2006 the same trio won the John von Neumann Theory Prize of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences.
