Philip M. Morse and the Beginnings
A 50th anniversary issue of Operations Research would be incomplete without a retrospective look at the remarkable contributions of Philip McCord Morse to the establishment of operations research as a field and the starting of the journal. Professor Morse (1903–1985) was a distinguished physicist, a World War II pioneer in operations research, and the first president of the Operations Research ...
متن کاملPhysics: P. M. Morse
This equation expresses U2 as the ratio of two positive definite integrals. Accordingly, the solution is stable; moreover, it can be shown that equation (25) providesthe basis for a variational method of determining u2. The explicit solution of the underlying problem in hydromagnetic oscillations in case the prevailing fields are axisymmetric has many interesting features. They will be discusse...
متن کاملVirtual Morse Theory on Ωham(m, Ω)
which is part of a certain 2d Hamiltonian cohomological field theory [11]. Here we use this map to study the topology of ΩHam(M, ω) and its Hofer geometric properties via a kind of virtual Morse theory for the positive Hofer length functional, L : ΩHam(M, ω) → R . We also use Ψ to prove a kind of index theorem for some critical points of L . We apply this theory to get some concrete application...
متن کاملHomeland Security: From Mathematical Models to Policy Implementation: The 2008 Philip McCord Morse Lecture
This paper is the archival record of the INFORMS Philip McCord Morse Lecture delivered in 2008. It describes the author’s research on four topics in homeland security and public health: preparedness and response to a bioterror anthrax attack, preparedness and response to a bioterror attack on the food supply, routes of transmission and infection control for pandemic influenza, and biometrics (e...
متن کاملOR FORUM-Rocket Science Retailing: The 2006 Philip McCord Morse Lecture
Retailing is a huge industry. In the United States, retail business represents about 40% of the economy and is the largest employer. Retail supply chain management is still more art than science, but this is changing rapidly as retailers begin to apply analytic models to the huge volume of data they are collecting on consumer purchases and preferences. This industry-wide movement resembles the ...
