Marguerite Straus Frank (born 1927) is an American-French mathematician, and pioneer in convex optimization theory and mathematical programming. She also contributed to research about Lie Algebras which were the topic of her PhD thesis, as well as Transportation theory in her later work. She was one of the first female PhD students in mathematics at Harvard University.[1]
She was born in France and attended secondary school in Paris and Toronto, where her family migrated during the war in 1939.[2] Together with Philip Wolfe in 1956 at Princeton, she invented the Frank-Wolfe algorithm,[3] an iterative optimization method for general constrained non-linear problems. While linear programming was popular at that time, the paper marked an important change of paradigm to more general non-linear convex optimization. During that time, both Marguerite Frank and Philip Wolfe were part of the Princeton logistics project lead by Harold W. Kuhn and Albert W. Tucker.
From 1977, she was an adjunct associate professor at Columbia University, before moving to Rider University. Marguerite Frank held visiting professor positions in Stanford (1985-1990), and ESSEC Business School in Paris (1991). She was married to Joseph Frank, a biographer of Dostoevsky.[4] She was elected a member of the New York Academy of Sciences in 1981.
