History

The journal was established in 1976. The founding editor-in-chief was Arthur F. Veinott Jr. (Stanford University). He served until 1980, when the position was taken over by Stephen M. Robinson, who held the position until 1986. Erhan Cinlar served from 1987 to 1992, and was followed by Jan Karel Lenstra (1993-1998). Next was Gérard Cornuéjols (1999-2003) and Nimrod Megiddo (2004-2009). Finally came Uri Rothblum (2009-2012), Jim Dai (2012-2018), and the current editor-in-chief Katya Scheinberg (2019–present).

The journal's three initial sections were game theory, stochastic systems, and mathematical programming. Currently, the journal has four sections: continuous optimization, discrete optimization, stochastic models, and game theory.
