D. R. Fulkerson, or Duncan Ray Fulkerson, was an influential American mathematician known primarily for his contributions to operations research and combinatorial optimization. He is perhaps best known for his work on network flows and combinatorial structures, including the development of the Edmonds-Karp algorithm for computing maximum flow in a network and for his contributions to the theory of linear programming. Fulkerson was active in the development of matroid theory and graph theory as well.
