G. W. Peck

G. W. Peck

G. W. Peck is a fictional mathematician who is listed as author or co-author of a number of published academic papers. He is sometimes humorously identified with George Wilbur Peck, a former governor of the U.S. state of Wisconsin. [G. W. Peck, Kleitman and combinatorics: a celebration,"Discrete Mathematics" vol. 257 (2002), no. 2-3, pp. 193-224.] [Jerrold W. Grossman, Review of "Kleitman and combinatorics: a celebration" by G. W. Peck, "Math Reviews", September 2003.]

Peck first appeared as the official author of a 1979 paper entitled "Maximum antichains of rectangular arrays" [G. W. Peck, Maximum antichains of rectangular arrays, "Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series A" vol. 27 (1979), no. 3, pp. 397-400.] The name "G. W. Peck" is derived from the initials of the actual writers of this paper: Ronald Graham, Douglas West, George B Purdy, Paul Erdős, Fan Chung, and Daniel Kleitman. Since then, Peck's name has appeared on some sixteen publications [ [http://www.ams.org/mathscinet/ American Mathematical Society MathSciNet] (subscription required)] , primarily as a pseudonym of Daniel Kleitman. [G. W. Peck, Kleitman and combinatorics: a celebration,"Discrete Mathematics" vol. 257 (2002), no. 2-3, pp. 193-224.]
