To develop algorithms, you often need a constructive or algorithmic version of the duality theorem which is essentially equivalent to vonneummans minmax theorem in game theory the applications in game theory are also huge. Linear programming notes vi duality and complementary. Our approach is motivated by the work of owen 1975, who used linear programming duality to show the nonemptiness of the core for the deterministic linear production game. Thus, duality is an alternative way of solving lp problems. Dual problem linear programming problem duality theory simplex method primal problem these keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. The solution to the dual problem provides a lower bound to the solution of the primal minimization problem. The book emphasizes constrained optimization, beginning with a substantial treatment of linear programming, and proceeding to convex analysis, network flows, integer programming, quadratic programming, and convex optimization. Symmetric duality theory for linear goal programming. In this concept the dual to a minsum gp problem is a gp problem and the dual to a lexicographic gp problem is a multidimensional lexicographic gp problem.
