In which we introduce the theory of duality in linear programming. 1. The Dual of Linear Program Suppose that we have the following linear program in maximization standard form: and that an LP-solver has found for us the solution , , , of cost . How can we convince ourselves, or another user, that the solution is indeed optimal, without having to trace the steps of the computation of the algorithm? Observe that if we have two valid inequalities then we can deduce that the inequality (derived by “summing the left hand sides and the right hand sides” of our original inequalities) is
