Abstract
In mathematical programming, the duality theory takes a central place. In this theory, to a given problem, named “primal”, one associates another problem, named “dual”, and the relationship between the two problems is used to highlight the properties of the optimal solutions of both problems. An important consequence of the duality principle is that if one of the problems has a finite optimum, then the other problem also has a finite optimum, and the values of the two optimums coincide.
