Abstract
A fundamental problem in optimization is the characterization of the solution of the optimization problem. In linear programming theory, this is achieved by Duality theory. This theory establishes a relationship between optimal solutions of two closely related linear programs, called the pair of dual linear programs. We now introduce this theory.
