Consider the following problem. Maximize Z 2x1 4x2, subject to x1 x2 1 and x1

Question:

Consider the following problem.

Maximize Z 2x1  4x2, subject to x1  x2 1 and x1  0, x2  0.

(a) Construct the dual problem, and then find its optimal solution by inspection.

(b) Use the complementary slackness property and the optimal solution for the dual problem to find the optimal solution for the primal problem.

(c) Suppose that c1, the coefficient of x1 in the primal objective function, actually can have any value in the model. For what values of c1 does the dual problem have no feasible solutions?

For these values, what does duality theory then imply about the primal problem?
