Question:

Consider the Lagrangian relaxation described near the end of Sec. 12.6.

(a) If x is a feasible solution for an MIP problem, show that x also must be a feasible solution for the corresponding Lagrangian relaxation.

(b) If x* is an optimal solution for an MIP problem, with an objective function value of Z, show that Z  Z*

R, where Z*

R is the optimal objective function value for the corresponding Lagrangian relaxation.
