The values of the slack or surplus variables and the dual prices in Table 2.15 provide the most economical average operating plan for a 30-day period. For instance, it indicates that the primary distillation unit is not at full capacity as the solution... 

The dual prices of slacks on mass balance and product requirement rows can be interpreted more specifically. Consider a mass balance constraint ... 

The product stream is increased by an and the feed streams x3 and x2 must increase correspondingly. The dual price of an indicates the effect of making marginally more products without taking into account its realization (which is on x3), that is, it indicates the cost added by producing one extra item of the product, or, in other words, the marginal cost of making the product. In addition to that, consider the product requirement constraint ... 

The dual price of the slack variable sm on this constraint indicates the effect of selling this product at the margin, that is, it indicates the marginal profit on the product. Ifthe constraint is slack, so that the slack variable is positive (basic), the profit at the margin must obviously be zero and this is in line with the zero dual price of all basic variables. Since cost + profit — realization for a product, the sum of the dual prices on its balance and requirement constraints equals its coefficient in the original objective function. 

Incremental crude was initially precluded from the refinery charge in the first LP case and a reasonable LP representation of the Toledo refinery was generated. In this case, there was a dual price associated with the precluded incremental crude indicating that it had a significant value as a refinery charge, for the first increment of the crude. 

The sensitivity of the linear programming solution is expressed in terms of shadow prices (dual price/simplex multipliers) and opportunity (reduced) cost. A shadow... 

The variables n x,t) are the dual prices associated with the nonoverlapping constraints (for the position (x, t) in space). With fixed r(x, t), the inner optimization problem is trivial. We use a version of subgradient algorithm, toown as the volume algorithm in the literature (cf Barahona and Anbil (2000)), to update the dual prices and to solve the above problem. To make the problem manageable so that the lower bound can be obtained within reasonable time, the space-time network is also discretized to moderate sizes. Note that the discretized version of the problem will still provide us with a lower bound for the static berth plaiming problem. 

Lagrange multipliers are often referred to as shadow prices, adjoint variables, or dual variables, depending on the context. Suppose the variables are at an optimum point for the problem. Perturb the variables such that only constraint hj changes. We can write... 

Th ere has also been a huge improvement m the value of today s mountain bikes. A mountain bike in the 300 to 500 price range typically has a suspension fork and aluminum frame that would have made It a 1,500 bike a decade earlier. The 800 dual-suspension bike of 2000 far outclasses the early 1990s 2,500 offering. 

This is very common nowadays to allow bargaining on fuel price or to arrange an interruptible gas tariff, which is backed up at times of peak demand with a stored oil supply. Most types of oil and gas burner are available in dual-fuel form, normally with gas burner design wrapped around the arrangement for oil firing. This is usually the more difficult fuel to burn, particularly in the case of residual heavy oils. Fuel selection is normally by a switch on the burner control panel after isolation has taken place of the non-fired fuel. To avoid the cost and complexity of the fuel preheating on oil firing, smaller systems use gas oil as the standby fuel. 

It is important to note that the fitting according to eq. (1) requires zero intercept behavior i.e., F =. 00 for H (for which Oj = Or =. 00). While we recognize that the data for the unsubstituted (H) member of a set may be as subject to experimental error as any other member, such error is generally relatively small for a set of reliable data. Any constant error from this source will be distributed among all of the substituents in such a manner as to achieve best fit. Any loss in precision of fitting of the set which may result by such a procedure we believe is a small price to pay compared to the violence done by introduction in eq. (I) of a completely variable constant parameter. The latter procedure has been utilized by other authors both in treatments by the simple Hammett equation and by the dual substituent parameter equation. 

Increasing price of crude oil has built up pressure on tire and automobile industry to develop low rolling-resistant tire with better traction. Combination of carbon and silica with coupling agent (dual filler technology) shows low RR with better traction and skid resistance in tire tread compound. Carbon black developed by plasma process and nanostructure black are other new significant developments in filler technology. 

DFCr systems appear to have the necessary metals tolerance to process residual oils and the abundant, cheaper, but heavily vanadium-contaminated, Venezuelan and Mexican crudes (1-4). Therefore, the dual function fluid cracking catalyst (DFCC) concept could lead to the generation of important catalysts for U.S. refineries should Middle East politics cause another sudden escalation in crude oil prices and availability. The concept is... 

The Croy V series belt-driven dual extraction pump can extract from 5 to 30/gal min of liquid, and uses a 75 actual cubic feet per minute groundwater/vapor extraction transfer pump. The unit has a purchase price of 13,000 and can be rented for 1300 per month (D17804V, p. 11). 

Croy manufactures a series of SFR pumps that are also for sale (D17804V, p. 6-10). Croy offers a three-cylinder, diesel-driven dual-phase extraction unit that can be leased for pilot tests. As of 1998, the unit rented for 1200 per week, and its purchase price was 20,750 (D17804V,... 

The Lagrange multipliers in a constrained nonlinear optimization problem have a similar interpretation to the dual variables or shadow prices in linear programming. To provide such an interpretation, we will consider problem (3.3) with only equality constraints that is,...
