Abstract

We consider the augmented Lagrangian dual for integer programming, and provide a primal characterization of the resulting bound. As a corollary, we obtain proof that the augmented Lagrangian is a strong dual for integer programming. We are able to show that the penalty parameter applied to the augmented Lagrangian term may be placed at a fixed, large value and still obtain strong duality for pure integer programs.
