The author shows how many graph-theoretic subset problems such as domination, packing, covering and independence can be formulated as \(\{0,1\}\) programming problems. Expressed as linear programming problems graph-theoretic minimization (respectively, maximization) problems have dual maximization (respectively, minimization) problems which are also discussed. The author also introduces the notion of `complementary' problem using duality. As a consequence of the complementation theorem that is presented, some known results as, for example, Gallai's covering/independence theorem, namely, \(\alpha (G)+ \beta(G)= |V(G)|\), are produced. The chapter concludes with a proposed generalized theory in which vertices are assigned values in some arbitrarily specified set of reals. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0883.00011].
