Abstract

There are many useful operations, such as adding slack variables, taking scalar multiples of inequalities, and applying Fourier-Motzkin elimination, that can be performed on a linear system such that if the system defines an integer polyhedron then so does the derived system. The topic dealt with here is whether or not these operations also preserve total dual integrality of linear systems.
