I just used Matlab Toolbox `linprog’ and CPLEX to solve a large-scale linear program with more than 10000 variables. I got different dual values from the two solvers. Since I use column generation to solve my problem, dual variable is important for the problem solving. Thus, I wonder if it is possible that the numerical errors cause different dual variable values for large scale linear programming. Or, is there other reasons cause the difference of dual values? Thank you very much.

Hi Bing. Please see the FAQ mathoverflow.net/faq#whatquestions for a brief description of what sort of questions are the focus here. If you have a Matlab specific problem, there are Matlab-specific forums google.com.au/search?q=matlab+forum that will be more helpful. – David Roberts Oct 31 2011 at 3:10
