There are numerous problems in combinatorial optimization. Their solutions are different from one another. There has not been found an unified approach that can be used for all problems in combinatorial optimization. However, there still exists a unified approach that can be used to solve a class of problems in combinatorial optimization relating to graphs; this approach is the primal–dual algorithm. In linear program, the authors solve the dual relaxed problem (DRP) to get an optimal solution
