Duality theory in linear programming relates to shadow prices as it provides the foundation for their calculation. The shadow price of a constraint in the primal problem is the value of the corresponding dual variable in the associated dual problem. It represents the change in the optimal objective value per unit increase in the constraint's RHS, reflecting the marginal worth of additional resources.
