Linear programming interpretations of Mather's variational principle
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 8 (2002), pp. 693-702.

We discuss some implications of linear programming for Mather theory [13, 14, 15] and its finite dimensional approximations. We find that the complementary slackness condition of duality theory formally implies that the Mather set lies in an n-dimensional graph and as well predicts the relevant nonlinear PDE for the “weak KAM” theory of Fathi [6, 7, 8, 5].
