To do: Define argmax, min operator, max operator. Make clear the relation between B^{-1}N from primal and corresponding expression from dual. For planar graphs show that the dual network simplex method is precisely the primal network simplex method on the dual graph. Add complexity calculation to Dijkstra's algorithm.
