Fix nonnegative weights www and a deterministic policy ϕw\phi_wϕw​ that minimizes the Max-Weighted-Service objective f(y)−∑jwjRj(sj,Dj)f(y)-\sum_jw_jR_j(s_j,D_j)f(y)−∑j​wj​Rj​(sj​,Dj​) over P(c,D)P(c,D)P(c,D) for every demand realization DDD. Then

inf⁡ϕF(w,ϕ)=F(w,ϕw)=EF[g(w,c;D)],\inf_{\phi}F(w,\phi)=F(w,\phi_w)=\mathbb E_F[g(w,c;D)],ϕinf​F(w,ϕ)=F(w,ϕw​)=EF​[g(w,c;D)],

where F(w,ϕ)F(w,\phi)F(w,ϕ) is expected allocation cost minus weighted expected service, and g(w,c;D)g(w,c;D)g(w,c;D) is the corresponding pointwise minimum. This identifies a policy that attains the dual infimum.

Formalization Note The policy is measurable and feasible at every DDD. Service measures are nonnegative and jointly measurable on the real extension of their original domain. One integrable envelope bounds service and absolute allocation cost on every feasible set, ensuring all expectations are genuine Bochner integrals. Randomized policies are finite mixtures when they occur elsewhere in this development.
