We present a unified duality approach to Bayesian persuasion. The optimal dual variable, interpreted as a price function on the state space, is shown to be a supergradient of the concave closure of the objective function at the prior belief. Strong duality holds when the objective function is...

In some traffic management situations, a cordon (a set of points at which traffic flows into a given area) is set in a road network to establish a reference for the location of equipment to implement traffic measurements and controls (e.g., traffic volume surveys and congestion charging)....
