Use this tag for questions involving dual cones. In convex analysis, the "dual cone" to a set is the collection of all elements that form a "positive angle" with every element in the set. That is, given a set $S$ in a vector space $V$, we define the dual cone by $S^* = {y:\langle x,y \rangle \geq 0 \text{ for all } x \in S}$ (the precise meaning of $\langle \cdot,\cdot\rangle$ depends on the context).
