Can one strengthen the Lagrangian dual bound in column generation when there are multiple subproblems?

Yes, that bound is valid, and you can prove it by exhibiting a dual feasible solution with that objective value. I don’t have my copy handy, but Wolsey’s Integer Programming shows this. In fact, the ...
