 ## Use with JuMP

+To use DSDP with JuMP, use `DSDP.Optimizer`. It is recommended to
+remove the `Variable.FreeBridge` as will prevent the dual to have an
+interior solution which will break the
+[Slater condition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slater%27s_condition)
+on which the dual-scaling algorithm used by DSDP heavily relies.
 ```julia
 using JuMP, DSDP
 model = Model(DSDP.Optimizer)
+remove_bridge(model, MOI.Bridges.Variable.FreeBridge)
+```
+This will also remove support for free variable for your model. If your
+problem has free variables, it is recommended to dualize it.
+The dual operation of the `Variable.FreeBridge` is the `Constraint.SplitIntervalBridge`
+so you will have to remove it for the same reason:
+```julia
+using JuMP, Dualization, DSDP
+model = Model(dual_optimizer(DSDP.Optimizer))
+remove_bridge(model, MOI.Bridges.Constraint.SplitIntervalBridge)
 ```
+This will also remove support for equality constraints for your model. If your
+model has equality constraints, prefer not adding a `dual_optimizer` layer.
+If your model has both free variables and equality constraints,
+you're out of luck, another solver not based on the dual-scaling algorithm may
+be more appropriate is there is no way to reformulate the model.
