The dual SVM is not a distinct type of SVM but rather a representation of the SVM optimization problem. The dual form of an SVM is a mathematical reformulation of the original optimization problem that allows for more efficient solution methods. It introduces Lagrange multipliers to maximize a dual objective function, which is equivalent to the primal problem. Solving the dual problem leads to the determination of support vectors, which are critical for classification.

This best suits the data that is not linearly separable

linear vs non linear problem

It is also important to know that we can either use hard or soft margins to make SVM classifier decisions using hyperplane.
