TITLE: Famous theorems that are special cases of linear programming (or convex) duality
QUESTION [12 upvotes]: The max flow-min cut theorem is one of the most famous theorems of discrete optimization, although it is very straightforward to prove using duality theory from linear programming.  Are there any other examples of famous theorems that are also corollaries of LP duality, or duality of convex optimization?  The Farkas lemma and the hyperplane separation theorem would be other candidates, although they look more like equivalent statements to me.

REPLY [2 votes]: Bondareva–Shapley_theorem is quite famous in a game theory. In more modern terms, it unites the usual and  dual description of the generalized permutohedron.
