The author shows that the parallel sum, the shorted operator, the geometric mean, and the cascade limit are all examples of operations that can be described as a solution of suitable linear programming problem in the space of self adjoint operators on a finite-dimensional complex Hilbert space. Absence of duality gap in the corresponding program is proved. This fact implies a new result for the computation of geometric mean of two positive semidefinite matrices.
