  2. Absolute value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value

    The real absolute value function is an example of a continuous function that achieves a global minimum where the derivative does not exist. The subdifferential of | x | at x = 0 is the interval [−1, 1]. [14] The complex absolute value function is continuous everywhere but complex differentiable nowhere because it violates the Cauchy–Riemann ...

  3. List of inequalities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_inequalities

    Bennett's inequality, an upper bound on the probability that the sum of independent random variables deviates from its expected value by more than any specified amount Bhatia–Davis inequality , an upper bound on the variance of any bounded probability distribution

  4. Absolute difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_difference

    The absolute difference of two real numbers and is given by | |, the absolute value of their difference. It describes the distance on the real line between the points corresponding to x {\displaystyle x} and y {\displaystyle y} .

  5. Inequality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inequality_(mathematics)

    For instance, to solve the inequality 4x < 2x + 1 ≤ 3x + 2, it is not possible to isolate x in any one part of the inequality through addition or subtraction. Instead, the inequalities must be solved independently, yielding x < ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ and x ≥ −1 respectively, which can be combined into the final solution −1 ≤ x < ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠.

  6. Absolute value (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value_(algebra)

    The standard absolute value on the integers. The standard absolute value on the complex numbers.; The p-adic absolute value on the rational numbers.; If R is the field of rational functions over a field F and () is a fixed irreducible polynomial over F, then the following defines an absolute value on R: for () in R define | | to be , where () = () and ((), ()) = = ((), ()).

  7. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    An example of using Newton–Raphson method to solve numerically the equation f(x) = 0. In mathematics, to solve an equation is to find its solutions, which are the values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) that fulfill the condition stated by the equation, consisting generally of two expressions related by an equals sign.

  8. Cauchy–Schwarz inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy–Schwarz_inequality

    where , is the inner product.Examples of inner products include the real and complex dot product; see the examples in inner product.Every inner product gives rise to a Euclidean norm, called the canonical or induced norm, where the norm of a vector is denoted and defined by ‖ ‖:= , , where , is always a non-negative real number (even if the inner product is complex-valued).

  9. Fatou–Lebesgue theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatou–Lebesgue_theorem

    The second inequality is the elementary inequality between and . The last inequality follows by applying reverse Fatou lemma , i.e. applying the Fatou lemma to the non-negative functions g − f n {\displaystyle g-f_{n}} , and again (up to sign) cancelling the finite ∫ X g d μ {\displaystyle \int _{X}g\,d\mu } term.
