  2. Triangle inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_inequality

    The reverse triangle inequality is an equivalent alternative formulation of the triangle inequality that gives lower bounds instead of upper bounds. For plane geometry, the statement is: [ 19 ] Any side of a triangle is greater than or equal to the difference between the other two sides .

  3. List of triangle inequalities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_triangle_inequalities

    The parameters most commonly appearing in triangle inequalities are: the side lengths a, b, and c;; the semiperimeter s = (a + b + c) / 2 (half the perimeter p);; the angle measures A, B, and C of the angles of the vertices opposite the respective sides a, b, and c (with the vertices denoted with the same symbols as their angle measures);

  4. Christofides algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christofides_algorithm

    According to the triangle inequality, for every three vertices u, v, and x, it should be the case that w(uv) + w(vx) ≥ w(ux). Then the algorithm can be described in pseudocode as follows. [1] Create a minimum spanning tree T of G. Let O be the set of vertices with odd degree in T. By the handshaking lemma, O has an even number of vertices.

  5. Erdős–Mordell inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdős–Mordell_inequality

    The right side is the area of triangle ABC, but on the left side, r + z is at least the height of the triangle; consequently, the left side cannot be smaller than the right side. Now reflect P on the angle bisector at C. We find that cr ≥ ay + bx for P's reflection. Similarly, bq ≥ az + cx and ap ≥ bz + cy. We solve these inequalities for ...

  6. Solution of triangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_of_triangles

    Solution of triangles (Latin: solutio triangulorum) is the main trigonometric problem of finding the characteristics of a triangle (angles and lengths of sides), when some of these are known. The triangle can be located on a plane or on a sphere. Applications requiring triangle solutions include geodesy, astronomy, construction, and navigation.

  7. Weitzenböck's inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weitzenböck's_inequality

    Rewriting the inequality above allows for a more concrete geometric interpretation, which in turn provides an immediate proof. [1]+ +. Now the summands on the left side are the areas of equilateral triangles erected over the sides of the original triangle and hence the inequation states that the sum of areas of the equilateral triangles is always greater than or equal to threefold the area of ...

    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

  9. Kantorovich inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kantorovich_inequality

    In mathematics, the Kantorovich inequality is a particular case of the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality, which is itself a generalization of the triangle inequality. The triangle inequality states that the length of two sides of any triangle, added together, will be equal to or greater than the length of the third side. In simplest terms, the ...
