  2. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    An interval is said to be left-open if and only if it contains no minimum (an element that is smaller than all other elements); right-open if it contains no maximum; and open if it contains neither. The interval [0, 1) = {x | 0 ≤ x < 1}, for example, is left-closed and right-open. The empty set and the set of all reals are both open and ...

  3. Isoperimetric inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoperimetric_inequality

    The spherical isoperimetric inequality states that (), and that the equality holds if and only if the curve is a circle. There are, in fact, two ways to measure the spherical area enclosed by a simple closed curve, but the inequality is symmetric with the respect to taking the complement.

  4. Convex cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_cone

    A closed half-space is a set in the form {()} or {()}, and likewise an open half-space uses strict inequality. [11] [12] Half-spaces (open or closed) are affine convex cones. Moreover (in finite dimensions), any convex cone C that is not the whole space V must be contained in some closed half-space H of V; this is a special case of Farkas' lemma.

  5. Inequality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The feasible regions of linear programming are defined by a set of inequalities. In mathematics, an inequality is a relation which makes a non-equal comparison between two numbers or other mathematical expressions. [1] It is used most often to compare two numbers on the number line by their size.

  6. Infimum and supremum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infimum_and_supremum

    A set of real numbers (hollow and filled circles), a subset of (filled circles), and the infimum of . Note that for totally ordered finite sets, the infimum and the minimum are equal. A set A {\displaystyle A} of real numbers (blue circles), a set of upper bounds of A {\displaystyle A} (red diamond and circles), and the smallest such upper ...

  7. QM-AM-GM-HM inequalities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QM-AM-GM-HM_Inequalities

    The semi-circle used to visualize the inequalities. When n = 2, the inequalities become + + + for all , >, [3] which can be visualized in a semi-circle whose diameter is [AB] and center D.

  8. Disk (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The Euler characteristic of a point (and therefore also that of a closed or open disk) is 1. [7] Every continuous map from the closed disk to itself has at least one fixed point (we don't require the map to be bijective or even surjective); this is the case n=2 of the Brouwer fixed-point theorem. [8] The statement is false for the open disk: [9]

  9. Open and closed maps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_and_closed_maps

    By definition, the map : is a relatively closed map if and only if the surjection: ⁡ is a strongly closed map. If in the open set definition of "continuous map" (which is the statement: "every preimage of an open set is open"), both instances of the word "open" are replaced with "closed" then the statement of results ("every preimage of a ...
