  2. 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 ⁠.

  3. Cauchy–Schwarz inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy–Schwarz_inequality

    Cauchy–Schwarz inequality (Modified Schwarz inequality for 2-positive maps [27]) — For a 2-positive map between C*-algebras, for all , in its domain, () ‖ ‖ (), ‖ ‖ ‖ ‖ ‖ ‖. Another generalization is a refinement obtained by interpolating between both sides of the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality:

  4. Linear inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_inequality

    A simple procedure to determine which half-plane is in the solution set is to calculate the value of ax + by at a point (x 0, y 0) which is not on the line and observe whether or not the inequality is satisfied. For example, [3] to draw the solution set of x + 3y < 9, one first draws the line with equation x + 3y = 9 as a dotted line, to ...

  5. XYZ inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XYZ_inequality

    In combinatorial mathematics, the XYZ inequality, also called the Fishburn–Shepp inequality, is an inequality for the number of linear extensions of finite partial orders. The inequality was conjectured by Ivan Rival and Bill Sands in 1981. It was proved by Lawrence Shepp in Shepp (1982).

  6. Jensen's inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jensen's_inequality

    A graphical "proof" of Jensen's inequality for the probabilistic case. The dashed curve along the X axis is the hypothetical distribution of X, while the dashed curve along the Y axis is the corresponding distribution of Y values. Note that the convex mapping Y(X) increasingly "stretches" the distribution for increasing values of X.

  7. Lorenz curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_curve

    In that case, the curve would be at y = 0% for all x < 100%, and y = 100% when x = 100%. This curve is called the "line of perfect inequality." This curve is called the "line of perfect inequality." The Gini coefficient is the ratio of the area between the line of perfect equality and the observed Lorenz curve to the area between the line of ...

  8. Young's inequality for products - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_inequality_for...

    Proof [2]. Since + =, =. A graph = on the -plane is thus also a graph =. From sketching a visual representation of the integrals of the area between this curve and the axes, and the area in the rectangle bounded by the lines =, =, =, =, and the fact that is always increasing for increasing and vice versa, we can see that upper bounds the area of the rectangle below the curve (with equality ...

  9. Inequation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inequation

    In mathematics, an inequation is a statement that an inequality holds between two values. [1] [2] It is usually written in the form of a pair of expressions denoting the values in question, with a relational sign between them indicating the specific inequality relation. Some examples of inequations are:
