Slack variables give an embedding of a polytope into the standard f-orthant, where is the number of constraints (facets of the polytope). This map is one-to-one (slack variables are uniquely determined) but not onto (not all combinations can be realized), and is expressed in terms of the constraints (linear functionals, covectors).
with v the Lagrange multipliers on the non-negativity constraints, λ the multipliers on the inequality constraints, and s the slack variables for the inequality constraints. The fourth condition derives from the complementarity of each group of variables ( x , s ) with its set of KKT vectors (optimal Lagrange multipliers) being ( v , λ ) .
In thermodynamics, the free energy difference = between two states A and B is connected to the work W done on the system through the inequality: , with equality holding only in the case of a quasistatic process, i.e. when one takes the system from A to B infinitely slowly (such that all intermediate states are in thermodynamic equilibrium).
There exist y 1, y 2 such that 6y 1 + 3y 2 ≥ 0, 4y 1 ≥ 0, and b 1 y 1 + b 2 y 2 < 0. Here is a proof of the lemma in this special case: If b 2 ≥ 0 and b 1 − 2b 2 ≥ 0, then option 1 is true, since the solution of the linear equations is = and =.
Such a constraint would later be named a Bell inequality. Bell then showed that quantum physics predicts correlations that violate this inequality . Multiple variations on Bell's theorem were put forward in the following years, using different assumptions and obtaining different Bell (or "Bell-type") inequalities.
The results of experimental tests in 2007 and 2010 have shown agreement with quantum mechanics rather than the Leggett inequalities. [2] [3] Given that experimental tests of Bell's inequalities have ruled out local realism in quantum mechanics, the violation of Leggett's inequalities is considered to have falsified realism in quantum mechanics.

A function : is said to be operator convex if for all and all , with eigenvalues in , and < <, the following holds (+ ()) + (). Note that the operator + has eigenvalues in , since and have eigenvalues in .
According to Nirenberg (1985, p. 703 and p. 707), [1] the space of functions of bounded mean oscillation was introduced by John (1961, pp. 410–411) in connection with his studies of mappings from a bounded set belonging to into and the corresponding problems arising from elasticity theory, precisely from the concept of elastic strain: the basic notation was introduced in a closely following ...
