In discrete mathematics, dominance order (synonyms: dominance ordering, majorization order, natural ordering) is a partial order on the set of partitions of a positive integer n that plays an important role in algebraic combinatorics and representation theory, especially in the context of symmetric functions and representation theory of the ...
The remaining terms provide the leading-order equation, or leading-order balance, [5] or dominant balance, [6] [7] [8] and creating a new equation just involving these terms is known as taking an equation to leading-order. The solutions to this new equation are called the leading-order solutions [9] [10] to the original equation.
In mathematics, Fatou's lemma establishes an inequality relating the Lebesgue integral of the limit inferior of a sequence of functions to the limit inferior of integrals of these functions. The lemma is named after Pierre Fatou .
In mathematics, majorization is a preorder on vectors of real numbers. For two such vectors, x , y ∈ R n {\displaystyle \mathbf {x} ,\ \mathbf {y} \in \mathbb {R} ^{n}} , we say that x {\displaystyle \mathbf {x} } weakly majorizes (or dominates) y {\displaystyle \mathbf {y} } from below , commonly denoted x ≻ w y , {\displaystyle \mathbf {x ...
In mathematics, the method of dominant balance approximates the solution to an equation by solving a simplified form of the equation containing 2 or more of the equation's terms that most influence (dominate) the solution and excluding terms contributing only small modifications to this approximate solution.
Stochastic dominance is a partial order between random variables. [1] [2] It is a form of stochastic ordering.The concept arises in decision theory and decision analysis in situations where one gamble (a probability distribution over possible outcomes, also known as prospects) can be ranked as superior to another gamble for a broad class of decision-makers.
Domination analysis of an approximation algorithm is a way to estimate its performance, introduced by Glover and Punnen in 1997. Unlike the classical approximation ratio analysis, which compares the numerical quality of a calculated solution with that of an optimal solution, domination analysis involves examining the rank of the calculated solution in the sorted order of all possible solutions.
In Mathematics, a structure on a set (or on some sets) refers to providing it (or them) with certain additional features (e.g. an operation, relation, metric, or topology). Τhe additional features are attached or related to the set (or to the sets), so as to provide it (or them) with some additional meaning or significance.
