Since all the inequalities are in the same form (all less-than or all greater-than), we can examine the coefficient signs for each variable. Eliminating x would yield 2*2 = 4 inequalities on the remaining variables, and so would eliminating y. Eliminating z would yield only 3*1 = 3 inequalities so we use that instead.
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 .
There is no corresponding upper bound as any of the 3 fractions in the inequality can be made arbitrarily large. It is the three-variable case of the rather more difficult Shapiro inequality, and was published at least 50 years earlier.
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
Grönwall's inequality is an important tool to obtain various estimates in the theory of ordinary and stochastic differential equations. In particular, it provides a comparison theorem that can be used to prove uniqueness of a solution to the initial value problem; see the Picard–Lindelöf theorem. It is named for Thomas Hakon Grönwall (1877 ...
The set of solutions of a real linear inequality constitutes a half-space of the 'n'-dimensional real space, one of the two defined by the corresponding linear equation. The set of solutions of a system of linear inequalities corresponds to the intersection of the half-spaces defined by individual inequalities.
In convex optimization, a linear matrix inequality (LMI) is an expression of the form ():= + + + + where = [, =, …,] is a real vector,,,, …, are symmetric matrices, is a generalized inequality meaning is a positive semidefinite matrix belonging to the positive semidefinite cone + in the subspace of symmetric matrices .
Consider the sum = = = (). The two sequences are non-increasing, therefore a j − a k and b j − b k have the same sign for any j, k.Hence S ≥ 0.. Opening the brackets, we deduce:
