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 indicate that the line is not included in the solution set since the inequality is strict. Then, pick a convenient point not on the line, such as (0,0).
In mathematics, the solution set of a system of equations or inequality is the set of all its solutions, that is the values that satisfy all equations and inequalities. [1] Also, the solution set or the truth set of a statement or a predicate is the set of all values that satisfy it. If there is no solution, the solution set is the empty set. [2]
A set with a partial order is called a partially ordered set. [11] Those are the very basic axioms that every kind of order has to satisfy. A strict partial order is a relation < that satisfies a ≮ a (irreflexivity), if a < b, then b ≮ a , if a < b and b < c, then a < c (transitivity), where ≮ means that < does not hold.
Solution set (portrayed as feasible region) for a sample list of inequations Similar to equation solving , inequation solving means finding what values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) fulfill a condition stated in the form of an inequation or a conjunction of several inequations.
The solution set of a given set of equations or inequalities is the set of all its solutions, a solution being a tuple of values, one for each unknown, that satisfies all the equations or inequalities. If the solution set is empty, then there are no values of the unknowns that satisfy simultaneously all equations and inequalities.
A solution of a polynomial system is a set of values for the x i s which belong to some algebraically closed field extension K of k, and make all equations true. When k is the field of rational numbers , K is generally assumed to be the field of complex numbers , because each solution belongs to a field extension of k , which is isomorphic to a ...
The obtained optimum is tested for being an integer solution. If it is not, there is guaranteed to exist a linear inequality that separates the optimum from the convex hull of the true feasible set. Finding such an inequality is the separation problem, and such an inequality is a cut. A cut can be added to the relaxed linear program.
For example, the solution set for the above equation is a line, since a point in the solution set can be chosen by specifying the value of the parameter z. An infinite solution of higher order may describe a plane, or higher-dimensional set. Different choices for the free variables may lead to different descriptions of the same solution set.
