  2. Linear inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_inequality

    The line that determines the half-planes (ax + by = c) is not included in the solution set when the inequality is strict. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Inequality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inequality_(mathematics)

    The feasible regions of linear programming are defined by a set of inequalities. In mathematics, an inequality is a relation which makes a non-equal comparison between two numbers or other mathematical expressions. [1] It is used most often to compare two numbers on the number line by their size.

  5. List of inequalities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_inequalities

    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

  6. 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.

  7. Less-than sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Less-than_sign

    The less-than sign is a mathematical symbol that denotes an inequality between two values. The widely adopted form of two equal-length strokes connecting in an acute angle at the left, <, has been found in documents dated as far back as the 1560s. In mathematical writing, the less-than sign is typically placed between two values being compared ...

  8. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    Conversely, every line is the set of all solutions of a linear equation. The phrase "linear equation" takes its origin in this correspondence between lines and equations: a linear equation in two variables is an equation whose solutions form a line. If b ≠ 0, the line is the graph of the function of x that

  9. Sobolev inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobolev_inequality

    gives the inequality. In the special case of n = 1, the Nash inequality can be extended to the L p case, in which case it is a generalization of the Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequality (Brezis 2011, Comments on Chapter 8). In fact, if I is a bounded interval, then for all 1 ≤ r < ∞ and all 1 ≤ q ≤ p < ∞ the following inequality holds
