  2. Plastic limit theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_limit_theorems

    The two plastic limit theorems apply to any elastic-perfectly plastic body or assemblage of bodies. Lower limit theorem: If an equilibrium distribution of stress can be found which balances the applied load and nowhere violates the yield criterion, the body (or bodies) will not fail, or will be just at the point of failure.

  4. Upper and lower bounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_and_lower_bounds

    The set S = {42} has 42 as both an upper bound and a lower bound; all other numbers are either an upper bound or a lower bound for that S. Every subset of the natural numbers has a lower bound since the natural numbers have a least element (0 or 1, depending on convention). An infinite subset of the natural numbers cannot be bounded from above.

  5. Limits of integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_of_integration

    In calculus and mathematical analysis the limits of integration (or bounds of integration) of the integral () of a Riemann integrable function f {\displaystyle f} defined on a closed and bounded interval are the real numbers a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} , in which a {\displaystyle a} is called the lower limit and b {\displaystyle ...

  6. Boole's inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boole's_inequality

    In probability theory, Boole's inequality, also known as the union bound, says that for any finite or countable set of events, the probability that at least one of the events happens is no greater than the sum of the probabilities of the individual events. This inequality provides an upper bound on the probability of occurrence of at least one ...

  7. Infimum and supremum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infimum_and_supremum

    There is a corresponding greatest-lower-bound property; an ordered set possesses the greatest-lower-bound property if and only if it also possesses the least-upper-bound property; the least-upper-bound of the set of lower bounds of a set is the greatest-lower-bound, and the greatest-lower-bound of the set of upper bounds of a set is the least ...

  8. Limit inferior and limit superior - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_inferior_and_limit...

    Thus, the infimum or meet of a collection of subsets is the greatest lower bound while the supremum or join is the least upper bound. In this context, the inner limit, lim inf X n, is the largest meeting of tails of the sequence, and the outer limit, lim sup X n, is the smallest joining of tails of the sequence. The following makes this precise.

  9. Orchard-planting problem - Wikipedia

    Using the fact that the number of 2-point lines is at least ⁠ ⁠ (Csima & Sawyer 1993), this upper bound can be lowered to ⌊ ⌋ = ⌊ ⌋. Lower bounds for ⁠ t 3 orchard ( n ) {\displaystyle t_{3}^{\text{orchard}}(n)} ⁠ are given by constructions for sets of points with many 3-point lines.
