In mathematical analysis, Ekeland's variational principle, discovered by Ivar Ekeland, [1] [2] [3] is a theorem that asserts that there exist nearly optimal solutions to some optimization problems. Ekeland's principle can be used when the lower level set of a minimization problems is not compact , so that the Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem ...

This analysis was published by Ivar Ekeland in 1974 to explain the apparent convexity of separable problems with many summands, despite the non-convexity of the summand problems. In 1973, the young mathematician Claude Lemaréchal was surprised by his success with convex minimization methods on problems that were known to be non-convex.
The IKEA effect is a cognitive bias in which consumers place a disproportionately high value on products they partially created. The name refers to Swedish manufacturer and furniture retailer IKEA , which sells many items of furniture that require assembly .
