The first problem involving a variational inequality was the Signorini problem, posed by Antonio Signorini in 1959 and solved by Gaetano Fichera in 1963, according to the references (Antman 1983, pp. 282–284) and (Fichera 1995): the first papers of the theory were (Fichera 1963) and (Fichera 1964a), (Fichera 1964b).
Allowing inequality constraints, the KKT approach to nonlinear programming generalizes the method of Lagrange multipliers, which allows only equality constraints. Similar to the Lagrange approach, the constrained maximization (minimization) problem is rewritten as a Lagrange function whose optimal point is a global maximum or minimum over the ...
DVIs are related to a number of other concepts including differential inclusions, projected dynamical systems, evolutionary inequalities, and parabolic variational inequalities. Differential variational inequalities were first formally introduced by Pang and Stewart, whose definition should not be confused with the differential variational ...
Total variation distance is half the absolute area between the two curves: Half the shaded area above. In probability theory, the total variation distance is a statistical distance between probability distributions, and is sometimes called the statistical distance, statistical difference or variational distance.
The obstacle problem is a classic motivating example in the mathematical study of variational inequalities and free boundary problems.The problem is to find the equilibrium position of an elastic membrane whose boundary is held fixed, and which is constrained to lie above a given obstacle.
Thus, the second partial derivative test indicates that f(x, y) has saddle points at (0, −1) and (1, −1) and has a local maximum at (,) since = <. At the remaining critical point (0, 0) the second derivative test is insufficient, and one must use higher order tests or other tools to determine the behavior of the function at this point.
The convention of denoting the vector field -F with a negative sign arises from a particular connection projected dynamical systems shares with variational inequalities. The convention in the literature is to refer to the vector field as positive in the variational inequality, and negative in the corresponding projected dynamical system.
An improved version of the Vysochanskij-Petunin inequality for one-sided tail bounds exists. For a unimodal random variable X {\displaystyle X} with mean μ {\displaystyle \mu } and variance σ 2 {\displaystyle \sigma ^{2}} , and r ≥ 0 {\displaystyle r\geq 0} , the one-sided Vysochanskij-Petunin inequality (Mercadier and Strobel, 2021 [ 2 ...
