  2. Farkas' lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farkas'_lemma

    In mathematics, Farkas' lemma is a solvability theorem for a finite system of linear inequalities. It was originally proven by the Hungarian mathematician Gyula Farkas . [ 1 ] Farkas' lemma is the key result underpinning the linear programming duality and has played a central role in the development of mathematical optimization (alternatively ...

    Manin published a proof in 1963, but Coleman (1990) found and corrected a gap in the proof. In 1973 Britton published a 282-page attempted solution of Burnside's problem. In his proof he assumed the existence of a set of parameters satisfying some inequalities, but Adian pointed out that these inequalities were inconsistent.

  5. Linear inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_inequality

    A linear programming problem seeks to optimize (find a maximum or minimum value) a function (called the objective function) subject to a number of constraints on the variables which, in general, are linear inequalities. [6] The list of constraints is a system of linear inequalities.

  8. Mathematical induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_induction

    It is an important proof technique in set theory, topology and other fields. Proofs by transfinite induction typically distinguish three cases: when n is a minimal element, i.e. there is no element smaller than n; when n has a direct predecessor, i.e. the set of elements which are smaller than n has a largest element;

  9. Proofs That Really Count - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_That_Really_Count

    Proofs That Really Count: the Art of Combinatorial Proof is an undergraduate-level mathematics book on combinatorial proofs of mathematical identies.That is, it concerns equations between two integer-valued formulas, shown to be equal either by showing that both sides of the equation count the same type of mathematical objects, or by finding a one-to-one correspondence between the different ...
