  2. Absolute value (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value_(algebra)

    The standard absolute value on the integers. The standard absolute value on the complex numbers.; The p-adic absolute value on the rational numbers.; If R is the field of rational functions over a field F and () is a fixed irreducible polynomial over F, then the following defines an absolute value on R: for () in R define | | to be , where () = () and ((), ()) = = ((), ()).

  3. Absolute value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value

    The real absolute value function is an example of a continuous function that achieves a global minimum where the derivative does not exist. The subdifferential of | x | at x = 0 is the interval [−1, 1]. [14] The complex absolute value function is continuous everywhere but complex differentiable nowhere because it violates the Cauchy–Riemann ...

    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

  5. 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.

    The real absolute value on the rationals is the standard absolute value on the reals, defined to be | |:= {, < This ... so by the triangle inequality, | | ...

  7. Triangle inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_inequality

    The first of these quadratic inequalities requires r to range in the region beyond the value of the positive root of the quadratic equation r 2 + r − 1 = 0, i.e. r > φ − 1 where φ is the golden ratio. The second quadratic inequality requires r to range between 0 and the positive root of the quadratic equation r 2 − r − 1 = 0, i.e. 0 ...

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

    In general, the value of the norm is dependent on the spectrum of : For a vector with a Euclidean norm of one, the value of ‖ ‖ is bounded from below and above by the smallest and largest absolute eigenvalues of respectively, where the bounds are achieved if coincides with the corresponding (normalized) eigenvectors.

  9. Law (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    When u and v are real numbers, they can be viewed as vectors in , and the triangle inequality expresses a relationship between absolute values. Pythagorean theorem : It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle ) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides.
