Similarly, a function g defined on domain D and having the same codomain (K, ≤) is an upper bound of f, if g(x) ≥ f (x) for each x in D. The function g is further said to be an upper bound of a set of functions, if it is an upper bound of each function in that set.
The expectation value of the total Hamiltonian H (including the term V ee) in the state described by ψ 0 will be an upper bound for its ground state energy. V ee is −5E 1 /2 = 34 eV, so H is 8E 1 − 5E 1 /2 = −75 eV. A tighter upper bound can be found by using a better trial wavefunction with 'tunable' parameters.
By the boundedness theorem, f is bounded from above, hence, by the Dedekind-completeness of the real numbers, the least upper bound (supremum) M of f exists. It is necessary to find a point d in [a, b] such that M = f(d). Let n be a natural number. As M is the least upper bound, M – 1/n is not an upper bound for f.
In mathematics the estimation lemma, also known as the ML inequality, gives an upper bound for a contour integral.If f is a complex-valued, continuous function on the contour Γ and if its absolute value | f (z) | is bounded by a constant M for all z on Γ, then
Applied to Cauchy's bound, this gives the upper bound + = for the real roots of a polynomial with real coefficients. If this bound is not greater than 1, this means that all nonzero coefficients have the same sign, and that there is no positive root.
Similarly, the set of integers has the least-upper-bound property; if is a nonempty subset of and there is some number such that every element of is less than or equal to , then there is a least upper bound for , an integer that is an upper bound for and is less than or equal to every other upper bound for .
In the graph at right the top line y = n − 1 is an upper bound valid for all n other than one, and attained if and only if n is a prime number. A simple lower bound is φ ( n ) ≥ n / 2 {\displaystyle \varphi (n)\geq {\sqrt {n/2}}} , which is rather loose: in fact, the lower limit of the graph is proportional to n / log log n .
The Q-function is not an elementary function. However, it can be upper and lower bounded as, [6] [7] ... , the best upper bound is given by = and = with maximum ...
