  2. Chebyshev's inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev's_inequality

    [1] [2] The term Chebyshev's inequality may also refer to Markov's inequality, especially in the context of analysis. They are closely related, and some authors refer to Markov's inequality as "Chebyshev's First Inequality," and the similar one referred to on this page as "Chebyshev's Second Inequality."

  3. Coupon collector's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupon_collector's_problem

    In probability theory, the coupon collector's problem refers to mathematical analysis of "collect all coupons and win" contests. It asks the following question: if each box of a given product (e.g., breakfast cereals) contains a coupon, and there are n different types of coupons, what is the probability that more than t boxes need to be bought ...

  4. Chebyshev–Markov–Stieltjes inequalities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev–Markov...

    In mathematical analysis, the Chebyshev–Markov–Stieltjes inequalities are inequalities related to the problem of moments that were formulated in the 1880s by Pafnuty Chebyshev and proved independently by Andrey Markov and (somewhat later) by Thomas Jan Stieltjes. [1]

  5. Multidimensional Chebyshev's inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional_Chebyshev...

    In probability theory, the multidimensional Chebyshev's inequality [1] is a generalization of Chebyshev's inequality, which puts a bound on the probability of the event that a random variable differs from its expected value by more than a specified amount.

    In mathematics, Chebyshev's sum inequality, named after Pafnuty Chebyshev, states that if ...

    Chebyshev's sum inequality, about sums and products of decreasing sequences Chebyshev's equioscillation theorem , on the approximation of continuous functions with polynomials The statement that if the function π ( x ) ln ⁡ x / x {\textstyle \pi (x)\ln x/x} has a limit at infinity, then the limit is 1 (where π is the prime-counting function).

  8. Analytic number theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_number_theory

    In mathematics, analytic number theory is a branch of number theory that uses methods from mathematical analysis to solve problems about the integers. [1] It is often said to have begun with Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet 's 1837 introduction of Dirichlet L -functions to give the first proof of Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions .
