In calculus, the squeeze theorem (also known as the sandwich theorem, among other names [a]) is a theorem regarding the limit of a function that is bounded between two other functions. The squeeze theorem is used in calculus and mathematical analysis , typically to confirm the limit of a function via comparison with two other functions whose ...

This is known as the squeeze theorem. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This applies even in the cases that f ( x ) and g ( x ) take on different values at c , or are discontinuous at c . Polynomials and functions of the form x a
Using the squeeze theorem, [4] we can prove that =, which is a formal restatement of the approximation for small values of θ.. A more careful application of the squeeze theorem proves that =, from which we conclude that for small values of θ.

A ham sandwich. The ham sandwich theorem takes its name from the case when n = 3 and the three objects to be bisected are the ingredients of a ham sandwich.Sources differ on whether these three ingredients are two slices of bread and a piece of ham (Peters 1981), bread and cheese and ham (Cairns 1963), or bread and butter and ham (Dubins & Spanier 1961).
In either case, the value at x = 0 is defined to be the limiting value := = for all real a ≠ 0 (the limit can be proven using the squeeze theorem). The normalization causes the definite integral of the function over the real numbers to equal 1 (whereas the same integral of the unnormalized sinc function has a value of π ).
In Italian, the squeeze theorem is also known as the two carabineri theorem. The idea is that two carabinieri are holding a prisoner in the middle. How is this relevant to English-speaking readers? —Frungi 03:56, 26 September 2006 (UTC) Because it is an effective visualisation of what exactly is going on in the situation; use your imagination.
