Markov Brothers' Inequality
In mathematics, the Markov brothers' inequality is an inequality proved in the 1890s by brothers Andrey Markov and Vladimir Markov, two Russian mathematicians. This inequality bounds the maximum of the derivatives of a polynomial on an interval in terms of the maximum of the polynomial. For ''k'' = 1 it was proved by Andrey Markov, and for ''k'' = 2,3,... by his brother Vladimir Markov. Appeared in German with a foreword by Sergei Bernstein as The statement Let ''P'' be a polynomial of degree ≤ ''n''. Then for all nonnegative integers k : \max_ , P^(x), \leq \frac \max_ , P(x), . Equality is attained for Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind.

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting poin ...

Inequality (mathematics)
In mathematics, an inequality is a relation which makes a non-equal comparison between two numbers or other mathematical expressions. It is used most often to compare two numbers on the number line by their size. There are several different notations used to represent different kinds of inequalities: * The notation ''a'' ''b'' means that ''a'' is greater than ''b''. In either case, ''a'' is not equal to ''b''. These relations are known as strict inequalities, meaning that ''a'' is strictly less than or strictly greater than ''b''. Equivalence is excluded. In contrast to strict inequalities, there are two types of inequality relations that are not strict: * The notation ''a'' ≤ ''b'' or ''a'' ⩽ ''b'' means that ''a'' is less than or equal to ''b'' (or, equivalently, at most ''b'', or not greater than ''b''). * The notation ''a'' ≥ ''b'' or ''a'' ⩾ ''b'' means that ''a'' is greater than or equal to ''b'' (or, equivalently, at least ''b'', or not less than ''b'').

Andrey Markov
Andrey Andreyevich Markov, first name also spelled "Andrei", in older works also spelled Markoff) (14 June 1856 – 20 July 1922) was a Russian mathematician best known for his work on stochastic processes. A primary subject of his research later became known as the Markov chain. Markov and his younger brother Vladimir Andreevich Markov (1871–1897) proved the Markov brothers' inequality. His son, another Andrey Andreyevich Markov (1903–1979), was also a notable mathematician, making contributions to constructive mathematics and recursive function theory. Biography Andrey Markov was born on 14 June 1856 in Russia. He attended the St. Petersburg Grammar School, where some teachers saw him as a rebellious student. In his academics he performed poorly in most subjects other than mathematics. Later in life he attended Saint Petersburg Imperial University (now Saint Petersburg State University). Among his teachers were Yulian Sokhotski (differential calculus, higher algebra) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Derivative
In mathematics, the derivative of a function of a real variable measures the sensitivity to change of the function value (output value) with respect to a change in its argument (input value). Derivatives are a fundamental tool of calculus. For example, the derivative of the position of a moving object with respect to time is the object's velocity: this measures how quickly the position of the object changes when time advances. The derivative of a function of a single variable at a chosen input value, when it exists, is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at that point. The tangent line is the best linear approximation of the function near that input value. For this reason, the derivative is often described as the "instantaneous rate of change", the ratio of the instantaneous change in the dependent variable to that of the independent variable. Derivatives can be generalized to functions of several real variables. In this generalization, the deriv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sergei Bernstein
Sergei Natanovich Bernstein (russian: Серге́й Ната́нович Бернште́йн, sometimes Romanized as ; 5 March 1880 – 26 October 1968) was a Ukrainian and Russian mathematician of Jewish origin known for contributions to partial differential equations, differential geometry, probability theory, and approximation theory. Work Partial differential equations In his doctoral dissertation, submitted in 1904 to Sorbonne, Bernstein solved Hilbert's nineteenth problem on the analytic solution of elliptic differential equations. His later work was devoted to Dirichlet's boundary problem for non-linear equations of elliptic type, where, in particular, he introduced a priori estimates. Probability theory In 1917, Bernstein suggested the first axiomatic foundation of probability theory, based on the underlying algebraic structure. It was later superseded by the measure-theoretic approach of Kolmogorov. In the 1920s, he introduced a method for proving limit theorems ...

Chebyshev Polynomials
The Chebyshev polynomials are two sequences of polynomials related to the cosine and sine functions, notated as T_n(x) and U_n(x). They can be defined in several equivalent ways, one of which starts with trigonometric functions: The Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind T_n are defined by : T_n(\cos \theta) = \cos(n\theta). Similarly, the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind U_n are defined by : U_n(\cos \theta) \sin \theta = \sin\big((n + 1)\theta\big). That these expressions define polynomials in \cos\theta may not be obvious at first sight, but follows by rewriting \cos(n\theta) and \sin\big((n+1)\theta\big) using de Moivre's formula or by using the angle sum formulas for \cos and \sin repeatedly. For example, the double angle formulas, which follow directly from the angle sum formulas, may be used to obtain T_2(\cos\theta)=\cos(2\theta)=2\cos^2\theta-1 and U_1(\cos\theta)\sin\theta=\sin(2\theta)=2\cos\theta\sin\theta, which are respectively a polynomial in \co ...

Bernstein's Inequality (mathematical Analysis)
Bernstein's theorem is an inequality relating the maximum modulus of a complex polynomial function on the unit disk with the maximum modulus of its derivative on the unit disk. It was proven by Sergei Bernstein while he was working on approximation theory. Statement Let \max_ , f(z), denote the maximum modulus of an arbitrary function f(z) on , z, =1, and let f'(z) denote its derivative. Then for every polynomial P(z) of degree n we have : \max_ , P'(z), \le n \max_ , P(z), . The inequality is best possible with equality holding if and only if : P(z) = \alpha z^n,\ , \alpha, = \max_ , P(z), . Proof Let P(z) be a polynomial of degree n, and let Q(z) be another polynomial of the same degree with no zeros in , z, \ge 1. We show first that if , P(z), < , Q(z), on , then on . By |
Remez Inequality
In mathematics, the Remez inequality, discovered by the Soviet mathematician Evgeny Yakovlevich Remez , gives a bound on the sup norms of certain polynomials, the bound being attained by the Chebyshev polynomials. The inequality Let ''σ'' be an arbitrary fixed positive number. Define the class of polynomials π''n''(''σ'') to be those polynomials ''p'' of the ''n''th degree for which :, p(x), \le 1 on some set of measure ≥ 2 contained in the closed interval 1, 1+''σ'' Then the Remez inequality states that :\sup_ \left\, p\right\, _\infty = \left\, T_n\right\, _\infty where ''T''''n''(''x'') is the Chebyshev polynomial of degree ''n'', and the supremum norm is taken over the interval 1, 1+''σ'' Observe that ''T''''n'' is increasing on , +\infty/math>, hence : \, T_n\, _\infty = T_n(1+\sigma). The R.i., combined with an estimate on Chebyshev polynomials, implies the following corollary: If ''J'' ⊂ R is a finite interval, and ''E'' ⊂&nb ...

Computational Complexity Theory
In theoretical computer science and mathematics, computational complexity theory focuses on classifying computational problems according to their resource usage, and relating these classes to each other. A computational problem is a task solved by a computer. A computation problem is solvable by mechanical application of mathematical steps, such as an algorithm. A problem is regarded as inherently difficult if its solution requires significant resources, whatever the algorithm used. The theory formalizes this intuition, by introducing mathematical models of computation to study these problems and quantifying their computational complexity, i.e., the amount of resources needed to solve them, such as time and storage. Other measures of complexity are also used, such as the amount of communication (used in communication complexity), the number of gates in a circuit (used in circuit complexity) and the number of processors (used in parallel computing).

Theorems In Analysis
In mathematics, a theorem is a statement that has been proved, or can be proved. The ''proof'' of a theorem is a logical argument that uses the inference rules of a deductive system to establish that the theorem is a logical consequence of the axioms and previously proved theorems. In the mainstream of mathematics, the axioms and the inference rules are commonly left implicit, and, in this case, they are almost always those of Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice, or of a less powerful theory, such as Peano arithmetic. A notable exception is Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, which involves the Grothendieck universes whose existence requires the addition of a new axiom to the set theory. Generally, an assertion that is explicitly called a theorem is a proved result that is not an immediate consequence of other known theorems. Moreover, many authors qualify as ''theorems'' only the most important results, and use the terms ''lemma'', ''proposition'' an ...
