Jun 14, 2017 · Min means Minimum. So yes, it's a function that, taken two elements, gives you the minimum of those.

Min clearly means minimum and max maximum, but I am confused about a question that says "With x, y, z x, y, z being positive numbers, let xyz = 1 x y z = 1, use the AM-GM inequality to …

Consider for example the natural numbers, which certainly have a least element. In the cases where min min is not well-defined and inf inf would be more commonly used, one cannot really …

Define argminx f(x) arg min x f (x) as the set of values of x x for which the minimum of f(x) f (x) is attained, so it is the set of values where the function attains the minimum. Thus, argminx f(x) …

Oct 16, 2015 · The space between "arg" and "min" is confusing; it would better be written "argmin". What the operator argmin does, when applied to a function, is pick out the point in …

Aug 14, 2018 · The subscript of min min is often used to denote the set in which the minimization takes place. For example minx∈[0,1](f(x)) min x ∈ [0, 1] (f (x)) is the same as min({f(x): x ∈ [0, …

which isn't intuitively the minimum of three numbers, and isn't even symmetrical in the variables, even though its output is. Is there some nicer way of expressing this function?

The definitions for inf inf and min min are symmetric when replacing upper bound by lower bound, etc. Note, however, that not every order relation has this property of having upper bounds, not …

The notation is read "min over k of..." meaning that you are free to adjust the value of k k in order to minimize the value of jk j k. A clearer example would be:

May 9, 2017 · I'm searching for some symbol representing minimum that is commonly used in math equations.
