Chebyshev's Inequality - Integral Chebyshev Inequality

Integral Chebyshev Inequality

There is a second (less well known) inequality also named after Chebyshev

If f, g : → R are two monotonic functions of the same monotonicity, then

If f and g are of opposite monotonicity, then the above inequality works in the reverse way.

This inequality is related to Jensen's inequality, Kantorovich's inequality, the Hermite–Hadamard inequality and Walter's conjecture.

Famous quotes containing the words integral and/or inequality:

    An island always pleases my imagination, even the smallest, as a small continent and integral portion of the globe. I have a fancy for building my hut on one. Even a bare, grassy isle, which I can see entirely over at a glance, has some undefined and mysterious charm for me.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A man willing to work, and unable to find work, is perhaps the saddest sight that fortune’s inequality exhibits under this sun.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
