This file is a note for reading inequality

Freeman study mechanical engineering.
Engineering mathematics do not teach
inequality. Above book is first inequality
book. First time read, it was very hard.
Although high school time learned
a*a + b*b >= 2*a*b
But this little knowledge do not help.

□ Exercise 1.14 solution
Exercise 1.14 problem (a) is solved by hint
Exercise 1.14 problem (b) is out of LiuHH's
reach. What is "cardinality of a set B⊂Z3" ?
Without clear understand the definition,
LiuHH is unable to solve problem (b)
LiuHH major in mechanical engineering.
LiuHH is mathematics admirer and outsider.
<a name="docA007">
To solve problems in
The Cauchy-Schwarz Master Class
LiuHH's goal is to solve 50% of the exercise
problems. In reality, solve 40% is good enough.
Please do not be surprise that LiuHH skip some
text section, skip some problems.

■ Proof of Muirhead's inequality
Muirhead's Inequality is
eqn.12.18. Left side is sum
of product of xσ(i)αi permute
a whole cycle. We assumed
that α power can be written
as interpolation of β power.
(α is in β convex hull)
<a name="ch12c091">
We can write the following
equality (power of xσ(i))
(α1,α2,...,αn) ---eqn.BL081
=∑[τ∈Sn]pτ(βτ(1),βτ(2),...,βτ(n))
where // α,β vs. pk
pτ≧0 ---eqn.BL082
and
∑[τ∈Sn]pτ=1 ---eqn.BL083
<a name="ch12c092">Interpolation, extrapolation
both satisfy eqn.BL083.
Only interpolation satisfy
eqn.BL082.
When solve problem, do not
stop at ∑pτ=1, must make
sure each individual 0≦pτ≦1<a name="ch12c093">
eqn.BL081 is from assumption.
eqn.BL081 is power equation
for data array x1,x2,...,xn
xk to α power can not apply
AM-GM inequality.
xk to β power can apply AM-GM
inequality.
Because β power has eqn.BL082
and eqn.BL083, α power not.
<a name="ch12c094">Index beginIndex this file
Let us put power equation
eqn.BL081 on top of data
array. We find
xσ(1)α1xσ(2)α2...xσ(n)αn ---eqn.BL084
=∏[τ∈Sn]{xσ(1)βτ(1) * xσ(2)βτ(2) * ... * xσ(n)βτ(n)}pτ

Why '∏'? Example of eqn.BL084 in two variables
is eqn.BL007. One term a2b3 = (a1b4)2/3*(a4b)1/3
Power αi is small thing

power βj is hull
1,4;
power pτ is power 2/3 and 1/3. For one a2b3
2/3 + 1/3 sum to 1 once. But xσ(k)αk permute
n times. Total 2/3 + 1/3 sum to 1 take place
n times. Above simple example n=2. Other one is
a3b2 = (a1b4)1/3*(a4b)2/3

■ From Muirhead to AM-GM
To prove Muirhead's inequality
need use AM-GM inequality.
Can we do the reverse?
Can we prove AM-GM by using
Muirhead? Yes, it is possible.
<a name="ch12c149">
We get solid feeling if use
numerical n example. Instead
of eqn.BL065, eqn.BL065 and
x1,x2,...,xn.
Now assume n=5 and define
α=[α1,α2,α3,α4,α5] ---eqn.BL125
β=[β1,β2,β3,β4,β5] ---eqn.BL126
x=[a,b,c,d,e] ---eqn.BL127
<a name="ch12c150">
What is the value of α's ?
What is the value of β's ?
For given sequence [a,b,c,d,e]
Its AM, GM are
am=(a+b+c+d+e)/5 ---eqn.BL128
gm=(a*b*c*d*e)1/5 ---eqn.BL129
<a name="ch12c151">
Muirhead's Inequality is
eqn.12.18
One sequence with five elements
Muirhead use 5!=120 terms. But
am has five terms a,b,c,d,e.
(four additions)
gm has one term (a*b*c*d*e)1/5
(no addition)
<a name="ch12c152">
They are far away from 120 terms!!
How to determine [α1,α2,α3,α4,α5]?
How to determine [β1,β2,β3,β4,β5]?
A term link by multiplication,
A term complete by addition.
<a name="ch12c153">Index beginIndex this file
Muirhead one term is
+aα1*bα2*cα3*dα4*eα5 ---eqn.BL130
We can re-write gm eqn.BL129
as
+a1/5*b1/5*c1/5*d1/5*e1/5 ---eqn.BL131
Usually we use α power for less
than side. GM is less than side
in AM-GM inequality. Compare
eqn.BL130 with eqn.BL131, we
find
α=[α1,α2,α3,α4,α5] ---eqn.BL125
α=[1/5,1/5,1/5,1/5,1/5] ---eqn.BL132
<a name="ch12c154">
Next how about am eqn.BL128
First term is am1=a/5 ---eqn.BL133
Muirhead one term for β is
+aβ1*bβ2*cβ3*dβ4*eβ5 ---eqn.BL134
How to express a/5 in the
form of eqn.BL134?
'/5' is division, not power.
Forget '/5' for a while.
<a name="ch12c155">
Check power first. If equate
'a' (from 'a/5') power with
eqn.BL134, we must have
β1=1, and other β's=0
<a name="ch12c156">
For 'a' (from 'a/5') we need
β=[β1,β2,β3,β4,β5] ---eqn.BL126
β=[1,0,0,0,0] ---eqn.BL135
Similarly,
For 'b' (from 'b/5') we need
β=[0,1,0,0,0] ---eqn.BL136
<a name="ch12c157">
For 'c' (from 'c/5') we need
β=[0,0,1,0,0] ---eqn.BL137
For 'd' (from 'd/5') we need
β=[0,0,0,1,0] ---eqn.BL138
For 'e' (from 'e/5') we need
β=[0,0,0,0,1] ---eqn.BL139
<a name="ch12c158">Index beginIndex this fileWhere to find a '/5' for am?
Muirhead use permutation. We
need apply permutation to
eqn.BL128 and eqn.BL129
<a name="ch12c159">
GM use eqn.BL125 and eqn.BL132
for one GM term, we have
eqn.BL130. Put eqn.BL132
α value to eqn.BL130 we get
eqn.BL129 exactly. Permute
eqn.BL130, there are 5!=120
terms. They are identical !
<a name="ch12c160">
Because
α1=α2=α3=α4=α5=1/5 ---eqn.BL140
Instead of write eqn.BL129
120 times, we write
Muirhead's less than side as
(5!)*(a*b*c*d*e)1/5 ---eqn.BL141
Here n!=5!=5*4*3*2*1=120
<a name="ch12c161">
Above is GM. Next see AM.
Muirhead's greater than side.
It is still 5!=120 terms.
But there are five different
flavor. They are eqn.BL135
to eqn.BL139.
<a name="ch12c162">Index beginIndex this file
Put power on
top of data a,b,c,d,e, they
are (five flavors)
a1*b0*c0*d0*e0 ---eqn.BL142
a0*b1*c0*d0*e0 ---eqn.BL143
a0*b0*c1*d0*e0 ---eqn.BL144
a0*b0*c0*d1*e0 ---eqn.BL145
a0*b0*c0*d0*e1 ---eqn.BL146
<a name="ch12c163">
eqn.BL142 has four zero power,
it permuted (n-1)!=(5-1)!=4!=24
times. We do not write eqn.BL142
24 times, we write as
(4!)*a ---eqn.BL147
Zero-th power are dropped here.
<a name="ch12c164">
Similarly,
(4!)*b ---eqn.BL148
(4!)*c ---eqn.BL149
(4!)*d ---eqn.BL150
(4!)*e ---eqn.BL151
Add eqn.BL147 to eqn.BL151 get
(4!)*(a+b+c+d+e) ---eqn.BL152
eqn.BL152 is Muirhead's greater
than side 120 terms !!
<a name="ch12c165">
Muirhead tell us that
(5!)*(a*b*c*d*e)1/5
≦(4!)*(a+b+c+d+e) ---eqn.BL153
eqn.BL153 is complete equation
of Muirhead inequality for
AM-GM inequality.
<a name="ch12c166">
eqn.BL153 solved the puzzle.
Where '/5' come from?
'/5' come from (4!)/(5!)
Prove AM-GM by using Muirhead
is done.

Please pay special attention
to that for
∑[k]αk=1 ---eqn.BL154
∑[k]βk=1 ---eqn.BL155
case
GM α=[1/n,1/n,...,1/n] ---eqn.BL156
has most average distribution.
GM is majorized by any other
power distribution.
(GM is smaller than any other)
<a name="ch12c168">
AM β=[1,0,0,...0] ---eqn.BL157
has most un-even distribution.
AM majorize any other power
distribution. (need eqn.BL154)
(AM is greater than any other)
<a name="ch12c169">
Muirhead's Inequality has power
distribution in between AM and
GM, therefore we have
GM≦Muirhead≦AM ---eqn.BL158
Do you agree?
