Chebyshev's sum inequality #
This file proves the Chebyshev sum inequality.
Chebyshev's inequality states (∑ i ∈ s, f i) * (∑ i ∈ s, g i) ≤ s.card * ∑ i ∈ s, f i * g i
when f g : ι → α
monovary, and the reverse inequality when f
and g
antivary.

Implementation notes #
In fact, we don't need much compatibility between the addition and multiplication of α
, so we can
actually decouple them by replacing multiplication with scalar multiplication and making f
and g
land in different types.
As a bonus, this makes the dual statement trivial. The multiplication versions are provided for
convenience.
The case for Monotone
/Antitone
pairs of functions over a LinearOrder
is not deduced in this
file because it is easily deducible from the Monovary
API.
Scalar multiplication versions #
Chebyshev's Sum Inequality: When f
and g
monovary together (eg they are both
monotone/antitone), the scalar product of their sum is less than the size of the set times their
scalar product.
Chebyshev's Sum Inequality: When f
and g
antivary together (eg one is monotone, the
other is antitone), the scalar product of their sum is less than the size of the set times their
scalar product.
Chebyshev's Sum Inequality: When f
and g
monovary together (eg they are both
monotone/antitone), the scalar product of their sum is less than the size of the set times their
scalar product.
Chebyshev's Sum Inequality: When f
and g
antivary together (eg one is monotone, the
other is antitone), the scalar product of their sum is less than the size of the set times their
scalar product.
Multiplication versions #
Special cases of the above when scalar multiplication is actually multiplication.
Chebyshev's Sum Inequality: When f
and g
monovary together (eg they are both
monotone/antitone), the product of their sum is less than the size of the set times their scalar
product.
Chebyshev's Sum Inequality: When f
and g
antivary together (eg one is monotone, the
other is antitone), the product of their sum is greater than the size of the set times their scalar
product.
Special case of Chebyshev's Sum Inequality or the Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality: The square of the sum is less than the size of the set times the sum of the squares.

monotone/antitone), the product of their sum is less than the size of the set times their scalar
product.

and g
