  • This video is dedicated to applications of the Cauchy Schwarz Inequality, including an application to a problem on the 1995 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). We explain why the inequality holds and when it is satisfied with equality. We then show how to maximize a linear function on a sphere using it, and culminate with the IMO problem.

    Nice, Cauchy Schwarz is quite useful in math competitions. The trick is to find a way to properly utilize it as shown in the video.

    In (IMO 1995 ) I also tried to take c=1/ab, then we have ((ab)a/(ab)b+1) +((ab)b/((ab)a+1) +1/((ab)(a+b)) , where a, b>0.
    Let (ab)a=k;(ab)b=l, then we calculate minimum for k/(l+1) +l/(k+1) + 1/(k+l) where k,l >0. If I take partial derivative, there is minimum for k=l . Minumum of function f(k)=2k/(k+1) +1/(2k) is for k=1. If k=l=1, then a=b=c=1. So we have thet minimum is 3/2.

    • @ProfOmarMath
      @ProfOmarMath  3 роки тому

      I like this analytic approach. I think you get a local min if you check by second derivative test but then an argument is needed to show the local min is a global min

    04:12 Here how do get to the conclusion that vector v and u have to be parallel for x+2y+3z to be sqrt 14? I have completel understanding of vectors and I am learning Calc 3 so feel free to explain using vectors.

    • @ProfOmarMath
      @ProfOmarMath  2 роки тому

      Ah yes. The Cauchy Schwarz inequality says the dot product of two vectors is bounded above by the product of their lengths and that equality holds if and only if they are parallel. This happens because the dot product equals the product of their lengths times the cosine of the angle between them, and that is maximized when the angle is 0 or 180 (the latter because we actually take the absolute value of the dot product)

  • @pythontron8710
    @pythontron8710 2 роки тому

    Your notation at the end is a bit sloppy, since it appears that you’re applying the AM-GM mean inequality to (ab + ac + bc) / 2 instead of (ab + ac + bc) / 3 separately to find a minimum of the numerator.
    Good vid otherwise 👍

    This is the Cauchy-Bunyakovskiy inequality, maybe you are right to call it "-Schwartz", but Bunyakovskiy - this is the name to remember when you talk about that inequality

    • @camerontorrance1992
      @camerontorrance1992 Рік тому +1

      Does Bunyakovsky's arguement work for a generic inner product space? The wording on wiki page makes sound like Schwartz's argument works in the general case, if true this might explain the current name of the inequality.
