Intermediate Number Theory

These are more complex number theory theorems that may turn up on the USAMO or Pre-Olympiad tests. This will also cover diverging and converging series, and other such calculus-related topics.

General Mean Inequality

Take a set of functions $m_j(a) = \left({\frac{\sum a_i^j}{n}}\right)^{1/j}$.

Note that $m_0$ does not exist. The geometric mean is $\displaystyle m_0 = \lim_{k \to 0} m_k$. For non-negative real numbers $a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n$, the following holds:

$m_x \le m_y$ for reals $x<y$.

I$m_2$ is the quadratic mean, $m_1$ is the arithmetic mean, $m_0$ the geometric mean, and $m_{-1}$ the harmonic mean.

Chebyshev's Inequality

Given real numbers $a_1 \ge a_2 \ge ... \ge a_n \ge 0$ and $b_1 \ge b_2 \ge ... \ge b_n$, we have

%{\frac{\sum a_ib_i}{n}} \ge {\frac{\sum a_i}{n}}{\frac{\sum b_i}{n}}%.

Minkowsky's Inequality

Given real numbers $a_1,a_2,...,a_n$ and $b_1,b_2,\ldots,b_n$, the following holds:

$\sqrt{\sum a_i^2} + \sqrt{\sum b_i^2} \ge \sqrt{\sum (a_i+b_i)^2}$

Nesbitt's Inequality

For all positive real numbers $a$, $b$ and $c$, the following holds:

$\displaystyle{\frac{a}{b+c}} + {\frac{b}{c+a}} + {\frac{c}{a+b}} \ge {\frac{3}{2}}$.

Schur's inequality

Given positive real numbers $a,b,c$ and real $r$, the following holds:

$a^r(a-b)(a-c)+b^r(b-a)(b-c)+c^r(c-a)(c-b)\ge 0$.
