Mean value inequalities #

In this file we prove several mean inequalities for finite sums. Versions for integrals of some of these inequalities are available in measure_theory.mean_inequalities.

Main theorems: generalized mean inequality #

The inequality says that for two non-negative vectors $w$ and $z$ with $\sum_{i\in s} w_i=1$ and $p ≤ q$ we have $$ \sqrt[p]{\sum_{i\in s} w_i z_i^p} ≤ \sqrt[q]{\sum_{i\in s} w_i z_i^q}. $$

Currently we only prove this inequality for $p=1$. As in the rest of mathlib, we provide different theorems for natural exponents (pow_arith_mean_le_arith_mean_pow), integer exponents (zpow_arith_mean_le_arith_mean_zpow), and real exponents (rpow_arith_mean_le_arith_mean_rpow and arith_mean_le_rpow_mean). In the first two cases we prove $$ \left(\sum_{i\in s} w_i z_i\right)^n ≤ \sum_{i\in s} w_i z_i^n $$ in order to avoid using real exponents. For real exponents we prove both this and standard versions.
