min/max
From Maths
TODO: Flesh out this page - I created it only to document the a∨b:=max seen in Probability and Stochastics
Contents
[hide]Definition
Traditionally:
- \max(x,y):=\left\{\begin{array}{lr}x & \text{if }x\ge y\\ y & \text{otherwise}\end{array}\right.
- \min(x,y):=\left\{\begin{array}{lr}x & \text{if }x\le y\\ y & \text{otherwise}\end{array}\right.
Notations
\min | Definition | \max | Definition | Comment |
---|---|---|---|---|
a\wedge b | a\wedge b:=\min(a,b)[1] | a\vee b | a\vee b:=\max(a,b)[1] | I've not seen this notation used ANYWHERE else |
