From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Hermite-Hadamard inequality)

In mathematics, the Hermite–Hadamard inequality, named after Charles Hermite and Jacques Hadamard and sometimes also called Hadamard's inequality, states that if a function ƒ : [ab] → R is convex, then the following chain of inequalities hold:

The inequality has been generalized to higher dimensions: if is a bounded, convex domain and is a positive convex function, then

where is a constant depending only on the dimension.
