Inequalities for $$L^p$$-Norms that Sharpen the Triangle Inequality and Complement Hanner’s Inequality

On the metric triangle inequality

A non-contradictible axiomatic theory is constructed under the local reversibility of the metric triangle inequality. The obtained notion includes the metric spaces as particular cases and the generated metric topology is T$_{1}$-separated and generally, non-Hausdorff.

Triangle inequality for resistances

Given an electrical circuit each edge e of which is an isotropic conductor with a monomial conductivity function y∗ e = y r e/μ s e. In this formula, ye is the potential difference and y∗ e current in e, while μe is the resistance of e, while r and s are two strictly positive real parameters common for all edges. In 1987, Gvishiani and Gurvich [4] proved that, for every two nodes a, b of the ci...

Inequalities that Imply the Isoperimetric Inequality

The isoperimetric inequality says that the area of any region in the plane bounded by a curve of a fixed length can never exceed the area of a circle whose boundary has that length. Moreover, if some region has the same length and area as some circle, then it must be the circle. There are dozens of proofs. We give several arguments which depend on more primitive geometric and analytic inequalit...

The Poverty-Growth-Inequality Triangle

Improved estimates for the triangle inequality

We obtain refined estimates of the triangle inequality in a normed space using integrals and the Tapia semi-product. The particular case of an inner product space is discussed in more detail.
