Probabilistic inequalities

Gauss's inequality

In probability theory, Gauss's inequality (or the Gauss inequality) gives an upper bound on the probability that a unimodal random variable lies more than any given distance from its mode. Let X be a unimodal random variable with mode m, and let τ 2 be the expected value of (X − m)2. (τ 2 can also be expressed as (μ − m)2 + σ 2, where μ and σ are the mean and standard deviation of X.) Then for any positive value of k, The theorem was first proved by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1823. (Wikipedia).

The Gaussian isoperimetric inequality gives a sharp lower bound on the Gaussian surface area of any set in terms of its Gaussian measure. Its dimension-independent nature makes it a powerful tool for proving concentration inequalities in high dimensions. We will explore several consequence

Theory of numbers: Gauss's lemma

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We describe Gauss's lemma which gives a useful criterion for whether a number n is a quadratic residue of a prime p. We work it out explicitly for n = -1, 2 and 3, and as an application prove some cases of Di
