Stream: Is there code for X?
Topic: Is x^(1/x) \leq e^(1/e) in Mathlib?
Terence Tao (Oct 26 2023 at 06:35):
Is the inequality
example {x:ℝ} (h: x > 0) : x^(x⁻¹) ≤ Real.exp Real.exp (Real.exp 1)⁻¹
already in Mathlib? An equivalent form is
example {x:ℝ} (h: x > 0) : (Real.exp 1) * Real.log x ≤ x
It's not too hard to prove (e.g., from the mean value theorem applied to Real.log
at Real.exp 1
and x
), but I wonder if it (or something close to it) already in Mathlib.
EDIT: Okay, I can get it from applying Real.log_le_sub_one_of_pos
to x / Real.exp 1
in a few lines. I guess that's good enough for me.
