In this notebook several methods for proving inequalities have been compared.

First of all we need a dataset. 35 inequalities were selected from https://www.imomath.com/index.php?options=592&lmm=0. Each inequality is represented by a tuple: inequality (in LaTeX), inequality constraints (for example: $a\in [0,1]$, equality constraints (for example: $abc=1$) and a function which converts inequality to a formula which we want to prove it's nonnegativity. In most cases when this function is simply a difference between left and right-hand side, but sometimes it's better to use difference between squares of sides (to get rid of square roots). These tuples are used as parameters in parser function which converts them to equivalent inequalities with default constraints (i.e. all variables are positive).

Some tuples have less than 4 elements. In this case parser use default arguments.

sympy has a parse_latex function which converts LaTeX formula to a sympy one. Unfortunately it doesn't deal with missing braces in the way that LaTeX do. For example \frac12 generates $\frac12$ which is the same as \frac{1}{2}, but parse_latex accepts only the second version. So here there is a boring function which adds missing braces.

Most formulas was converted to polynomials of independent variables. However formulas No. 22 and No. 31 were not. For this reason it's very unlikely that any method of proving these ones will succeed.

Now let's try some methods of proving these inequalities. The first one would be the simple prove.

In [7]:
tm=[0]*4
In [8]:
from collections import Counter
from timeit import default_timer as timer
start=timer()
t=[]
for ineq in ineqs2:
    t+=[prove(ineq)]
    print(t[-1],end=',')
tm[0]=timer()-start
print('\n',tm[0],sep='')
Counter(t)
0,2,2,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,2,0,2,2,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,2,0,2,0,2,0,
20.714609994000057
Out[8]:
Counter({0: 21, 2: 14})

Code 0 means that the proof was found, all other codes means that proof wasn't found. So this method has proved 21 inequalities.

The second method uses findvalues function, rationalizes the result numbers and gives them as additional parameter to prove function.

In [9]:
def cut(a):
    if a<=0 or a>=100 or (a is None):
        return 1
    return a
start=timer()
t2=[]
for ineq in ineqs2:
    numvalues=findvalues(ineq,disp=0)
    values=nsimplify(numvalues,tolerance=0.1,rational=True)
    values=list(map(cut,values))
    t2+=[prove(ineq,values=values)]
    print(t2[-1],end=',')
tm[1]=timer()-start
print('\n',tm[1],sep='')
Counter(t2)
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,2,0,2,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,0,2,0,
21.832711064998875
Out[9]:
Counter({0: 24, 2: 11})

The third method is similar to the second one, but instead of rationalize values it squares, rationalizes and makes square roots of these values.

In [10]:
def cut(a):
    if a<=0 or a>=1000 or (a is None):
        return S(1)
    return a
    
start=timer()
t3=[]
for ineq in ineqs2:
    numvalues=findvalues(ineq,disp=0)
    numvalues=tuple([x**2 for x in numvalues])
    values=nsimplify(numvalues,tolerance=0.1,rational=True)
    values=[sqrt(x) for x in values]
    values=list(map(cut,values))
    t3+=[prove(ineq,values=values)]
    print(t3[-1],end=',')
tm[2]=timer()-start
print('\n',tm[2],sep='')
Counter(t3)
0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,2,0,2,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,0,2,0,
21.697120987002563
Out[10]:
Counter({0: 23, 2: 12})

Finally, the fourth method is a slight modification to the third method. It does the same "findvalues, square, rationalize and make square roots" thing, but then it scales the values and runs it again. It can sometimes help with uniform formulas.

In [11]:
def betw(a):
    return a>0.001 and a<1000 and a!=None
def cut(a):
    if betw(a):
        return a
    return S(1)

start=timer()
t4=[]
for ineq in ineqs2:
    numvalues=findvalues(ineq,disp=0)
    n=1
    numvalues2=[]
    for i in numvalues:
        if betw(i):
            n=1/i
            break
    for i in numvalues:
        if betw(i):
            numvalues2+=[i*n]
        else:
            numvalues2+=[1]
    numvalues3=findvalues(ineq,values=numvalues2,disp=0)
    numvalues4=tuple([x**2 for x in numvalues3])
    values=nsimplify(numvalues4,tolerance=0.1,rational=True)
    values=[sqrt(x) for x in values]
    values=list(map(cut,values))
    t4+=[prove(ineq,values=values)]
    print(t4[-1],end=',')
tm[3]=timer()-start
print('\n',tm[3],sep='')
Counter(t4)
0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,2,0,2,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,0,2,0,2,0,2,0,
23.187820409999404
Out[11]:
Counter({0: 24, 2: 11})
In [17]:

Down below there are contingency tables and McNemar test for every pair of methods.

In all cases p-value is greater than 0.05, so there is no statistical difference between the methods.
