Good day, I have this problem that appeared in some practical problem that I'm working on.
I basically want to find the boundaries of a,b,c,d for which the following inequality is satisfied, if a,b,c,d \in ℝ^+ and the inequality is:
-2 \cdot d + c - a \cdot (c \cdot d)^2 + a \cdot c + \frac{1}{a \cdot c \cdot b^2} \ge 0
How would one approach such a problem, to find the exact solution set?
I'm not really expecting you to solve it, but I'd very much like to hear some advice on how to approach such a problem, to get some information from it, because I want to learn something new.
Thanks

The inequality relates four variables and maps them to the value of the left hand side. This yields the graph of a function in five dimensional space, a so called four dimensional hypersurface. The solutions are all points on one side of this hypersurface.

I don't see a way to visualize or 'solve' this. One can only make additional assumptions as fixing some variables or perform other projections on lower dimensional spaces.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
